Executive Assistant to the CEO (Remote)

Spread the love

We heard you might be looking for a new opportunity! Cartloop might be the perfect stop for you.

Cartloop is a conversational commerce startup that’s changing the way businesses and people interact. We are enabling brands to grow by scaling 1:1 conversations without increasing the headcount.

The coolest thing is we are growing quickly and possibly have the perfect position for you.

Team and culture

Here are some of our core values to give you a sense of who we are as a team:

  • Ownership. We build, we celebrate and we take responsibility even when things don’t pan out.
  • Set the pace. We move fast, take risks, and chase big outcomes wherever possible. We’re creating an environment where we can act fearlessly, a consensus isn’t needed for every action, and experimentation and failure (plus learning) are key.
  • Autonomy. We unblock ourselves, focus on solutions and work towards our goals.
  • Honor execution. Fewer meetings, less of the stuff things that don’t make an impact, more action. Move fast and focus on execution instead of talking
  • Continuous feedback. We are open to feedback and make a habit of sharing feedback with others. Writing > talking. We’re creating a culture where people can do their best critical thinking and use data to solve problems.
