About this role

The U.S. mortgage market is a $14 trillion pillar of the economy — and much of it still runs on fax machines, overnight shipping, and manual workflows. Snapdocs is changing that. Our platform currently powers 20% of all real estate closings in the country, and we’re just getting started.

We design workflow software and AI-driven automation that connects lenders, settlement teams, notaries, and investors — eliminating friction, reducing risk, and delivering a faster, simpler closing for every borrower. Our customers range from the largest mortgage lenders to independent title companies. They trust us because we solve real operational pain with empathy, rigor, and reliability.

We’re backed by Sequoia, Y Combinator, and F-Prime, and we’re building for the long term.

The RoleSupporting leaders across our GTM function, you’ll operate at the intersection of revenue, customers, regulators, partners, and internal teams. Their calendars are dense, priorities shift quickly, and time is one of the most constrained resources in the company.

Your role is to protect, optimize, and strategically deploy that time, while acting as a force multiplier across logistics, workflows, and decision-making. You’ll operate with high autonomy, anticipate needs before they’re stated, and design systems that reduce friction for both executives and the broader Senior Leadership Team (‘SLT’). This is a demanding role, but you’ll be closely partnered with experienced leaders and the Executive Support Manager, with strong context, trust and space to operate independently, with the expectation to lead within your lane. If you wait for instructions, this role will feel overwhelming. If you anticipate problems, make judgment calls, and operate as a true partner, you’ll thrive.

What You’ll DoStrategic Calendar & Time Management

Own and actively manage complex, high-volume executive calendars with overlapping priorities

Make daily judgment-based tradeoffs: what moves, what doesn’t, and what should never have been scheduled

Anticipate crunch points (travel, board meetings, conferences, deal cycles, regulatory moments) and proactively rebalance time

Prepare executives for meetings with clear context, materials, stakeholders, and desired outcomes

Act as a gatekeeper — confidently say “no” on behalf of leaders when needed, and know when to escalate vs. decide independently

Complex Travel & Logistics

Coordinate frequent domestic travel end-to-end, including contingencies and real-time adjustments

Build realistic schedules that strategically sequence meetings and events, account for preparation, fatigue, and recovery, and ensure the right stakeholders are engaged at the right time — not just availability

Shield leaders from disruption when plans change by owning the details

Event Planning

Own end-to-end planning and execution for team offsites and partner in select company-wide events, including budgets, timelines, vendors and onsite logistics

Partner cross-functionally with leaders, their teams, and internal stakeholders to ensure events and agenda are well-sequenced, aligned to priorities, and run smoothly

Capture learnings to continuously improve how offsites and events are executed

Operational Ownership

Fully own expenses, reimbursements, invoices, and administrative workflows without reminders

Handle document prep, slide updates, meeting notes, and follow-ups with clarity and efficiency

Track action items from key meetings and proactively drive follow-through so work doesn’t stall

Executive Partner & Systems Builder

Act as a trusted thought partner on prioritization, workflow, and operating rhythm

Partner closely with the Executive Support Manager to help design and evolve systems that improve SLT effectiveness

Identify patterns, risks, and inefficiencies across calendars, meetings, and workflows

Exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive business, revenue, and regulatory information

What We’re Looking ForMust-Haves

6+ years supporting senior leaders (VP+), ideally in fast-paced SaaS, fintech, or regulated environments

Proven ability to support multiple executives simultaneously in high-stakes, ambiguous settings

Exceptional calendar strategy skills: prioritization, time optimization, and judgment (not just scheduling)

Clear, confident and proactive written and verbal communicator who can influence without authority and represent leaders well

Strong judgment, business acumen and comfort making decisions with incomplete information

Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels

Strong systems and process mindset, experience in building repeatable workflows, cadences, and meeting hygiene

Experience owning team offsites and executive events from end-to-end

Nice-to-Haves

Experience supporting revenue, go-to-market, or regulatory leaders

Familiarity with Google Workspace, Slack, Ramp, and Zoom

Experience supporting executives who travel frequently and operate across different time zones

How You’ll Be MeasuredExecutives feel less reactive and more focused

Calendars reflect true priorities and business cadence

Travel, logistics, and admin “just work” with minimal executive involvement

Leaders trust you to represent them, make calls, and keep work moving forward

The SLT operates with greater clarity, efficiency, and rhythm as a result of your systems
