Executive Assistant to the CEO/Founder
Apply NowCompany: Starbridge
Location: New York, NY 10025
Description:
About the Company & Founder:
Every year the U.S. funnels $1.5 trillion through 110,000 state, local-government, and education entities-three times the federal budget for contracts-yet 40 % of awards attract just one bid. Prices for tuition, public healthcare, and housing keep climbing because new vendors can't even see, let alone compete for, the work.
Starbridge fixes that. Our intelligence layer scans thousands of clunky agency sites, board minutes, and FOIA troves to match a company's product with the schools, cities, or counties that need it next. In minutes, innovators find the right buyers; public agencies get real choice; taxpayers finally see value.
Our mission: spark a new era of public-private partnership where competition drives better outcomes for every community. Join us and help turn the largest, least transparent market in America into a catalyst for progress.
Our founder & CEO Justin Wenig previously founded & exited a company that sold to the public sector for nine-figures.
About the Role:
1. Executive Support
2. Service-Provider Management & Coordination
3. Special Projects
