Executive Assistant to the CEO & Founder
Boston Metro | Full-Time, In-Person
About Dumpling Daughter
Dumpling Daughter is more than a food brand — we’re a family-run company on a mission to bring authentic Chinese comfort food to tables across America. Founded by Nadia Liu Spellman, we’ve grown from a beloved local favorite into a nationally recognized brand. As we expand, we’re looking for a world-class Executive Assistant to help drive that growth alongside our CEO & Founder.
Why This Role Matters
This is not your average EA position. You’ll be working side-by-side with a visionary founder at the center of a fast-growing company. Your role is to be her right hand — anticipating needs, removing obstacles, and making sure she has the time and focus to scale the business. In return, you’ll gain a front-row seat to what it takes to build and grow a consumer brand, with opportunities to learn, stretch, and advance as the company continues to expand.
What You’ll Do
* Be the CEO’s Strategic Partner – Manage her calendar, inbox, and priorities with an eye for efficiency and impact.
* Master Logistics – Coordinate travel, meetings, and events, ensuring every detail runs smoothly.
* Keep Projects Moving – Track key initiatives, follow up with stakeholders, and organize details so nothing slips through the cracks.
* Communicate with Impact – Draft professional correspondence, serve as the first point of contact, and represent the CEO with polish and discretion.
* Provide Seamless Support – Handle administrative tasks and personal requests (e.g., reservations, ordering gifts), freeing the CEO to focus on big-picture growth.
Who You Are
* Extremely Organized – You thrive on structure, clarity, and making complex schedules look effortless.
* Proactive, Resourceful, and Great Common Sense – You don’t wait to be told; you anticipate, problem-solve, and execute.
* Clear & Confident Communicator – You can interact with everyone from vendors to investors with professionalism and ease.
* Tech-Savvy – Comfortable with Google Workspace, Slack, and productivity tools — and quick to pick up new ones.
* Trustworthy & Discreet – You handle sensitive business and personal information with absolute confidentiality.
* Entrepreneurial Spirit – You’re energized by fast-paced environments and see challenges as opportunities.
Preferred Experience
* 2+ years as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or Chief of Staff (startup or CPG experience a plus).
* Experience supporting founders, executives, or high-level business leaders and Restaurant Experience Valued.
* Track record of juggling multiple priorities under pressure with grace and calm.
* Personal Vehicle Required.
