About Away

We believe travel makes us better. Founded in 2016 with one perfectly designed carry-on, we now offer a range of luggage and travel essentials for every journey. Together we create, innovate, and embark on this journey as a community of travelers, helping to make travel more seamless for everyone.

Join The Crew

We are hiring an Executive Assistant to join our team. This position reports to the Chief of Staff and takes Away further by enabling our President—and the broader leadership team—to operate with clarity, efficiency, and impact. You'll manage the day-to-day rhythm of the Office of the CEO & President, support cross-functional alignment, and help drive key priorities forward in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment. This role is perfect for someone with sharp judgement, who thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is eager to grow into a broader transformational role.

What You’ll Do As The Executive Assistant

  • You’ll provide day-to-day administrative support to the President, including proactive calendar management, complex travel coordination, and expense tracking
  • You’ll coordinate Board of Directors and leadership team meeting scheduling, materials prep, and follow-ups
  • You’ll own the weekly leadership team meeting cadence, including agenda development, note-taking, and tracking action items to ensure completion
  • You’ll work closely with the Chief of Staff to manage workflows, balance priorities, and ensure the President’s time is aligned with the business’s most critical needs
  • You’ll support cross-functional visibility and alignment by maintaining leadership team calendars, shared tools, and recurring operating rhythms
  • You’ll document and evolve processes, templates, and SOPs that improve team efficiency, consistency, and accountability
  • You’ll support short-term operational projects and internal initiatives as needed, helping to bring structure and momentum to loosely defined efforts to make them more actionable
  • You’ll draft clear, effective communications and help prepare materials for team meetings, company All Hands, and board engagement


Who You Are

  • You have a minimum of 3 years of experience supporting senior leaders in administrative or operations roles; C-level exposure is strongly beneficial, but not required
  • You’re highly organized, detail-obsessed, and proactive—you understand when to act without needing direction, and when to clue in key stakeholders to ensure everyone is on the same page to bring critical work forward
  • You’re skilled in complex calendar and time management, with the ability to juggle competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • You’re a clear, confident, and professional communicator with the maturity to work across senior leaders, board members, and external partners
  • You’re a natural coordinator with strong follow-through, project management instincts, and comfort with ambiguity
  • You’re discreet, trustworthy, and professional—especially when handling sensitive and confidential information
  • You’re tech-savvy and experienced in hybrid work environments (Google Workspace, Slack, etc.)
  • You’re creative and innovative; you love to build great new things that are fresh and unique while staying on brand
  • You’re agile, and motivated by a fast-paced and ever changing environment
  • You’re passionate about transforming travel for all (but that’s a given!)


Excited to join the team, but not sure you meet all of the qualifications? Please apply, we’d still love to hear from you.
