Position: Executive Assistant to the CEO
Job Description
Bluewater provides comprehensive and innovative solutions for managing the lifecycle of large format batteries and solar panels. As a startup committed to further developing a circular economy, we innovate in the reuse, recycling, and resale of EV, e-mobility, material handling equipment, and energy storage technologies to promote sustainability and resource efficiency. We're on an exciting mission to reduce inefficiencies and enable a secondary marketplace for renewable energy equipment, and we're doing it in an emerging segment of renewable energy where strong operators can set the standard for growth and innovation.

Bluewater is seeking a sharp, proactive, and highly organized Executive Assistant to work directly with the CEO and operate at the center of a fast-growing startup. This is more than a traditional support role; it's an opportunity to become a trusted partner to the CEO, help manage priorities, execute key initiatives, and keep the business moving forward every day. This role is ideal for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who thrives in a fast-paced environment, anticipates needs before they arise, and wants real exposure to how a company is built.

You'll gain firsthand experience across operations, leadership, deals, and strategy, while also overseeing the day-to-day operations of the office.

If you're curious, highly motivated, detail-oriented, and energized by startups, this role will stretch you in the best way.
