• Role Details: Executive Assistant to Founder
• Role: Full-time
• Location: Bengaluru (Work from office)
• Work hours: Mon to Fri

About the Role :

You will be the Founder's right hand: protecting their time, driving follow-through, and keeping priorities moving. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role with a front-row seat to how a funded startup is built and run. It is ideal for someone who wants to grow into Chief of Staff or an operations leadership role.

What You'll Own :

• Calendar and time: Manage the Founder's schedule, protect focus time, and cut low-value meetings
• Inbox and communication: Triage email, draft replies and manage follow-ups on the Founder's behalf
• Meeting readiness: Prepare briefs, agendas and talking points, and track action items after every meeting
• Priority tracking: Follow up with leadership and teams to ensure the Founder's decisions are executed on time
• Investor and stakeholder coordination: Support board and investor meetings, updates, and data requests
• Projects and reporting: Run special projects, prepare decks and compile weekly/monthly dashboards
• Travel and logistics: Plan domestic and international travel, events and offsite meetings
• Confidential matters: Handle sensitive information with complete discretion

What We're Looking For :

• 5-10 years as an EA, Chief of Staff, or Founder's Office associate at a startup or high-growth company
• Excellent written and spoken English, with crisp, professional communication
• Strong judgment: knows what to escalate, what to handle and when to say no
• Proactive and takes ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for instructions
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure
• Proficient in Google Workspace, Slack, Notion or similar tools; comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) to work faster
• Integrity and discretion in handling confidential information
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and occasional extended hours across time zones
• Good to have: Experience supporting investor or board communication, exposure to a SaaS/remote-work or staffing business, basic understanding of finance or sales reporting.

Why Join Wishup :

• Direct access to the Founder and leadership, with real influence on decisions
• Rapid growth path
• A fast-moving culture with no micromanagement and no pointless meetings
• Competitive compensation, a performance review at 6 months, and learning opportunities
• Work with a modern, AI-first tool stack

What's in it for you:

• Performance-driven and transparent work culture.

- Enjoy a culture with opportunities for growth and learning.
