The Role

Monarch is a fast-growing company building a differentiated product at the intersection of personal finance and AI. We're looking for an Executive Business Partner to be the operational backbone for our three co-founders. You'll build a genuine partnership with each founder, learn how they think and operate, and help them strategically manage their time and priorities as the company scales. We need someone who can keep up, push back, and bring full ownership to the role. This is high-visibility, high-variety work. You'll step into a role with some infrastructure in place, lots yet to be built, a structured transition, and a team that values the craft of executive partnership. The complexity grows with the company, and so does your impact.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to meet you:

• Takes pride in the craft of executive partnership and sees it as the thing making leadership effective, not an administrative function
• Calibrates naturally to different executives with different styles and needs, and figures out what each person needs without being told
• Anticipates over reacts. If something is about to fall through the cracks, you've already caught it, handled it, or flagged it
• Comfortable pushing back when it matters. Telling a founder 'this isn't the best use of your time' requires trust, and you know how to build it

• Energized by complexity. Shifting priorities, competing demands, and ambiguity are where you do your best work

What You’ll Do

• Keep the founders focused on the highest-leverage work. Own end-to-end calendar management for three co-founders, each with a distinct operating rhythm. Exercise independent judgment on prioritization, conflicts, and time protection.
• Ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Triage founder communications, route cross-functional requests, and maintain systems for tracking commitments, action items, and follow-ups. Know when to handle, route, or escalate without being told.
• Set founders up to walk into every room prepared. Own prep for board meetings, investor conversations, offsites, and leadership events end to end. Agendas, materials, briefing context, logistics.
• Manage key relationships and correspondence on behalf of the founding team. Outreach, thank-you notes, proactive contact management.

• Build and refine your own workflows using AI. You'll join a team running on AI tools daily. We expect you to use AI to accelerate your work and continuously raise your own bar.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant or Executive Business Partner supporting C-suite or founder-level executives
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple founder calendars simultaneously
• Proven ability to operate with high autonomy and handle sensitive information with discretion
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to draft in someone else's voice and edit to a high standard
• Ability to influence behavior across the organization without formal authority
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Self-motivated and proactive; formulates recommendations and drives toward executing them without waiting to be directed
• Experience within a high-growth startup environment, preferably in B2C or SaaS

• Demonstrated AI fluency: you use AI regularly in your work, have a clear point of view on where it helps and where it does not, and are continuously raising your own bar

Nice to Haves

• Experience supporting a founding team across multiple executives simultaneously
• Background in fintech, personal finance, or consumer subscription
• Familiarity with Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, Linear
• Experience supporting founders through high-stakes external moments such as fundraising, board preparation, or press

• Experience setting up executive support systems and processes from scratch and making existing ones your own
