About the role

• We're hiring an Executive Assistant to the CEO to keep the CEO focused on Duolingo's highest priorities and ensure their days run smoothly.
• You'll lead complex calendar stewardship, coordinate mission-critical logistics, and partner closely with the Office of the CEO to create clarity, flow, and follow-through across internal and external engagements.
• This is an in-person role with regular collaboration across executive leaders and EAs.

🧠 You will...

• Own end-to-end calendar management for the CEO, prioritizing time against company goals, stakeholder needs, and leadership cadences; proactively resolve conflicts and protect prep, travel, and deep-work windows.
• Partner closely with the Chief of Staff, Head of Office of the CEO, and other EAs to ensure the CEO's schedule reflects strategic priorities and that handoffs are seamless.
• Plan and manage detailed domestic and international travel, including itineraries, and logistics for board meetings, off-sites, and external appearances.
• Build lightweight systems and documentation that improve executive workflows; use modern productivity tools and AI to increase speed, quality, and reliability.
• Serve as a high-judgment point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, maintaining confidentiality and representing the CEO's office with professionalism.

✅ You have...

• 10+ years of progressive experience directly supporting senior executives, with the majority of your career spent in an Executive Assistant or comparable executive support role. Experience supporting a CEO or C-suite executive in a fast-paced, complex organization is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated excellence in high-volume calendar orchestration, logistics, and meeting readiness, with a track record of anticipating needs and solving problems proactively.
• Outstanding organization and written/verbal communication skills; you keep details tight, documentation clear, and stakeholders aligned.
• Unshakeable discretion and judgment; calm, focused execution under pressure; and a service mindset that helps leaders operate at their best.
• Comfort collaborating across senior leadership and cross-functional teams, and working in person with the Office of the CEO and other EAs.
• Proficiency with modern productivity and collaboration tools (G Suite, Slack, Zoom, Mac) and an interest in leveraging AI to streamline workflows.

⭐ Exceptional candidates will have...

• 10+ years supporting CEOs in high-growth or complex organizations.
• Experience coordinating board meetings, leadership off-sites, and major external engagements across time zones.
• Prior partnership with a Chief of Staff and/or Office of the CEO team to align executive time with strategic priorities.
• Experience using generative AI and automation in an EA context to improve speed and quality of deliverables.
• Experience collaborating closely with a broader Executive Operations or People function.

• The offered salary is dependent upon several factors, including work experience, skills, and internal peer comparisons.
• The posted range is subject to change in the future.
• For this role, base salary is supplemented by equity compensation.
