About Us:
  • At Sierra, we're building a platform to enable every company in the world to build their own autonomous AI agents for everything from customer service to commerce. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco.
  • We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Competitive Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
  • Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret was most recently co-CEO of Salesforce, which had previously acquired the company he founded, Quip. Before founding Quip, Bret was the CTO of Facebook. Bret was one of Google's earliest product managers and one of the co-creators of Google Maps. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google's AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
What You'll Do:

As an Executive Assistant supporting one of our co-founders at Sierra, you will provide a wide range of strategic and administrative support to our leadership team, including:
  • Proactively manage the co-founder's calendar, coordinating appointments, travel, and meetings. Liaison with home calendar.
  • Draft correspondence and responses on behalf of the co-founder, while also managing their inbox. Ensure the effectiveness of meetings by sending preparation and follow-up materials and being an active and knowledgeable resource on the organization or topic on hand.
  • Liaise with internal staff and other stakeholders on behalf of the co-founder. Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Maintain a high level of confidentiality and discretion with all materials and information.
  • Establish new-and improve existing-administrative systems and processes as a founding Sierra admin team.
What You'll Bring:
  • 7+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant or similar.
  • Ability to build relationships, partnering effectively with cross-functional teams and external partners.
  • Excellent time management skills, willingness to quickly shift tasks and priorities, and anticipate the needs of others before they arise.
  • Ability to organize, analyze, and prioritize executive workflows, often using and interpreting data.
  • Willingness and ability to travel as needed (est. 2x per quarter).
Even Better:
  • Experience in a fast-growing, in-person start-up environment.
  • Advanced proficiency with Google Suite & Slack.
Our Values:
  • Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.
  • Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers' business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.
  • Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn't right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.
  • Intensity: We know we don't have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn't, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.
  • Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other's personal and professional achievements.
