Full Job Description
About Bespoke Labs
Bespoke Labs is an applied AI research lab pioneering data and RL environment curation for training and evaluating agents.
Recently, we curated Open Thoughts, one of the best open reasoning datasets used by multiple frontier labs, trained SOTA specialized models such as Bespoke-MiniChart-7B and Bespoke-MiniCheck, and taught agents to do multi-turn tool-calling with reinforcement learning.
Bespoke is uniquely positioned to capture a large market share of data and RL environment curation.
About the Role
We're looking for an Executive Assistant who can own the operational foundation of a fast-scaling AI startup. This isn't a traditional EA role: you'll be the person who ensures the executive team can focus on strategic aspects and building the future, while you handle everything that makes a company actually run.
As we scale from seed to Series A and beyond, you'll grow with us, potentially evolving into an Operations Manager or Chief of Staff role.
What You'll Own
Core responsibilities:
Coordinate CEO calendar and meetings
Process payroll and manage benefits administration
Set up new employees (Gmail, Slack, equipment, HR software)
Handle expense management (receipt uploads, vendor payments, subscriptions)
Manage business licenses and compliance filings
Material prep
What We're Looking For
2-4 years as an EA, operations coordinator, or office manager (startup experience strongly preferred)
You've handled payroll, benefits, or finance operations before
You build systems and processes, not just execute tasks
You're comfortable with ambiguity and can prioritize independently
Bonus: You've supported a founder through fundraising
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $80K+ depending on experience
Early-stage equity
Health, dental, vision insurance
Hybrid work in Mountain View. No remote applications.
