Job Description
This role requires a combination of intense focus and flexibility, and a willingness to play an incredibly active part while enjoying behind-the-scenes access to 1 of the top 3 women-led startups in America. This is a critically important role, enabling the CEO to work more effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
As the CEO’s ‘trusted counsel’ and ‘right-hand person’ the role demands a strong attention to detail, impeccable writing skills and the hunger and hustle to get shit done right without excuses or ego. You live to ‘create calm from chaos’ and are motivated to help make people run as effectively as possible.
The ideal candidate wants to grow with Copia and realizes this is a huge responsibility. This position requires a lot of work but is an incredible stepping stone towards a larger and long-term role with the company.

TLDR: You are ridiculously organized and incredibly efficient. You exude positive vibes. You have a great work ethic and impeccable writing skills. Major brownie points if you are funny too.
