Executive Assistant & Paralegal

About SafeLease

At SafeLease , we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.

SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both.

We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.

We're a team of 85, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.

Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced Executive Assistant / Paralegal to support our Founder and CEO at SafeLease . This is a hybrid role that requires experience in both executive support and paralegal work. You'll manage the CEO's day-to-day schedule and priorities while also supporting legal, corporate, and administrative matters across the business.

The Executive Assistant / Paralegal will work on matters at SafeLease and also assist with administrative and legal matters related to the Founder-CEO's private investment fund. This is an in-office role based in Austin, Texas and will report directly to our Founder and CEO.

About the Role

The right person has good judgment, communicates well, and is comfortable taking ownership and figuring out what needs to get done. You'll work closely with our CEO and have access to confidential business and personal information, so discretion is extremely important.
