Position Title: Executive Operations Assistant to Chief Revenue Officer & Head of Sales
Position Overview:
Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-visibility environments where priorities move quickly and execution matters every day? Nulixir is looking for an exceptional Executive Operations Assistant to the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) & Head of Sales to help run the revenue engine of a hyper-growth company.
This is not a traditional admin role. You’ll act as the CRO’s execution partner—owning calendars, communications, and the operating rhythm—while helping drive key commercial processes: pipeline hygiene, meeting prep, customer follow-ups, internal coordination, and the systems that keep a sales org sharp.
You’ll sit at the center of deals, priorities, and cross-functional alignment—helping ensure the Sales team moves fast, stays organized, and delivers on aggressive growth targets.
Position Location:
This position will be based at our HQ facilities located in the Austin, TX Metropolitan Area.
In this critically important role, you will be responsible for:
1) Executive Support & Scheduling (Revenue Leadership)
- Own calendar management for the CRO & Head of Sales: scheduling, prioritization, travel coordination, and rapid changes.
- Protect focus time for high-value work (customer calls, deal strategy, team coaching) and keep meeting hygiene world-class.
- Draft agendas, organize pre-reads, and ensure meetings end with clear action items and deadlines.
- Track commitments and follow-ups across internal and external meetings to ensure nothing drops.
2) Deal & Pipeline Execution Support (“Sales Control Tower”)
- Help maintain the weekly revenue operating rhythm: pipeline reviews, forecast calls, deal reviews, and key account check-ins.
- Ensure pipeline data is clean and current (stage, next steps, close dates, blockers) in coordination with Sales and RevOps.
- Prepare weekly dashboards and summaries for the CRO: pipeline movement, top deals, risks, and required actions.
- Keep a tight follow-up system on next steps after customer meetings (internal owners, deadlines, deliverables).
3) Cross-Functional Commercial Coordination
- Act as the coordination bridge between Sales and internal teams (R&D, Operations, Quality, Finance) to move deals forward.
- Own scheduling and follow-through for customer-facing workflows: NDAs, samples, kickoff calls, technical reviews, pilots, and commercialization timelines.
- Track key customer requests and make sure internal teams deliver on time (quotes, specs, COAs, samples, timelines).
- Help ensure that “what we promised” is clearly translated into operational execution.
4) Sales Process, Systems & Reporting
- Maintain and improve trackers, templates, and tools across the commercial org (deal notes, account plans, meeting templates, follow-up trackers).
- Support improvements to sales systems (CRM hygiene, reporting structure, standard operating cadence).
- Compile customer, market, and competitive intel into structured briefs for leadership.
- Support creation of high-quality internal and external materials (one-pagers, decks, meeting notes, executive summaries).
5) Events, Travel, and Team Enablement
- Coordinate key commercial travel, customer visits, conferences, and onsite customer experiences at Nulixir.
- Support the CRO & Sales team with logistics and execution for high-stakes meetings (agenda, attendees, prep, notes, follow-ups).
- Help onboard new commercial team members by standardizing tools and operating rhythms.
Relevant Job Experiences, Skills, and Key Requirements for this Role:
- 1–5+ years experience in an execution-heavy role: executive assistant (high-performing), sales operations support, commercial program coordinator, operations coordinator, or similar.
- Exceptional organization and ability to manage many moving parts with speed and accuracy.
- Strong written/verbal communication—clear, crisp, professional, and confident.
- Proficiency in Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office, especially Sheets/Excel; comfort building trackers and dashboards.
- High ownership and bias for action: you anticipate needs and close loops without being chased.
- Ability to work with confidential information and handle executive-level interactions with professionalism.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced start-up environment; you thrive when priorities shift and the bar stays high.
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales workflows.
- Experience supporting customer-facing teams in B2B, CPG, food & beverage, biotech, or ingredients.
- Strong business writing skills and comfort supporting decks/one-pagers.
- Interest in sales, negotiation, and growth strategy.
We Offer:
- A unique and diverse company culture, shaped by people with commitment, sense of responsibility, risk-taking and discipline
- An excellent start-up work environment, flat hierarchy, and short decision paths
- Competitive salary
- Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
- Annual Performance Bonus; and
- Stock options
