Executive Assistant

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn't just focus on what's broken, but what we can do to fix it. We are a media network that showcases stories, voices, and opportunities for activism that inform, entertain, and inspire action, because it's up to all of us to do our part to build a better world.

Job Summary:

Crooked Media is seeking a highly organized and driven Executive Assistant to provide administrative support to the CEO and Crooked Founders, with additional support for other members of the Executive team. This position requires a high level of organization, attention to detail, flexibility and the ability to prioritize workload and multi-task in an environment that requires frequent change. The ideal candidate will be able to work independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written. You will be expected to maintain confidentiality and exhibit a high level of discretion and professionalism.

While Crooked has adopted a hybrid work model for our most staff. We know each role has different needs, and for the Executive Assistant, this role will be based in office, on-site in our Los Angeles office, with occasional evening work. We are ideally looking for Los Angeles based candidates, or candidates willing to relocate before the start date.
