Who We're Looking For:

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented executive assistant to support our CEO. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who excels at managing daily tasks with minimal oversight, enjoys the challenge of tackling complex projects, loves to learn, and thrives in a remote work environment.

You should be able to think critically, anticipate needs, and offer solutions that improve workflows. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks without missing deadlines are essential.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Calendar management: Schedule and manage calls, meetings, and appointments; keep the calendar organized; make sure the CEO is aware of upcoming deadlines and other important calendar items.
  • Email management: manage the CEO’s inboxes and interact with his contacts via email. The goal is to handle much of his email for him.
  • Briefings: Shepherd the CEO through his day, briefing him daily on his tasks and appointments.
  • Travel arrangements: book and manage the CEO’s travel, handle logistics, learn and apply his travel preferences
  • Other admin tasks: conduct online research, make purchases, manage software subscriptions, etc.
  • Process improvements: stay on the lookout for ways we can improve our workflows to become more effective and efficient
  • Special projects: take the lead on more complex tasks and projects, figuring out solutions and getting things done.

Proactiveness is encouraged on every level of the work. We value you taking the lead and coming up with ideas on how things can be better.

When you apply, please make sure the subject line is: “Attention to detail matters.”

  • Google Calendar
  • Google Docs

What We Offer:

Job Requirements (apply only if you meet these)::

  • Quality-focused: You take pride in doing excellent work, whether it’s a massive project or a two-sentence email.
  • Self-directed: You can think on your feet, find solutions, and figure out how to complete tasks without hand holding. With time, you can learn to anticipate the needs and suggest useful things the company and your boss hadn't thought of.
  • Detail-oriented: When you are given instructions, you follow them carefully and in detail. You can keep track of multiple tasks and responsibilities, and you don't let things slip through the cracks.
  • Articulate: You write and speak well, in native-level, fluent English. Your writing has a warm, friendly, not-too-formal tone, while remaining professional.
  • Accountable: When you make a mistake — which everyone does — you don't hide it or make excuses. You acknowledge the mistake, propose a fix, and treat it as a learning experience.
  • Tech-savvy: You’re comfortable in the digital environment, able to use all the required software tools (see above), and able to learn new, user-friendly software services.
  • AI-savvy: If you don't already make extensive use of ChatGPT or Claude, you're open to learning how. We can provide some helpful guides.
  • Friendly: You have a warm, friendly demeanor and are pleasant to work with. (We are too!)
