BridgeUSA was founded with a mission to foster constructive dialogue and bridge political divides, empowering the next generation to lead with empathy and understanding. We are a high-impact organization committed to scaling our reach and ensuring that executive priorities drive meaningful change across the country.
At BridgeUSA, we are innovative, driven, and willing to go the extra mile. Our team operates with a "right hand" mentality—supporting each other professionally to ensure our ambitious goals are met. We listen first, build with empathy, and remain committed to solving problems that have a meaningful impact on our mission.
To help achieve our growth goals, we are hiring a Special Assistant to the CEO. This is a "force multiplier" role designed for an ambitious problem-solver eager to optimize the CEO’s time and gain high-level experience in organizational execution.
The person who succeeds in this role will:
- Think and operate like a business partner, ensuring the CEO's schedule is linked directly to fundraising and partnership goals.
- Have a competitive mindset, energized by the challenge of balancing high-accountability execution with rapid organizational growth.
Responsibilities
- Executive Optimization: Own the CEO’s calendar and manage the administrative rhythm of the office to prioritize fundraising and partnership goals.
- Meeting Governance: Attend executive and board meetings to capture action items and manage the "follow-through" process.
- Information Triage: Manage incoming communications and draft high-level correspondence to maintain momentum with external stakeholders.
- Strategic Infrastructure: Lead "Priority One" special projects.
- Proxy Support: Act as the CEO’s proxy to ensure priority recommendations are executed and internal bottlenecks are proactively resolved.
- CEO Preparation: Brief the CEO ahead of all major external engagements with bios, strategic goals, and relevant data.

- Alignment with BridgeUSA culture and values.
Requirements
- Experience: 1–3 years in a fast-paced environment (startups, campaigns, or high-level leadership) with a focus on building lightweight processes.
- Self-Starter Mindset: A bias toward action and ownership; someone who researches and solves technical hurdles independently.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills, with the ability to mimic the CEO’s "voice" and build trust with board members and donors.
- Technical Proficiency: Ability to quickly master CRM tools, project management software (Asana/Notion), and G-Suite.
- Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment while managing multiple priorities.
- Systems-Oriented: A drive to build systems that scale, ensuring tasks do not have to be repeated manually.
