The Role

Cape is seeking a high-caliber Administrative Assistant to serve as a strategic "force multiplier" for our VP of Engineering. Your mission is to own the operational details that allow our leaders to stay focused on the big picture. You aren't just managing a calendar; you are managing the rhythm of the business, ensuring our team is in the right place, at the right time, with exactly what they need to succeed.

What You’ll Work On

Strategic Calendar Command: You will transform the executive calendar into a curated roadmap, ensuring time is strictly allocated to Cape’s highest priorities while proactively resolving 100% of scheduling conflicts

Exceptional Communication: You have a diplomatic touch. You can say "no" to a request on behalf of leadership in a way that preserves the relationship and upholds Cape’s brand
High-Growth Agility: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You can pivot between a complex travel booking and a sensitive office project without losing your attention to detail
Initiative: A proactive attitude toward anticipating needs, taking action without being asked, and identifying opportunities to improve processes or efficiency
Interpersonal Skills: Strong ability to build positive working relationships, engage with team members, and work collaboratively across different levels of the organization
Adaptability: A willingness to go with the flow, pivot and adjust course as the needs of the business change

Experience

Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize effectively, and maintain an orderly workflow to ensure smooth operations.
