Job Description

Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that unlocks the ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle through the power of community. By exchanging primary residences with trusted peers, renters and owners alike can match with Kindred spirits and explore new destinations without breaking the bank.

We are on a mission to build a sharing economy that lives up to the name, and we’ve raised significant capital from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley, including Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad Gil, and the founders of Opendoor, Figma, ClassPass, Clubhouse, Divvy, Gem, and Homebound.

The co-founders are proven leaders from the early team at proptech company Opendoor ($15B+ exit) and have each separately built and scaled products that today do $1B+ annual revenue combined.

We’re looking for the world’s top builders, executors, and believers to join us on this ride.

The Role:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Executive Assistant to provide world-class administrative support to our CEO. This role is essential to Kindred’s ability to scale and achieve its mission by optimizing the CEO’s time and focus. By expertly managing the CEO's calendar, travel, and communications, you’ll ensure that her attention remains focused on the highest-impact activities. As her trusted right hand, you will enable our CEO to concentrate on top priorities, from investor relations to key partnerships, while seamlessly handling day-to-day tasks. You’ll play a critical role in driving efficiency and organization within the office of the CEO, enhancing the productivity and alignment across the executive team and company as a whole.

You Will:

• Serve as a strategic administrative partner to the CEO, proactively anticipating needs to protect her time and attention.
• Track ongoing action items and follow up as needed to keep the CEO organized and aligned with priorities.
• Act as a gatekeeper, confidently saying "no" when necessary to maintain focus on critical business goals and priorities.
• Provide in-office support at least 4 days per week, occasionally working from the CEO's home to enable close collaboration and alignment.
• Calendar Management: Manage a complex and ever-evolving calendar with an eye for detail, strategically rescheduling meetings and proactively blocking time to maximize productivity.
• Travel Coordination: Arrange complex domestic and international travel with detailed itineraries, balancing precise travel logistics with the needs and expectations of a global team.
• Inbox Management: Oversee the CEO’s inbox to prioritize key messages, draft responses in her voice, and track follow-ups.
• Office Management (interim, at least 6 months): Support office management during the new office transition, dedicating ~10% of your time to tasks such as coordinating office access, welcoming visitors, organizing team meals, and managing vendor relationships.
• Assist in special projects such as planning offsites, events, and executive gatherings, handling all logistical details and occasionally leading ad hoc projects to provide operational support.

You may be a fit for this role if you:

• Have 7+ years of experience as a Senior Executive Assistant, Executive Business Partner, or similar role, ideally supporting the CEO of a fast-growing tech startup from Series C through post-IPO stages.
• Are skilled in managing complex schedules and have experience supporting executives with extensive travel, understanding the logistics required to optimize their time across multiple time zones.
• Are highly organized with exceptional judgment, able to prioritize and make decisions independently with limited guidance.
• Possess strong written communication skills, with the capability to draft messages in the CEO’s voice and maintain a high level of professionalism.
• Demonstrate discretion, resourcefulness, and an ability to build relationships and communicate effectively at all levels.
• Are proficient in Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar) and familiar with productivity tools such as Slack and Notion.
• Are based in San Francisco and able to work in-office at least 4 days per week, with occasional flexibility to work from the CEO’s home.

Our Benefits:

At Kindred, we know that good things happen when we look out for one another. We offer our employees the following benefits:

• Our opening spans more than one career level. The base salary offered depends on many factors, such as work experience, transferable skills, business needs and impact, and market demands.
• A vibrant, inclusive, and highly skilled team that ferociously protects team chemistry
• A culture of championship (vs. just mentorship), feedback, and continual development
• Competitive cash compensation and equity
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Flexible vacation policy
• Unlimited credits to stay at Kindred homes during your time as an employee
• $4,000 annual travel stipend to use toward travel costs to stay at a Kindred home
• Remote-flexible work environment. We encourage team members to travel and adventure, including working from Kindred HQ in San Francisco!
• Regular offsites to co-locate with the team
