Executive Assistant (Remote)

Boldly is the leading provider of remote executive assistant services and we're seeking part-time and full-time remote Executive Assistants to support established Fortune 500 companies, senior-level executives, and successful business owners as they make a greater impact in the world.

About the position

As a Boldly Employee, you will have the best of both worlds. Like a freelancer, you will have the opportunity to choose the clients you support based on company values and your preferences—and you'll have the flexibility that comes with setting your own schedule within standard US business hours. Alongside that flexibility, you'll have the stability of being a W2 employee working a set number of hours each week and hassle-free payment for your work every two weeks. You’ll create long-term partnerships with the executives that you assist and gain valuable experience in a variety of industries.

Your work will be 100% remote and flexible with no night or weekend work. This means that even if you choose to ramp up to a 40-hour week, there can still be an element of flexibility in the hours that you choose to work based on your personal preference.

As an executive assistant, you’ll apply your professional skills in a wide range of tasks, including:

• Maintaining appointment schedules and calendars
• Planning and scheduling meetings, conferences, and travel
• Making travel arrangements including flight and hotel bookings
• Maximizing the executive’s time by reading, researching, and routing correspondence; drafting letters and documents; collecting and analyzing information; initiating phone calls on their behalf
• Managing multiple email inboxes for executives
• Managing expenses
• Providing customer/supplier support
• Other executive admin responsibilities as needed

About you

You are a Jack or Jill of all trades with at least 7 years of experience serving as an virtual executive assistant or administrative assistant and have experience providing outstanding support to multiple clients or executives simultaneously. At this point in your career, your #1 priority is to work fully remote with a company that prioritizes flexibility in the workplace, and that promotes a culture of respect, kindness, and transparency. You are a team player with excellent communication skills and a positive outlook who cares deeply about helping others succeed. You take great pride in the quality of your work; you are proactive, dynamic, flexible, organized, tech-savvy, results-oriented, and a stickler for details! And you do it all with a smile!
