Sample interview questions
I assess each request against business urgency, strategic impact, required decision-makers, and deadlines. I protect focus time, identify conflicts early, propose practical alternatives, and communicate tradeoffs clearly so executives can make informed decisions when necessary.
Before a leadership planning meeting, I reviewed the agenda, prior action items, and attendee availability to prepare decision materials, confirm owners, and flag unresolved dependencies. This allowed the executive to enter the meeting prepared and helped the group leave with clear next steps.
I apply need-to-know access, use approved systems, verify recipients before sharing materials, and exercise discretion in both written and verbal conversations. If I am uncertain whether information can be shared, I pause and confirm with the appropriate executive or stakeholder.
I prepare agendas and pre-reads in advance, capture decisions and accountable owners during the meeting, and distribute concise notes promptly afterward. I maintain an action tracker with due dates, follow up proactively, and escalate blockers early when they could affect priorities.
I use detailed checklists, maintain contingency plans, and communicate changes quickly to affected stakeholders. I focus on the highest-risk dependencies first, stay calm, and continuously update itineraries, meeting details, and priorities as conditions change.

About the Role
We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to senior executives across Solace’s leadership team, including C-suite leaders and Vice Presidents, specifically within our Finance Department. This role is a strategic partner responsible for enabling executives to operate efficiently, stay focused on high-impact priorities, and maintain strong operational cadence across the organization.
You’ll manage complex calendars, meetings, communication flow, travel, and executive coordination, while also supporting leadership events, offsites, and cross-functional initiatives. The ideal candidate brings exceptional judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role that is foundational to Solace’s ability to scale.
What You’ll Do
Own complex, multi-time-zone calendar management, prioritizing meetings based on urgency, impact, and strategic value.
Protect executive time by triaging inbound requests, managing hold blocks, and proactively resolving scheduling conflicts.
Support the planning and execution of leadership meetings, team offsites, and large-scale company events.
Act as a proxy in meetings when needed, capturing detailed notes, clarifying decisions, and driving follow-through on action items.
Draft, edit, and send communications on behalf of executives with professionalism, clarity, and strong executive presence.
Serve as a primary point of contact between executives and internal leaders, external partners, vendors, and stakeholders.
Digest, summarize, and escalate key information, updates, risks, or insights while maintaining strict confidentiality.
Support leadership operating cadence (staff meetings, business reviews, planning sessions, offsites) by owning agendas, note-taking, action tracking, and follow-through.
Build and continuously improve systems, templates, and processes that enhance executive productivity and organizational effectiveness.
Manage end-to-end travel logistics, itineraries, reservations, and expense reporting with meticulous attention to detail.
Ensure seamless operational execution during high-volume periods, travel, or periods of rapid change.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience supporting senior executives, preferably at the VP or C-suite level in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
Experience working with a fintech startup or financial firm.
Exceptional calendar management, prioritization, and organizational skills.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to draft clear, concise executive-level messaging.
Demonstrated judgment, professionalism, and ability to handle highly confidential information.
Excellent project management skills with a strong bias toward execution and follow-through.
Ability to anticipate needs, solve problems independently, and stay ahead of deadlines.
Comfort operating in a dynamic, sometimes ambiguous environment while maintaining calm and clarity.
High EQ and ability to navigate cross-functional relationships with empathy, tact, and confidence.
Bonus Points
Background in startups, healthcare, technology, finance or complex operational environments.
Finance-focused Executive Assistant support for Finance C-suite leaders (like a CFO) and Vice Presidents.
Applicants must be based in the United States.
