Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (flexibility required)

About the Role

We’re hiring a high-performing Executive Assistant to support senior leadership in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.

This is not a basic admin role.

You’ll act as a gatekeeper, operator, and strategic partner — ensuring executives stay focused on high-impact work while you handle execution, coordination, and communication.

If you’re someone who anticipates needs, solves problems before they happen, and thrives under pressure, this role puts you at the center of decision-making.

Calendar & Scheduling Management

  • Manage complex executive calendars across multiple time zones
  • Prioritize requests, resolve conflicts, and optimize time usage
  • Coordinate meetings using:
    • Google Calendar
    • Microsoft Outlook
  • Ensure executives are always prepared and never double-booked

Communication & Executive Support

  • Draft, edit, and send professional emails and memos
  • Screen inbox, calls, and requests — escalate only what matters
  • Act as a liaison between executives, clients, and internal teams
  • Maintain clear, professional communication across stakeholders

Meeting Preparation & Follow-Up

  • Prepare agendas, talking points, and briefing documents
  • Gather and synthesize key information before meetings
  • Take notes, track action items, and ensure follow-through
  • Keep executives aligned on priorities and outcomes

Travel & Logistics

  • Coordinate domestic and international travel
  • Book flights, hotels, and transportation
  • Build detailed itineraries and manage last-minute changes
  • Handle expense tracking and reimbursements

Project & Priority Management

  • Track executive priorities and ongoing initiatives
  • Follow up with teams to ensure deadlines are met
  • Conduct research and prepare reports or summaries
  • Support decision-making with structured information

Administrative Operations

  • Maintain organized digital filing systems
  • Manage document versions, approvals, and workflows
  • Handle confidential information with discretion
  • Support onboarding/offboarding for senior roles

What Success Looks Like

  • Executive calendars run flawlessly
  • No missed meetings, delays, or communication gaps
  • Executives stay focused on strategy — not admin work
  • Tasks are anticipated and handled proactively
  • Stakeholders receive fast, clear, and professional responses

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Proactive — you think ahead, not react
  • Strong communicator with executive-level polish
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
  • Able to manage multiple priorities without dropping quality

Requirements (Must-Have)

Experience

  • 3+ years supporting senior executives
  • Experience managing complex calendars and travel logistics

Core Skills

  • Proficiency in:
    • Google Workspace
    • Microsoft Office
  • Strong written and verbal English communication
  • Ability to manage scheduling across time zones
  • High level of discretion and confidentiality

Nice to Have

  • Experience in startups, agencies, or high-growth environments
  • Familiarity with tools like:
    • Slack
    • Zoom
    • Notion
    • Asana
  • Experience supporting multiple executives
  • Exposure to project or operations management

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Review calendar and prepare executive briefing notes
  • Manage inbox, filter priorities, and draft responses
  • Coordinate meetings, agendas, and logistics
  • Handle travel planning or expense tracking
  • Follow up on key initiatives and deadlines
  • Prepare next-day schedule and priorities

In short:
You ensure the executive operates at maximum efficiency, clarity, and control.

  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification
