Location: Cincinnati (hybrid)
Reports to: CEO, with occasional support to the COO and executive team
Experience: 5+ years in executive support, sales support, client relations, or a similar role

The Role
At BrandRank, growth and relationships are inseparable. Winning customers, earning renewals, activating investors, and creating advocates all depend on the same habits: knowing who matters, showing up prepared, following up fast, listening to customers, and recognizing the moment for a personal touch.
Our CEO is highly relationship-driven and active across customers, prospects, investors, partners, and industry events. This role brings structure to all of it, so important opportunities keep moving, customer relationships stay warm, and valuable connections never get lost in a crowded calendar or inbox.
This is not a passive administrative role. It's executive support with a commercial edge.

The mission: give the CEO and leadership team more leverage, keep important opportunities and relationships moving, and make sure the right things happen at the right time.

What You'll Do

Run the CEO's operating rhythm

• Own the calendar with urgency and judgment, protecting time for what matters most.
• Manage email, commitments, and follow-up so nothing important slips.
• Prepare concise briefings before key meetings: who's in the room, relationship history, relevant context, and what we want to happen.
• Coordinate travel, events, and logistics.
• Draft communications and close loops on the CEO's behalf.
• Support the COO and executive team as needed.

Keep growth moving

• Track priority prospects, customers, and partners, including conversations, commitments, next steps, and important dates.
• Make sure follow-up after meetings happens quickly and consistently.
• Flag opportunities that have stalled or need executive attention.
• Coordinate outreach, introductions, proposals, and meeting materials with the sales team.
• Turn events, company news, research, and thought leadership into reasons to engage.
• Maintain visibility into upcoming customer renewals and help ensure the right executive outreach happens well before renewal decisions.
• Coordinate renewal-related follow-up across leadership, Sales, and Client Delivery so important commitments and conversations stay on track.

There's no sales quota, but this role is measured by its impact on growth, retention, and relationship momentum.

Strengthen customer relationships

• Help the CEO and executives stay intentional with important customers, investors, and partners.
• Spot the moments that matter, whether that's a thank-you after a big meeting, a milestone worth recognizing, a dinner, a renewal approaching, or a check-in before a relationship needs attention.
• Help coordinate customer feedback and survey programs, including outreach, response tracking, follow-up, and summarizing key themes for leadership.
• Make sure significant customer feedback, concerns, and opportunities are surfaced to the right people and followed through to resolution.
• Help our investors and advisors actually help us, through customer introductions, partnerships, recruiting, and market intelligence.

For existing clients, our Client Delivery team owns delivery and day-to-day satisfaction. Your role is to make sure executive engagement, customer listening, renewal touchpoints, and follow-through happen at the right moments.

Work smarter with AI

• Use AI tools daily to speed up research, meeting prep, writing, relationship tracking, customer feedback analysis, and recurring work. We're an AI company, and we expect this role to show what that looks like in practice.

What Success Looks Like

• The CEO is noticeably more organized, prepared, and responsive.

Who You Are

You:

• Anticipate needs and act without being asked.
• Bring sound judgment and complete discretion.
• Are comfortable with senior executives, customers, and investors.
• Write clearly and well.
• Follow up persistently and gracefully.
• Understand commercial priorities and connect dots between people, conversations, customer feedback, and opportunities.

"I've got it"
