Executive Assistant

Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.

At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.

Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.

We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.

As an Executive Assistant at Serval, you will act as a force multiplier for a member of our executive team. You will own scheduling complexity, coordinate logistics, streamline communication, and systematically remove operational friction so leadership can stay focused on the highest-impact priorities.

This role has direct leverage on executive effectiveness. The right candidate will materially increase execution velocity and ensure leaders remain focused on what matters most. This is not a reactive administrative position — it requires anticipation, sound judgment, prioritization discipline, and operational rigor.

You will gain visibility into company strategy, key initiatives, and growth decisions while playing a foundational role in scaling Serval's operations.
