Executive Assistant

Optiver is looking for an Executive Assistant to join our Travel, Events, and Leadership Office (TELO) team. At its core, this is an Executive Assistant role—supporting senior leaders operating at the highest levels of the firm and creating the conditions that allow them to stay focused on what only they can do.

Reporting to the Head of Travel, Events, and Leadership Office, you’ll provide high-touch, proactive support to executives managing global portfolios, driving critical decisions, and representing Optiver across markets and geographies. You’ll anticipate needs, navigate complex priorities, exercise sound judgment, and bring structure and momentum to fast-moving days.

Just as importantly, you’ll be a culture carrier for our Austin office. As a highly visible and connected member of the team, you’ll help set the tone for how people experience Optiver every day—building relationships, bringing energy to the office, and finding thoughtful ways to strengthen connection and community. Culture isn’t a separate responsibility in this role; it’s embedded in how you support your executives, collaborate with teams, and show up for the office.

You’ll bring startup energy and a builder’s mindset while delivering the discretion, polish, operational excellence, and attention to detail expected at Optiver. The best person for this role will take pride in exceptional executive support while naturally making the people and environment around them better.
