About the Role - Executive Assistant & Events Lead

Peak Energy is looking for an Executive Assistant & Events Lead. This is a dual-scope role: traditional executive assistant support for our C-suite, plus end-to-end ownership of every event Peak runs - internal and external. 

On the executive support side, you'll provide full coverage for two of our C-suite executives and split coverage across the rest of the executive team. Scheduling and travel are highly collaborative here, and we're looking for a strong career EA that wants to take on additional scope in leading Events for us.  

On the events side, you own the function. Every event Peak runs -offsites, factory milestones, culture events, board meetings, investor days, customer summits, factory tours, industry conferences - is yours to plan and execute. As Peak grows through Series B and the Sacramento factory launch, the events function will scale meaningfully. You'll build the playbook and own the execution. 

This role reports into our CEO and leads the execution of Peak's executive support and events functions.

• Prepare executives for meetings, board sessions, and customer/investor calls with agenda coordination, pre-reads, and follow-up tracking as needed. 

• Coordinate closely with the CEO on priorities and calendar strategy. 

• Support board meeting logistics: coordinating with investors, running pre-meeting prep, materials distribution, and on-site logistics. 

• Support executive-owned program reviews, business reviews, and cross-functional exec meetings as a strong set of hands. 

• Handle expenses, travel reconciliation, and executive administrative logistics. 

• Handle confidential and sensitive i
