Employment Type

Full-time

Location: Pune (Walnut Schools – Head Office) | On-site

Reporting to: Founder & Co-Founder

CTC: ₹30,000 – ₹45,000/month (based on experience)

About the Role:

Walnut Schools is scaling fast, and the Founder's Office is where priorities get set and decisions get made. We're hiring an Executive Assistant who can take a half-formed instruction and turn it into a finished output — someone who tracks what matters across teams without being chased, and protects the Founder's time and attention like it's their own.

This is not a calendar-and-email role. It's a high-trust seat for someone who wants to work close to how a growing company actually runs.

What You'll Own:

1. Own the Founder's calendar, travel, and meeting cadence, prioritizing by judgment, not just by what's listed.

2. Sit in on key meetings, take sharp notes, and drive follow-ups to closure — chasing outcomes, not sending reminders.

3. Draft emails, decks, and documents polished enough to go out under the Founder's name with minimal edits.

4. Track cross-functional priorities and flag what's slipping before it becomes a problem.

5. Use AI tools as a working default, not an afterthought — e.g.,



drafting first passes of documents/emails with ChatGPT or Claude, using AI for meeting summarization, research, and scheduling/workflow automation. We want someone who already thinks "How can I use AI to think" before starting a task.

5. Handle sensitive business and personal information with complete discretion.

Who You Are:

1. A 0–3 years of experience — as an EA, Chief of Staff Associate, or in a similar high-ownership support role. Strong freshers with the right aptitude are welcome to apply.

2. Solid written English — you can produce a clean, structured email or MoM without hand-holding.

3. Comfortable with ambiguity — you start moving before a task is fully defined.

4. High ownership — you follow through until something is actually done.

5. Genuinely comfortable working with AI tools daily (not just "used ChatGPT once") — able to speak to specific ways you've used AI to move faster or better.

6. Proficient in MS Office / Google Workspace; picks up new tools quickly.

Good to Have:

1. Prior experience in a founder's office, chief-of-staff function, or high-growth startup.

2. Exposure to the education/ed-tech sector.
