You will serve as a high-leverage partner to the Founder, moving beyond traditional administrative tasks to own strategic prioritization, executive communication, and follow-through. Acting as a filter and amplifier, you will synthesize complex meetings into actionable steps, manage relationship pipelines, and support investment research to maximize the Founder’s impact within the crypto ecosystem.
Senior Executive Assistant at 1kx Ventures
1kx Ventures, a leading NYC-based crypto venture firm that has backed 150+ startups since 2018, is seeking a Senior Executive Assistant to act as a strategic force multiplier for their Founder.

Who this is a fit for
- Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to capture an executive voice and synthesize technical or financial information clearly.
- Proven background in investment, finance, or capital markets, ideally with exposure to or a strong interest in the crypto/Web3 space.
- High degree of autonomy and judgment, capable of operating effectively in the fast-moving and often ambiguous environment of early-stage venture.
Why this role is remarkable
- Direct partnership with a founding partner at a premier crypto VC firm, offering high visibility and ownership from day one.
- Opportunity to move beyond a traditional EA track into a strategic role that acts as a true extension of executive leadership.
