Executive Assistant, Engineering

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.

The problems are high‑stakes, data‑dense, and unforgiving. We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept and care less about where you trained than what you’ve built. At the company, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.

The median customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without us. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.

This role is based in our New York office in Chelsea. We default to being in the office at least three days a week.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with the Chief of Staff to the CTO to support Engineering leadership across a large, multi‑team organization
• Own complex calendar management across multiple Engineering executives, with a strong instinct for protecting time and enabling deep work
• Act as a connective layer across technical programs, tracking deliverables, flagging gaps, and keeping leadership informed without adding overhead
• Actively coach and orient engineering leaders new to working with EA support, helping them build the habits and structures that make the partnership work
• Establish clear operating norms with each leader you support: how to delegate, what to hand off, and how to communicate so nothing falls through the cracks
• Coordinate recruiting logistics, candidate pipelines, and interview schedules across high‑volume engineering hiring
• Support planning and execution of engineering offsites, all‑hands, team events, and leadership working sessions
• Draft and manage communications on behalf of executives, including technical team updates and cross‑functional alignment

• Serve as backup EA support to the CTO when primary coverage is unavailable

What You Need

• Confidence and credibility to work with first‑time leaders – you know how to educate upward and shape a working relationship, not just react to one
• Genuine curiosity about technology and software – you don't need to write code, but you should find it interesting and feel at home in technical conversations
• Proven ability to manage complex, high‑volume calendars across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities
• Strong project management instincts – you track what matters, surface the right things at the right time, and know when to push
• Sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive organizational, hiring, and technical information

• High EQ and the ability to build trust quickly with people who are skeptical of administrative overhead
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and taking full ownership without being asked
• Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, and modern collaboration tools
• Demonstrated use of AI, automation, or tooling to streamline work and create leverage
