[Hiring] Founder & Executive Coordinator @Marisa Peer

Role Description

We’re looking for an exceptional Founder & Executive Coordinator to work directly with the Chairman / CEO and Portfolio COO across a portfolio of businesses, brands, investments and strategic projects. This is not a conventional Executive Assistant role. It combines high-level executive support with portfolio coordination and project oversight, giving you a broad view of what is happening across the organisation and a meaningful role in keeping senior priorities moving.

• Act as a central coordination point between the Founder, COO and key stakeholders.
• Manage the operational rhythm of both executives, including inboxes, calendars, meetings and follow-ups.
• Maintain oversight of key projects, decisions, dependencies and deadlines.
• Keep the Founder and COO aligned on priorities and decisions.
• Think ahead, connect the dots and exercise sound judgement.

Qualifications

• Executive support experience: Previous experience supporting a Founder, CEO, COO or other senior executive.
• Exceptional organisation: Ability to manage multiple workstreams without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Proactive judgement: Confidence in anticipating needs and identifying gaps.
• Strong coordination skills: Experience in bringing together stakeholders and clarifying responsibilities.
• Clear communication: Ability to communicate professionally and concisely with senior leaders.
• Discretion and trustworthiness: Comfort handling confidential information with sound judgement.
• Attention to detail: Ability to capture decisions accurately and maintain reliable records.
• Problem-solving ability: Confidence in investigating delays and establishing practical next steps.
• Adaptability: Comfort working across different businesses and time zones.
• Independent working style: Ability to take ownership and operate without constant direction.

Requirements

• Flexibility around occasional early or late meetings.
• Comfort coordinating across different time zones.
• Responsiveness to genuinely time-sensitive issues.
• Strong judgement about what needs immediate attention.
• Ability to structure workload around changing priorities.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work closely with senior leadership across a portfolio of businesses.
• Direct access to the Chairman / CEO and Portfolio COO.
• Meaningful role in shaping coordination and accountability.
• Room to use judgement, take ownership and work flexibly.
