Pagaya is a global technology company building an artificial intelligence network that helps partners grow their businesses and better serve their customers. Using machine learning, a vast data network, and a sophisticated AI-driven approach, Pagaya provides consumer credit and residential real estate solutions for partners, customers, and investors.

We are seeking a skilled, adaptable, and service-oriented Executive Assistant to support the President’s office. Reporting to the Chief of Staff, this high-impact role will focus primarily on business-facing executive support while collaborating closely with the President, Chief of Staff, broader support team, and department leaders.

This senior-level role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, maintains a positive attitude, and can smoothly shift between executive responsibilities, strategic thought partnership, and occasional hands-on personal support. The position requires speed, range, discretion, and a collaborative no-ego mindset.

The compensation range for New York-based hires is $120,000 to $145,000 USD, commensurate with experience. This role is based in Pagaya’s midtown New York City office five days per week.

• Experience: 7+ years of experience supporting senior executives or working on an executive assistant team with high standards. Experience in financial services or a mature Fintech/PE firm is preferred.
• Organizational Rigor: Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to juggle multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Communication & Presence: Clear, professional written and verbal communication, with the ability to effectively represent the Office of the President.
• Judgment & Discretion: High degree of integrity, ability to handle sensitive information, and consistent professionalism.
• Collaboration: Proven ability to work collaboratively in a small, high-performing team with a no-ego approach.
• Adaptability: High flexibility to handle curveballs and smoothly shift between business-facing executive assistant work and occasional personal tasks.
• Commitment & Hours: Willingness to work from the midtown NYC office five days per week, with flexibility for extended hours and weekend check-ins during peak periods.

• Executive Support & Inbox Management: Provide proactive executive support, including strategic calendar management, complex inbox management, meeting preparation, and follow-ups.
• Strategic Thought Partnership: Take actionable meeting notes and serve as a true thought partner by thinking while doing rather than relying solely on execution.
• Logistics & Travel: Coordinate domestic and international travel logistics, including agendas, accommodations, and on-the-ground details.
• Meeting & Board Preparation: Organize briefing documents, presentations, and key materials for internal and external meetings to a highly polished standard.
• Team Alignment: Partner with the President, Chief of Staff, Personal Assistant, and cross-functional partners to align business and personal calendars.
• Service-Oriented Support: Provide light personal support when needed, including travel changes, errands, serving lunch or tea when the Personal Assistant is unavailable, and vendor coordination.
• Action Tracking & Proactivity: Track action items, ensure timely follow-up with internal and external stakeholders, and anticipate needs by proposing solutions proactively.
• On-Site Agility: Provide dynamic on-site support, occasionally carrying bags, laptops, iPads, or papers and moving frequently around the office.
• Special Projects: Drive special projects and operational initiatives for the Office of the President, including offsites, board preparation, and external relationship coordination.
