About Harry’s 

Harry’s Inc. is building a modern CPG company by putting people first and delivering against real unmet consumer needs.

The company’s flagship brand - Harry’s -  was founded by Jeff Raider and Andy Katz-Mayfield in 2013. After successfully launching and scaling Harry’s, Jeff and Andy saw an opportunity to bring their experience building Harry’s to other CPG categories where the consumer has also been historically underserved.

Harry’s Inc. has grown significantly over the last ten years, and is now made up of four brands -  Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando -  and Harry’s Labs, the company’s incubation and M&A engine. The company employs more than 900 people across the U.S., U.K. and Germany, and is the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years.

At Harry’s Inc, our mission is to Create Things People Like More — whether it's a product, an experience, or an internal tool, we believe in making the things around us better for our customers, and our team.

Our mission extends beyond customers and team, to the community broadly. We believe that the best business models make a positive impact. That's why our brands donate year-round to nonprofit organizations that align with their social missions.

At the end of the day, the key to our success is our amazing people. From chemists, mechanical engineers, CX associates, to creative directors, sourcing managers, and logistics specialists, the Harry’s team is composed of some of the most brilliant, diverse, and humble people you’ll ever meet. Our company is a place of inclusion, innovation, and deeply ingrained values.

 

The Harry's Inc working model is in-office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Our beautiful 70,000 square foot SoHo office is decked out with bagels on Wednesdays and lunch on Thursdays, and fully stocked kitchens with snacks, coffee, and drinks everyday.  Can’t forget the free products and the opportunity to have some meetings without Zoom!

The Team:

Andy Katz-Mayfield is the co-founder and co-CEO of Harry’s Inc. He oversees all of our business units and enterprise functions and is responsible for setting the company vision and driving our strategy to achieve that vision. We are seeking a highly organized and strategic Executive Business Manager to support Andy and his Chief of Staff. You will join the Office of the CEO, a small but mighty team, that directly supports the C-suite and Harry’s Inc. organization at large. 

 

The Role:

The Executive Business Manager, Office of the CEO will serve as an essential partner to Andy and his Chief of Staff and will be an active participant of the Harry’s EA community. This role does not neatly fit within the confines of the 9 - 6 day, so we’re looking for a go-getter who’s eager to be flexible and available, even outside traditional working hours. Andy splits time between NYC and LA, so we’re seeking someone who is willing to go above and beyond to build relationships. This means an openness to traveling to LA on occasion (<10% of the time). Because the role (and our team!) is dynamic, this person must possess strong business judgment and communication skills needed to interact with a variety of senior stakeholders and job functions. This highly organized and endlessly resourceful person will support Andy and his CoS primarily with strategic, operational and tactical responsibilities including (1) administrative needs, (2) strategic programs and event management, and (3) operations management.

 

This role is based out of Harry’s New York City office in SoHo with in-person attendance required 3-days/week (Tuesday through Thursday).

This should describe you:

• You are proficient with the Microsoft Office Suite of products (or the Google Workspace equivalents); this means you’re comfortable building slides in PPT and performing basic formulas and skills in excel (e.g., pivot tables, vlook-ups, etc.)

• You’re exceptionally detail oriented: You are a perfectionist who never lets anything fall through the cracks. You close every loop, spot every error, and look around corners to make sure every detail is perfect.
• You’re proactive: Some might call it pushy, but we just think you’re proactive. You’re always three steps ahead, and know how to manage senior executives to help them avoid pitfalls.
• You possess foresight: If you had a superpower, it would be the ability to see (and plan) around corners. You know there’s a problem – and you know how to fix it – before anyone else.
• You’re a creative problem solver: There’s no sticky situation that you can’t wiggle your way out of, and you always come to the table with solutions.
• You’re a pro at multitasking: You have the ability to manage multiple initiatives and projects at the same time and can easily context switch and redirect attention based on shifting priorities.
• You’re an excellent cross-functional project manager: You know what it takes to run a tight process, providing clear guidance, tracking towards deadlines, and working through people.
• You’re a great communicator with an executive presence: You can communicate nuance effectively to anyone, and you know how to modify your tone and content based on who you’re speaking to. Whether it’s in an email, over the phone, or in person, you know how to get things done through your ability to clearly and professionally express yourself. You have experience with senior-level stakeholders and investors and know how to interface effectively. 
• You’re hardworking: You are endlessly reliable, trustworthy, and consistent in your ability to produce the highest quality work. Everyone counts on you all the time, and you always come through. Whether it’s coordinating on-site catering, or executing a large-scale event, you’re down for anything, big or small.
• You exercise good judgment: You’re trustworthy and exercise good judgment with the most confidential and sensitive information. You know how to tactfully navigate requests for information that may not be best shared; you help to put out, rather than flame, rumors and gossip. 
• You’re a people person: You’re curious about people, energized by forming relationships, getting to know people, and working with and through them. 

 

Here's who you will work with:

• Report to Andy’s Chief of Staff
• Partner closely with Andy to understand his needs, priorities and preferences
