Executive Assistant to the CEO and Founder - Hello Innovation

ABOUT US

Working at Hello Innovation is more than just a job. It’s an invitation to reinvent the world as we know it, to go against the grain of what’s possible and to rewrite the rules along the way. Every day we get up and challenge ourselves to solve problems that matter, the problems that impact billions and bring radical change and improvement to humankind.

This may sound like a crazy, lofty goal, but we came from nothing (no investors or debt) and for nearly two decades our products have touched hundreds of millions of people. We’ve proved that industries change, problems are solved and lives are improved when design, technology, and the unexpected collide. And we’re just getting started.

A career at HI isn’t for everyone. We’re an eclectic team of dreamers, creators and doers who are on a mission to bring meaningful innovation to the world. If you’re looking to be inspired, challenged and leave work every day knowing you did the best work of your life, you’ve come to the right place. 

ABOUT THE JOB

An Executive Assistant at HI is so much more than a glorified secretary…

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to work alongside our visionary CEO to help shape the future at one of Michigan's fastest-growing private companies.  We’re searching for an incredibly driven individual that’s hungry for the opportunity to learn, grow and make a real impact. 

Not only will you do whatever it takes to support our CEO’s daily activities and keep him focused on the work that matters, but you will also have direct responsibility for projects and initiatives that range from minor to world-changing. At the end of the day, we play to win and we’re on a straight-shot path to change the world with the products we create. As the Executive Assistant to our CEO, you get to ride shotgun through it all.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, predictable, super-structured role with a better work/life balance, this is NOT the job for you. But, if you’re ready to fast-track your career and uncover your passions by learning about all aspects of business, then keep reading...
