Personal Assistant & Events - TechTable

4 hours ago•59 views

The Real Talk
Look, we're building something different here. TechTable is about creating genuine connections while being refreshingly transparent about the transactional nature of business networking. We need someone who can be my right hand—turning half-baked ideas into beautifully executed events, handling the logistics that would otherwise eat up my day, and keeping everything running like a well-oiled machine.
This is equal parts personal assistant and event coordinator. You'll help me focus on growing the network while you orchestrate dinners, charm tech execs, wrangle sponsors, and handle the million details that make or break an event. Think: strategic partner meets execution machine.
What You'll Actually Do
-Be my operational partner: Turn my ideas and vision into concrete action plans and executed events
-Free up my time: Handle scheduling, email management, research, and the administrative work that keeps me from growing the network
-Coordinate events end-to-end: From venue scouting to day-of execution—intimate dinners, private suites at Knicks games, you name it
-Manage sponsor relationships: Keep our partners happy and ensure they're delivering value to our members
-Screen and coordinate invites: Work with me and existing members to curate who joins (you're the velvet rope, but nice about it)
-Handle the chaos: Reservations, dietary restrictions, last-minute changes, travel logistics—you've got it covered
-Represent TechTable: Be on-site at events as the face of our brand, ensuring everything runs smoothly and execs are impressed
-Maintain our voice: Help with communications that balance professional and cheeky (if you enjoy writing smart emails, perfect)
Who You Are
-A true partner mindset—proactive, resourceful, and able to anticipate needs before they're asked
-Obsessively organized with attention to detail, but chill enough to roll with changes
-Excellent communicator—equally comfortable with CTOs, restaurant managers, and everyone in between
-Comfortable with ambiguity—you take vague ideas and turn them into concrete plans
-Self-directed—you don't need hand-holding, you need a mission and you run with it
-Tech-savvy—comfortable with tools, apps, and tech culture (you don't need to code)
-Polished and professional—you represent TechTable to senior execs, so you need to make us look good
-Available for evening events (our dinners don't happen at 2pm)
-Based in NYC and know the city (or eager to learn fast)
-Get our vibe—professional but not stuffy, exclusive but not pretentious
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
-Experience in executive assistance, chief of staff, or founder support roles
-Background in hospitality, events, or high-touch customer experience
-Connections in NYC's tech, startup, or dining scene
-Project management or operations experience
-A sense of humor about the absurdity of networking culture
What We Offer
-Competitive pay that reflects the NYC cost of living (we're transparent about money too)
-Flexible schedule—part-time or full-time based on mutual fit
-Access to incredible events and a network of impressive people
-Ground floor opportunity to help shape something new
-Work with a founder who respects your time and won't call you at 2am about seating charts
