Executive Assistant

Job type: Full Time · Department: Founder's Office · Work type: On-Site

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, proactive Executive Assistant to support Abhishek and Saurabh, Plum's co-founders. This isn't a traditional EA role. You'll be a force multiplier for two of the busiest people in the company, operating with high autonomy and a bias for getting things done before they're asked.

What You'll Do

  • Own complex calendar management across time zones, prioritising ruthlessly and protecting deep work time

  • Draft, review, and send communications on behalf of the founders: board updates, investor notes, external correspondence

  • Coordinate with investors, board members, and key external stakeholders

  • Track action items, follow-ups, and decisions coming out of founder meetings

  • Handle confidential information with absolute discretion

  • Take on special projects and ad hoc research as needed

Who You Are

  • 5-7+ years of experience as an EA, ideally supporting C-suite leaders at a startup or fast-paced organisation

  • You've been in the room (or managed what happens before and after it). You understand founder context

  • Exceptionally organised with strong attention to detail

  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You can represent the founders externally with confidence

  • Calm under pressure, adaptable, and two steps ahead

  • High EQ. You know when to push, when to wait, and when to just handle it

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience at a funded startup or VC-backed company

  • Familiarity with tools like Notion, Slack, Google Workspace
