Job Description

We’re seeking a personable, highly organized, and professional Executive Personal Assistant to support our CEO across both personal and professional dimensions. This is a unique opportunity for someone eager to grow in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where strategic thinking, trusted execution, and discretion are paramount.

Key Responsibilities

Scheduling & Calendar Management

  • Manage complex calendars across multiple time zones, balancing professional priorities with personal commitments.
  • Coordinate meetings, appointments, travel itineraries, and recurring engagements.

Communication & Workflow Management

  • Serve as the CEO’s primary gatekeeper—screening communications and prioritizing inbound and outbound requests.
  • Manage daily task lists for both the CEO and yourself, ensuring consistent follow-through.
  • Handle email and message triage, draft internal and external communications, and represent the CEO when liaising with stakeholders.

Meeting Facilitation

  • Run or support internal and external meetings: set agendas, take notes, track action items (AIs), and drive follow-ups to completion across teams.
  • Leverage AI tools for documentation and coordination.

Administrative & Office Support

  • Arrange travel and related logistics—flights, hotels, meals, transportation, and expense reports.
  • Maintain the CEO’s files, contact database, and ensure workspaces are organized and functional.
  • Provide support to other executive team members as needed.

Content Creation & Representation

  • Draft and proofread memos, presentations, and social media posts.
  • Prepare executive-ready presentations and documents.
  • Represent the CEO at internal and external events when required.

Event & Project Management

  • Organize and manage company and client events from planning to execution.
  • Coordinate cross-functional projects, ensuring alignment, progress, and closure.

Personal Support

  • Support household logistics: coordinate home staff, vendors, errands, and family-related travel or events.
  • Manage personal tasks with the same attention to detail and discretion as professional duties.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Proactive & Strategic – Anticipates needs, prioritizes effectively, and executes without micromanagement.
  • Emotionally Intelligent – Reads situations, builds trust, and adapts tone across personalities and situations.
  • Exceptionally Organized – Strong time-management skills, attention to detail, and multitasking capabilities.
  • Discreet & Trustworthy – Handles confidential information with the utmost care and integrity.
  • Tech-Savvy – Fluent with productivity tools (Microsoft 365, Teams, Zoom, calendar apps); experience in startup culture is a plus.
  • Adaptable Under Pressure – Resourceful and calm in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
  • Communicative – Strong writing and editing skills; able to ghostwrite or respond on behalf of the CEO.
  • Globally Mobile – Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% of the time, both domestically and internationally.

Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Sociology, Communications, Writing, or related field.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years in a professional administrative or executive support role.
  • Preferred: Previous experience supporting C-level executives or working in high-growth companies.

This role reports directly to the CEO and works closely with teams across the organization, including coordination with international support teams.

Confidentiality, integrity, and reliability are non-negotiable. If you’re someone who takes ownership, thrives in high-trust environments, and enjoys making a meaningful impact behind the scenes—we’d love to meet you.
