Executive Business Partner
Block, New York, NY, United States
Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.
The Role Most executive operations functions move information. ExecOps is built to generate it. We sit at the intersection of every major initiative — seeing what no individual executive can see simultaneously. We don't just move information to leaders; we route what we observe back into the system: naming what's stuck, surfacing misalignment, correcting drift before it calcifies. A centralized function compounds that intelligence — patterns that span organizations, signals that surface before they become problems. This is not simply a coordination function. It is an intelligence function.
As an Executive Business Partner supporting leaders across Block's Sales, Guidance, and Risk functions, you'll build the kind of relational knowledge — how a leader thinks, what context they need before they walk into a room, how they make decisions under pressure — that makes leadership more effective at scale. You'll anchor your work to Block's highest‑priority initiatives across multiple organizations, drive information flow across the company, and surface what needs to surface before it becomes a problem. The operational work is real; it's not the ceiling.
Block's Sales, Guidance, and Risk functions sit at the center of how the company grows, operates, and protects itself. Supporting leaders across three distinct functions means your pattern recognition compounds — you're not just moving one organization forward, you're connecting signals across all of them. Your work directly affects how clearly and quickly that leadership can operate — whether decisions get made on time, whether the right context reaches the right people, and whether the organization stays aligned as things move fast. You're not adjacent to that work. You're embedded in it.
You Will
Drive information flow across the organization — keeping decisions in motion, context traveling to the right people, and leadership aligned on what's actually happening
Build a deep operating picture of your exec partnerships: how they think, communicate, delegate, and make decisions — and use it to move with autonomy and conviction on their behalf
Identify misalignment, stuck decisions, and drift early — and route those signals back into the system before they calcify
Leverage AI and automation to systematize the routine, freeing your capacity for the judgment‑intensive work that can't be
Manage complex calendars, international travel, and logistics with precision — as the foundation that makes everything else possible
Collaborate within ExecOps to share what you're seeing, raise the bar across the team, and contribute to a function that operates as one
You Have
You have 6+ years of experience as an EBP, Executive Assistant, or in a role where you operated as a trusted proxy for senior leadership. More importantly, you operate by a specific set of instincts:
You surface, you don't absorb.
When there's friction, overload, or misalignment, you say so early. Silence creates drift. You've learned that.
You own outcomes, not activity.
You're not tracking tasks completed — you're accountable for whether leadership is more effective because of you.
You move without waiting for permission.
You build, test, and recalibrate. You question existing structures and push toward better.
You treat change as the operating condition.
Reorganizations, shifting priorities, new partnerships — these don't destabilize you. You've built your practice to be portable.
You win as part of a function.
You share what works, you raise the bar with your peers, and you understand that ExecOps' reputation is collective.
Required Skills & Experience
Proven experience supporting senior executives in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment
Strong pattern recognition — the ability to see what's not being said, connect dots across organizations, and act on signals before they become problems
Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace and genuine comfort adopting AI tools to systematize routine work
Outstanding written and verbal communication — you can distill complexity and move information to exactly the right people
Expertise in international travel coordination and complex calendar management
High discretion and sound judgment with sensitive information
