- Support cross-functional initiatives through independent research, coordination, and structured data management
- Liaise confidently with internal teams, clients, partners, and external stakeholders on behalf of executives
- Identify inefficiencies and proactively improve administrative and communication workflows
- Perform additional executive-level administrative tasks as required, with a mindset of ownership rather than instruction

- Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience supporting senior executives or business owners as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or similar role (administrative-only or entry-level experience is not sufficient)
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, deadlines, and shifting demands in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to draft clear, professional correspondence on behalf of executives
- Proven proficiency in Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office, including advanced calendar management and document preparation
- High level of professional judgment, discretion, and attention to detail when handling confidential and sensitive information
- Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, and make informed decisions without constant direction

- Direct experience supporting C-level executives, founders, or senior leadership teams
