Job Overview
- Job type: Full time/ Part time
- Work setting: Work from home
- Location: Remote (Worldwide)
- Salary: $95,000 – $195,000 USD
- Employer: Automattic
Responsibilities
- Partner with Matt and the Wranglers team as a trusted, behind-the-scenes operator.
- Triage priorities, block distractions, and quietly make things run seamlessly—calendars, communications, last-minute travel, meetings, and project logistics.
- Own the unexpected: anticipate needs, handle urgent issues, and exercise judgment under pressure and competing priorities.
- Interface with high-profile partners, board members, and execs worldwide—always with professionalism and discretion.
- Go deep on research, prep, and follow-up for meetings—filling gaps before anyone even notices they exist.
- Spot inefficiencies and invent better ways—whether refining workflows, improvizing travel hacks, or organizing information in a cleaner system.
- Support and challenge the team, offering and receiving candor, humor, and practical support daily.
Who Thrives Here
- Scrappy and resourceful: You’ve supported high-caliber execs in ambiguous, ever-changing organizations (startups, tech, remote environments a plus).
- Radically humble: Ego-free, unflappable, and as happy in the background as you are at the center of the action.
- Extreme ownership: If it needs to be done, you do it—no matter how big or small.
- Ultra-reliable: Your word is gold; when you’re on it, it’s handled.
- Curious and quick: You have an insatiable appetite for learning—especially about how new technologies, such as AI, can enhance your team’s effectiveness. You experiment, tinker, and share new discoveries.
- Worldly: Comfortable collaborating globally, working irregular hours, and with people from diverse backgrounds.
- Emotionally acute: You read the room, deliver news sensitively, and can spot stress (and bring perspective) before it derails anyone.
What This Isn’t
- Not for clock-punchers or ladder-climbers.
- Not a backstage pass to personal brand-building.
- Not for those seeking a rigid structure or a mandated task list.
Location & Benefits
- Remote-first, global: Work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, but our ideal candidate is based in the West Coast US or APAC time zones to best support the team’s needs.
- Flexibility is key: sometimes random hours—Matt is always moving!
- World-class benefits: Open vacation, parental leave, wellness support, sabbaticals, and true work-life flexibility.
