About the role

The Role

Rubrik is looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to serve as a true strategic partner to our Chief Financial Officer. This is not a traditional administrative role. You will be a trusted advisor to the CFO who ensures our finance leadership operates at peak performance across a fast-moving, public-company environment.

We’re a high-growth cybersecurity company that moves quickly and thinks big. You’ll thrive here if you bring both the seasoned judgment of a senior EA and the entrepreneurial instinct to find a better way—whether that means adopting a new tool, redesigning a workflow, or anticipating a problem before it surfaces.

What You’ll Do

Calendar & Time Strategy

  • Architect the CFO’s weekly schedule with intention—protecting deep-work blocks, sequencing high-stakes meetings for optimal energy, and ensuring preparation materials arrive in advance.
  • Manage competing priorities across internal leadership, investor relations, board, and finance operations with sound judgment about what gets the CFO’s time and what doesn’t.
  • Provide calendar management and travel coordination for the CFO's direct reports as needed, ensuring alignment across the finance leadership team.

Investor & Board Operations

  • Coordinate end-to-end preparation for Quarterly Earnings cycles and Board of Directors / Audit Committee meetings partnering with Investor Relations, Finance and Legal to ensure all logistics and materials are seamless.
  • Plan and execute multi-city investor meetings and local visits with flawless attention to logistics, timing, and the finance leadership team’s on-the-ground needs.

Operational Excellence

  • Own the “zero-error zone”: manage complex expense structures,  and ensure every detail is accounted for before it reaches the CFO’s desk.
  • Proactively identify and implement tools and process improvements—including AI and automation—that streamline executive workflows and boost team efficiency.
  • Lead special projects such as global finance team offsites, departmental tool rollouts, and cross-functional initiatives.

Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the CFO’s gatekeeper and gateway—managing access with emotional intelligence so that even when the answer is “not now,” stakeholders feel heard and respected.
  • Navigate sensitive financial conversations and pre-public information with absolute discretion and professionalism.

Who You Are

  • A steady hand and a calming influence. You are known for your high emotional intelligence and unflappable nature. In high-pressure situations or fast-moving environments, you remain composed, professional, and solution-oriented, ensuring a low-friction and collaborative experience for everyone you interact with. 
  • A seasoned professional with deep executive-support expertise who also brings a builder’s mindset—you don’t just maintain systems, you improve them.
  • Hyper-proactive. You solve problems before the CFO knows they exist. If a flight is delayed, you’ve already rebooked it and shifted the afternoon calendar before the notification hits their phone.
  • Financially fluent. You don’t need to be a CPA, but you understand the rhythm of finance— why Earnings Week is a blackout zone, and how budget planning cycles drive executive attention.
  • Tech-forward and adaptable. You use Slack like a pro, navigate ERP and expense systems with ease, and you’re comfortable leveraging AI and automation tools to work smarter.
  • An anchor during context switches. The CFO might move from a board discussion to a tax audit to a sensitive 1:1 in the span of an hour. You help them transition seamlessly without losing momentum.
  • Discreet and trustworthy. You’ll have access to material non-public information. Your integrity and judgment are non-negotiable.

Requirements

  • Hybrid Onsite/Remote
  • 8+ years of experience supporting C-Suite executives, ideally in a high-growth technology, SaaS, or cybersecurity environment.
  • Demonstrated experience in a public-company setting or supporting executives through an IPO or rapid-scale phase.
  • Expert-level proficiency
