Executive Assistant to the CEO

About Us

We empower growing businesses by making access to capital easy.

The inspiration for Slope came from Lawrence’s parents having spent the past three decades in the wholesale business, importing products and selling them to small businesses across Brazil. From having worked with them, we realized small mom-and-pop stores are limited by their working capital and that business loans are complicated to navigate.

At Slope (YC S21), we are building Buy Now, Pay Later for B2B businesses. We enable any business to pay with installments at checkout. Buy Now, Pay Later is the foundation to rebuilding the messy cross-border B2B payments infrastructure — our vision is to be Stripe for global B2B.

We’re looking for an experienced, extremely detail-oriented administrative professional in a high-visibility role, who will work closely with our founders. Our Executive Assistant to the CEO will provide administrative and operational support to our CEO. This role involves heavy collaboration with the founders. This role focuses on administrative support, external event coordination, project management, and operations.

✨ Why work with us?

• You will get the chance to be an early team member at a fast-growth YC startup. We truly believe that it’s slope — not where you start but how fast we are growing and iterating.
• We are growing insanely fast (37x since launching 3 months ago) and well-funded ($8M at $57M valuation pre-launch from Global Founders Capital and the founders of Dropbox, Doordash, Opendoor, Plaid, Mercury, Pilot, Plangrid, etc.). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join our rocketship at an inflection point!
• We’re a tight-knit, intense team, where you'll learn a ton and have ownership.
• Work with seasoned second-time founders.
• Help small underdog business owners thrive and compete against large corporations.
