Executive Assistant

At Mudflap, we're modernizing the $1 trillion trucking industry, the backbone of the U.S. economy. By helping over 100,000 underserved small businesses save over $1.5 billion on fuel, Mudflap has quickly grown into a profitable fintech platform that processes billions in annual payment volume.

As our Executive Assistant, you’ll be the operational backbone for our co-founders and a key partner to the broader executive team. You’ll develop a deep understanding of how our leaders work, what matters most to the business, and where your judgment can create the greatest leverage.

• Part calendar strategist—you’ll develop a point of view on how executive time should be spent and make thoughtful tradeoffs to protect it.

• Part systems builder—you’ll design the workflows, tools, and operating rhythms that keep priorities organized and moving.

• Part communications operator—you’ll synthesize information, direct attention to what matters, and help executives communicate clearly and effectively.

• Part problem solver—you’ll spot gaps, anticipate needs, and take action without waiting to be asked.

• Mudflap moves fast. We value urgency, ownership, resourcefulness, and people who step beyond their job descriptions to help the company win. If you treat upward management as a craft and get genuine energy from making ambitious leaders more effective, this role is for you.

• 3+ years of experience in executive support, administrative coordination, or a similar fast-paced role. We care more about the complexity and impact of your work than a specific number of years.

• Startup experience and prior support of founders or C-level executives strongly preferred.

• Upward management as a craft—you anticipate what leaders need, keep them organized and accountable, and make them more effective without creating unnecessary overhead.

• Excellent written communication, including the ability to synthesize complex information and write clearly in someone else’s voice.

• Strong systems thinking and a track record of improving processes, workflows, and tools.

• Sharp prioritization instincts, exceptional judgment, and the ability to hold significant context while making decisions independently.

• Presence, composure, and discretion that allow you to earn trust quickly and remain effective under pressure.

• Genuine enthusiasm for AI and demonstrated ability to use technology to work faster and more effectively.

• Fluency with Claude, Google Workspace, Slack, and Ramp, or the ability to become highly proficient quickly.

This environment will not be right for everyone. The right person will be energized by high expectations, close partnership with our co-founders, and the opportunity to help build a company with significant long-term potential.

Mudflap is on a mission to transform trucking and logistics by leveling the playing field for owner-operators and small fleets. Backed by QED, Matrix Partners, Commerce Ventures, NFX, and 500 Startups—and recognized on the Forbes Fintech 50—our team brings experience from Disney, Uber, Procore, DoorDash, Google, Meta, Capital One, Affirm, and Brex.

Here are the core values that we believe in and look for in new teammates:

• Be Customer Obsessed: We deeply understand customer needs and put our customers at the center of everything we do

• Make it Count: Act like an owner by focusing on the impact of your work

• Find a Way: Be a creative problem solver who pushes past roadblocks to win for our customers and our teammates

• Sweat the Details: We keep our standards high and achieve them by paying attention to every detail

• Be Curious: Use a growth mindset to question assumptions, take calculated risks and stretch the boundaries of what’s possible
