SofiaBalderson comments on Senior EA ‘ops’ roles: if you want to undo the bottleneck, hire differently

[SofiaBalderson]

Thanks for this, I think you’re spot on about the roles not always being attractive. I’ve heard about a senior person not applying for senior EA ops jobs because they involved managing the CEO’s inbox or because they didn’t have someone who’d do more mundane tasks but the org was already too big for just one person to handle everything.

While managing inbox on short-term ‘needs must’ basis, making that ask of a very senior person is quite a red flag!
