Executive Partner at Athena
Executive Partner
The Role
- Athena Executive Partners (XPs) go beyond the role of traditional executive assistants. As an Athena XP, you’ll become a strategic collaborator supporting ambitious founders, investors, creators, and industry leaders as part of an integrated team that includes your dedicated member, their executive coach, and the broader Athena network.
- No two days will be the same — one day you might be organizing a high-stakes investor meeting, the next helping design a member’s personal productivity system. Athena provides continuous training so you’re always learning new skills while delivering exceptional, evolving support. Athena gives you the chance to work in a structured environment with room to grow and a team that has your back. You’ll have autonomy when you want it, and support when you need it.
Key Responsibilities
- Optimize your member’s time and priorities through strategic thinking and proactive execution
- Manage high-stakes scheduling, communications, and complex logistics
- Drive research and strategic initiatives forward
- Build trust with your member’s extended network and stakeholders
- Create executive-ready presentations and content
- Anticipate needs and solve problems before being asked
- Collaborate with your member’s executive coach to ensure aligned priorities and seamless execution
The Athena Hub Model
This role requires living within 80km of our [City Name] Hub for:
- Intensive onboarding: Two weeks of immersive, onsite training
- Ongoing development: Monthly Hub sessions and continuous learning
- Community: Work alongside ambitious, values-aligned peers
- Responsiveness: Ability to report onsite within ~2 hours when needed
You’re a great fit if you:
- Communicate with clarity, confidence, and discretion
- Thrive in high-performance environments with shifting priorities
- Are relentlessly proactive and exceptionally organized
- Have strong English communication skills (written and spoken)
- Are tech-savvy (Google Workspace, Mac, AI tools)
- Want career growth, not just a job
- Can work full-time (40 hours/week), often aligned to U.S. time zones
- Are fully committed (no side gigs or other employment)
