Executive Assistant II

Application close date:

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!  

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

Be the Force Behind the Flight

Our mission is bold: millions of people living and working in space.
We believe that achieving this mission takes more than engineers and astronauts — it takes operational excellence, trust, and world-class executive support.

We’re seeking an experienced, mission-driven Executive Assistant who thrives in complexity, anticipates what’s needed before it’s asked, and moves with discretion, urgency, and precision. Whether or not you come from aerospace, if you’re a top-tier EA who feels called to be part of something bigger, this is your launchpad.

Why This Role Matters

This is not your typical administrative position. As Executive Assistant to senior leaders developing spaceflight vehicles, you’ll be embedded at the heart of decision-making — coordinating across engineering, safety, operations, and people teams to ensure our leaders stay focused, informed, and supported.

Your impact will ripple across every mission milestone.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll become an extension of our leadership team, trusted with sensitive information, complex logistics, and mission-critical communication. Your responsibilities will include:

Executive Partnership

• Serve as a thought partner and operational right hand to senior executives
• Maintain situational awareness of leadership priorities, anticipating needs and proactively managing shifting demands
• Build trusted relationships across internal teams and external partners

Calendar & Scheduling Excellence

• Manage complex, high-volume calendars across time zones
• Coordinate internal and external meetings with precision, optimizing for priority, flow, and flexibility
• Act as gatekeeper and gateway — balancing access with focus time

Travel & Logistics

• Coordinate detailed domestic and international travel: flights, accommodations, ground transportation, meeting prep, and contingency planning
• Manage pre-travel briefing materials and ensure executives are always one step ahead
• Submit timely, accurate expense reports aligned with internal policy

Communication & Confidentiality

• Draft, edit, and manage correspondence on behalf of senior leaders — maintaining tone, clarity, and context
• Act as a liaison across departments and with internal and external partners, managing sensitive communications with discretion
• Handle confidential information and decisions with integrity and tact

Strategic Projects & Priorities

• Drive special projects from ideation to execution (e.g., hiring efforts, onboarding programs, team offsites, executive reporting)
• Help translate big-picture priorities into actionable steps and ensure follow-through
• Improve and evolve internal workflows, templates, and processes

Event Planning & Team Engagement

• Plan and execute key internal events including team offsites, technical milestone celebrations, executive reviews, and all-hands meetings
• Coordinate logistics, communications, guest management, and post-event follow-up
• Develop and lead team morale initiatives — from recognition programs and surprise appreciation moments to inclusive team-building events
• Partner with People/HR and site leadership to foster a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and mission-alignment
• Track event budgets, success metrics, and feedback to continually improve future experiences

What You Bring

We’re looking for a strong mix of experience, poise, and mission alignment:

• 5+ years supporting senior executives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments (startups, aerospace, tech, VC-backed firms, or similar)
• Demonstrated success operating with executive-level discretion, trust, and emotiona
