Job Description

Job Overview:

  • We are seeking a high-performing Executive Assistant to directly support senior executives and business owners in a fast-paced, results-driven environment. This is not a task-based or entry-level role.
  • You will act as a strategic partner, managing priorities, anticipating needs, and protecting executive time so leaders can focus on decision-making and growth. Success in this role requires exceptional judgment, discretion, precision, and the ability to operate independently with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and manage complex, multi-time-zone calendars, proactively resolving conflicts and prioritizing meetings based on business impact
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel, ensuring accurate itineraries, contingency planning, and real-time adjustments
  • Act as a gatekeeper for executive communications, triaging emails, calls, and requests with sound judgment
  • Prepare, review, and organize executive-level documents, reports, and presentations with a high standard of accuracy
  • Plan, coordinate, and run meetings end-to-end, including agenda preparation, minute-taking, and strict follow-up on action items
  • Handle confidential and sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism
  • 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

Qualifications:

  • 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

Preferred (but not required):

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or a related field
  • Direct experience supporting C-level executives, founders, or senior leadership teams
  • Experience working with international teams or multiple time zones

Technical Requirements:

  • USB Headset with Noise Cancellation feature
  • Working Webcam
  • Computer with at least 1.8 GHz processor and 4GB RAM (minimum)
  • Main Internet Service Speed: at least 25 Mbps (cable connection preferred)
  • Backup Internet Service Speed: at least 10 Mbps
