We are looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented professional, with experience fostering strong relationships with executives, vendors, sponsors, and venues to ensure smooth collaboration and successful events.

Youll succeed at Timescale if you are scrappy and strive to get things done and are passionate about making every day interactions and events for employees and customers amazing and memorable!

Please note: This is a full-time, 6-month contract with the potential to transition into a permanent role.

While Timescale is a fully remote organization with team members across the globe, we have a preference for candidates based in NYC or SF for this role in the U.S., given the key stakeholders this position will support.

What you will be responsible for in this role:

Provide support to the CEO, including managing schedules, arranging meetings, handling correspondence, and prioritizing tasks.
Act as a liaison between the executive team and internal/external stakeholders, effectively managing communications and requests.
Plan, coordinate, and execute domestic and international company events, including team offsites, board meetings, and all-company gatherings, ensuring seamless logistics and engagement across locations.

Manage each event within budget constraints, prioritizing cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality or value.
Communicate event details and updates effectively to all stakeholders, including executives, employees, and external partners.
Oversee event promotion and communication to ensure maximum participation and engagement.
Handle confidential information with discretion and maintain the highest level of professionalism in all interactions.
Identify areas for improvement in event processes and implement enhancements to streamline workflows and increase efficiency.

You could be a great fit if you:

Have 5+ years of experience in executive assistance and event planning
Have supported a CEO or high-level executive at a growing tech start-up
You have planned on-site events for 50+ individuals requiring international travel, hotel accommodations, catering, etc.
Are proficient in all aspects of event planning, including budgeting, venue selection, vendor negotiation, logistics coordination, and post-event evaluation
Understand budgeting principles to create and manage event budgets effectively, monitor expenses, and ensure cost-control measures are in place.
Exhibit meticulous attention to detail and can effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, set timelines, allocate resources, and ensure timely delivery of results.
Possess strong organizational skills to manage calendars, schedules, emails, and other administrative tasks efficiently, with proficiency in office software such as Google Workspace.
Demonstrate strong interpersonal skills to build positive relationships with executives, colleagues, vendors, and other stakeholders, and can work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
Exhibit strong problem-solving abilities to anticipate potential issues, identify solutions, and resolve challenges that may arise before, during, or after events

You might not be a great fit if:

You’re not detail-oriented
You arent comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.
You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.
Youre not a self-starter who thrives on taking initiative and ownership.

Timescale offers a competitive compensation package, including a base salary and comprehensive benefits for all full-time contract employees. The estimated salary range for this role is $110,000 – $120,000.

These ranges may be modified in the future.
