About Margaux
Margaux was founded on a simple idea: that the things we wear every day deserve to be made beautifully, fit perfectly, and last. What started as a made-to-order shoe brand has grown into a community of women who care deeply about craft, design, and the small details that make a life feel considered. We're a small team in New York at a genuinely interesting moment - our foundation is really solid, and now we're focused on building upon it. We're hiring an Executive Assistant who'll work directly with the people driving this next chapter.
The Role:
You'll be the right hand to two of our leaders - the person who makes sure their time is spent on what matters, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the day-to-day rhythm of the business runs with the same care we put into our product.
You'll have exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to shape how a fast-growing company actually operates. We will trust you with a lot; and in return, you'll have visibility into every corner of a growing company.
What you'll do:
Founder support
Own their calendars with judgment - protect deep work, prioritize what's urgent, prepare them for every meeting
Stay ahead of conflicts, double-bookings, and last-minute changes
Build in breathing room - buffer travel time, guard focus blocks, and keep the day from getting away from them
Coordinate domestic and international travel - flights, hotels, ground transport, and the business meals and meetings woven in between
Put together detailed itineraries they can actually rely on: confirmation numbers, contacts, and everything in between
Keep expenses organized and reimbursements moving
Meetings and follow-through
Prep agendas, capture next steps, chase decisions
Be the connective tissue between the founders and the rest of the leadership team
Culture and team moments
Plan the offsites, team dinners, and in-office celebrations that keep Margaux close-knit as we grow
Handle gifting with care - employee milestones, client appreciation, holidays, and founder outreach that feels personal
Partner with our existing People / Admin team to build community and support our employees
Board outreach and coordination, including scheduling, venue, catering, tech, materials - everything that makes them feel effortless
Coordinate board member travel, accommodations, and dinners, requiring professional and consistent communication
Personal support
Help the founders manage the edges of their lives so they can stay focused on the business
Handle infrequent personal scheduling, reservations, and errands with discretion
Take on the ad hoc research, purchases, and logistics that come with working closely with busy people
Who you are:
You've supported a senior leader, run an office, or held a role where you were trusted with more than your title suggested
You're discreet - the founders' calendars, finances, and conversations are yours to protect, and you treat them that way
You communicate clearly and beautifully - in writing, in person, and in the way you read a room and respond to what's actually needed
You're warm with people and rigorous with details
You're fluent in the tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Shopify, Greenhouse, Justworks - or you are open to learning the ins and outs of using them well)
You're quick on your feet, creative under pressure, and the kind of person who surfaces a problem along with a solution
Where you'll work:
This is a full-time, in-person role based in our New York City office.
What we offer:
Compensation: $70,000-$80,000 base, plus annual bonus eligibility
Unlimited PTO so you can rest and recharge
Sick leave and paid parental leave
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k)
