Executive Assistant

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.

Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech.

We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI.

Protege is hiring an Executive Assistant to support multiple executives and create leverage across a fast-moving, cross-functional environment. This role sits close to company leadership and requires exceptional judgment, communication, discretion, and the ability to keep priorities moving when the operating context changes quickly.

The right person has experience in early-stage, hypergrowth, fast-paced, and high-pressure environments. They are equally strong in communicating in person and in writing, can work diplomatically with a wide range of personalities, and manage sensitive information with a high degree of confidentiality.

This role is for someone who can support multiple executives without losing context, create clarity across competing priorities, and remain calm and effective when plans shift.
