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.

    • Google Calendar
    • Microsoft Outlook
  • Ensure executives are always prepared and never double-booked

Communication & Executive Support
  • Draft, edit, and send professional emails and memos

  • Act as a liaison between executives, clients, and internal teams
  • Maintain clear, professional communication across stakeholders

Meeting Preparation & Follow-Up

  • 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

    • 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

  • Familiarity with tools like:
    • Slack
    • Zoom
    • Notion
    • Asana
