Cape is America’s privacy-first mobile carrier. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless. Cape was founded in 2022 by people who believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury to be traded away. Our journey began when our founder recognized a critical vulnerability in our modern world: everyone relies on the same stagnant cellular infrastructure and legacy systems that track our every movement, monitor and profile our connections, and lose and sell our personal data.

Instead of accepting the status quo, we decided to fix it. National security professionals, journalists, parents, and everyone in between can stay connected and have privacy.

We didn’t just build a layer on top of old tech; we built America’s most private and secure mobile carrier from the ground up. By building our own network from scratch, we are able to design and build a suite of privacy and security features that no other carrier on the planet can offer.

Today, Cape provides our secure network to consumers, businesses, and government agencies alike. We closed our Series C in March 2026, and we are scaling rapidly, with the goal of giving people back control of their most personal information.

At Cape, we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that is just getting started. We are relentless builders, constantly innovating at the edge of what's possible in telecommunications. We operate on a foundation of high trust and high expectations. Our structure is flat, and collaboration matters more than hierarchy. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with world-class engineers, architects, and visionaries, and work across organizational lines to solve "impossible" problems and deliver mission-critical results for our users every single day.

Cape is seeking a high-caliber Administrative Assistant to serve as a strategic "force multiplier" for our VP of Engineering. Your mission is to own the operational details that allow our leaders to stay focused on the big picture. You aren't just managing a calendar; you are managing the rhythm of the business, ensuring our team is in the right place, at the right time, with exactly what they need to succeed.

  • Strategic Calendar Command: You will transform the executive calendar into a curated roadmap, ensuring time is strictly allocated to Cape’s highest priorities while proactively resolving 100% of scheduling conflicts

  • Operational Velocity: You will reclaim hours of leadership’s weekly capacity by acting as a gatekeeper, problem solver, and a driver for ad-hoc special projects

  • Stakeholder Diplomacy: You will serve as a polished, professional point of contact for Cape’s internal teams and external customers, navigating high-stakes relationships with discretion and tact

  • Anticipatory Judgment: You don't wait for instructions. You see the domino effect of a delayed flight or a shifted meeting and have Plan B and C in motion before the executive even knows there’s a problem

  • Exceptional Communication: You have a diplomatic touch. You can say "no" to a request on behalf of leadership in a way that preserves the relationship and upholds Cape’s brand

  • High-Growth Agility: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You can pivot between a complex travel booking and a sensitive office project without losing your attention to detail

  • Initiative: A proactive attitude toward anticipating needs, taking action without being asked, and identifying opportunities to improve processes or efficiency

  • Interpersonal Skills: Strong ability to build positive working relationships, engage with team members, and work collaboratively across different levels of the organization

  • Adaptability: A willingness to go with the flow, pivot and adjust course as the needs of the business change

  • Minimum of 4 years in administrative support, personal support, or a relevant high-level coordinator role

  • Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize effectively, and maintain an orderly workflow to ensure smooth operations.

  • Proficiency in managing schedules, deadlines, and ensuring timely completion of tasks, especially in fast paced environments.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to interact effectively with team members and external stakeholders.

  • A meticulous approach to the details of the job.

  • Bonus Points: Experience supporting an Engineering team
