Executive Operations at Brex

The Executive Operations team is vital to company success, ensuring our leaders are supported, equipped for success, and focused on strategic goals. As strategic partners, Brex Executive Assistants provide critical support and contribute to projects that drive business priorities and strengthen team collaboration.

What You'll Do

As the Executive Assistant to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), you will provide comprehensive, high-leverage support to drive Brex's engineering strategy and next phase of growth. You will manage the day-to-day operations of the CTO's office, ensuring seamless communication, strong cross-functional alignment, and operational rigor across engineering.

You will be the steward of the CTO's time, managing complex calendars, prioritizing high-impact meetings, coordinating travel and executive engagements, and ensuring follow-through on critical initiatives. You will collaborate closely with engineering leaders and cross-functional partners to advance initiatives and ensure the CTO’s priorities are reflected across the organization.

In addition to core operational excellence, you will leverage AI tools to scale your impact and the CTO’s capacity. This involves more than just synthesizing notes and drafting communications; bring your excitement and curiosity for AI to automate workflows, support programs, and increase efficiencies across the department.

This role demands strong business judgment, exceptional organizational skills, genuine curiosity about technology and AI, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams with discretion and professionalism.
