$85k – $105k • meaningful equity

Summary:

• Backed by some of the best in the game – Forerunner, YC, Lux, Soma, Paul Graham, Joe Montana, Innospark, the founders of Instacart and Dropbox, and many other top angels and funds
• Founders are recent Harvard grads with quant experience at Jane Street and BoA and years of experience as sharp sports bettors
• $300B annually bet on sports in the US and the size of the market is rapidly growing, particularly given the opportunity for operators to capitalize on the sweepstakes business model
• Currently the only way to bet is with retail sportsbooks, which have egregious margins, discriminatory and inefficient practices, and a stale betting experience
• Novig is a sports prediction market that guarantees users the best lines by allowing them to play directly against friends or the market, rather than against the house, making the sports trading experience more efficient, fair, and, most importantly, profitable

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a proactive, highly organized, and adaptable Executive Assistant to support our Founder & CEO in New York. In this role, you’ll be a force multiplier - bringing structure to complexity, creating clarity across competing priorities, and helping our CEO stay focused, connected, and effective. You’ll play a critical role in how leadership operates day to day and how the organization moves forward.

This is a full-time, in-office role based in New York, with occasional needs for responsiveness outside standard business hours.

• 3+ years of experience supporting a senior leader, ideally in a high-growth technology environment.
• Strong judgment and prioritization skills, with a clear sense of what truly deserves time and attention.
• Clear, thoughtful communication - you write with precision, follow up consistently, and share context with warmth and efficiency.
• Exceptional organizational and problem-solving abilities, paired with the creativity to find solutions even when resources are limited.
• Agility and composure - you adapt quickly, stay focused, and move forward when priorities shift.
• A collaborative, approachable style that builds trust and works seamlessly with peers, fellow EAs, and cross-functional partners.
• A natural feel for timing, structure, and empathy - knowing when to nudge, when to protect time, and when to bring the right people together.
• A proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership - you step in where needed and do what it takes to keep momentum moving.

What You’ll Do

• Own and orchestrate complex, fast-moving calendars by setting clear priorities, anticipating conflicts, and protecting time for focus, deep work, and leadership needs.
• Plan and execute team events, offsites, and critical on-site meetings in close partnership with cross-functional teams and external vendors.
• Proactively anticipate needs and manage dependencies to ensure schedules stay seamless and on track.
• Coordinate travel and oversee expense reporting with accuracy and efficiency.
• Build trusted, collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners across the organization.
• Exercise sound judgment and absolute discretion when handling sensitive information and communications.

Who is Novig?

At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.

Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.

As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.

How does Novig approach compensation?

We are big believers in providing excellent compensation to everyone on the team as we build.

• We offer salaries at the top of the benchmarks you’d find for senior roles at big name companies
• We provide equity to all employees regardless of role. We are looking for people who can grow with us as we scale our team and product, and we think it’s important for all employees, especially our first few teammates, to have significant equity in the company so you have skin in the game and our incentives are aligned.

What benefits does Novig offer?

We are embarking on an ambitious journey and are committed to providing generous benefits, even at this early stage.

• Robust health, dental, and vision plans, covering 100% of health premiums and 99% of dental and vision premiums
• Generous 401(k) plan, matching up to 4% of base salary
• Health Savings Account (HSA) with $1,080 annual company contributions
• $27/day food or commuter stipend when working in our NYC office
