Executive Assistant

Redmont Talent Partners is working with a client seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to work alongside the Chief Operating Officer (COO). This is far more than a traditional executive support role—it is an opportunity to become a trusted thought partner who helps maximize the COO's effectiveness through exceptional organization, proactive planning, and seamless execution.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, intellectually curious, of high integrity and thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. They think several steps ahead, anticipate needs before they arise, and enjoy solving complex scheduling and coordination challenges. They are energized by emerging technology, fascinated by the future of AI, and comfortable engaging with senior executives, advisors, and impressive domestic and global leaders across a wide range of industries.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the COO's strategic partner, ensuring time, priorities, and commitments are aligned with key business objectives.
• Manage a complex and ever-changing calendar, thoughtfully balancing competing priorities and protecting time for strategic work.
• Coordinate meetings with advisors, executives, investors, board members, and other key stakeholders.
• Anticipate needs by proactively identifying opportunities, resolving scheduling conflicts, and preparing the COO for upcoming meetings and commitments.
• Prepare meeting agendas, briefing materials, and follow-up action items to drive accountability and execution.
• Act as a trusted liaison with internal and external stakeholders, representing the COO with professionalism, discretion, and exceptional communication.
• Support special projects, operational initiatives, and cross-functional coordination as business needs evolve.
• Continuously identify ways to improve processes, increase efficiency, and help the COO operate at the highest level.

What We're Looking For

• Outstanding organizational and project management skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence and professionalism to engage with C-suite executives and leaders across multiple industries.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate needs rather than simply respond to requests.
• High emotional intelligence, sound judgment, and absolute discretion when handling confidential information.
• Curiosity about the future of AI, technology, and innovation, with a desire to continually learn.
• Interest in startups, entrepreneurship, and high-growth businesses.
• A passion for helping others succeed by creating structure, clarity, and efficiency.
• Unwavering integrity, professionalism, and a service-oriented mindset.
