Role Description

This is a high-trust, high-ownership Executive & Personal Assistant role supporting a founder and family. You will run the executive’s schedule and communication flow, keep inboxes organized, manage logistics (travel/events), coordinate vendors and personal assets/properties, and help the team stay organized with the tech stack. This is not a task-by-task VA role. We need someone “all in” with executive-level judgment, strong written English, and proactive follow-through.

Responsibilities

  • Executive schedule & coordination
    • Manage personal and business calendar with strong prioritization and protection of focus time
    • Coordinate meetings across time zones, confirm details, prep agendas/briefs, and ensure follow-ups happen
  • Inbox + communications gatekeeping
    • Review incoming emails daily and keep inboxes organized (labels, rules, triage)
    • Draft replies in the executive’s voice, escalate urgent items, and close loops
    • Handle inbound calls and messaging (screen, route, respond, and document next steps)
  • Social media support
    • Manage personal social media profiles and inbound messages (DMs/comments)
    • Track conversations and ensure follow-ups are not missed
  • Culture calendar execution
    • Execute the “culture calendar” for the family and team members (birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, gifts, key moments)
    • Keep reminders and planning organized so nothing is last-minute
  • Tech stack support
    • Help manage the team’s tech stack (accounts, permissions, subscriptions, renewals)
    • Basic troubleshooting and coordination with vendors/support
    • Use AI tools to accelerate drafting, summarizing, research, and SOP creation
  • Asset + property management
    • Manage personal vehicles and properties: utilities, vendor sourcing/management, scheduling maintenance
    • Track insurance policies, renewals, and key documents
    • Own vendor relationships and negotiate pricing/terms where possible
  • Travel & events
    • Plan and book travel, build clean itineraries, handle changes quickly
    • Support events and in-person meetings as needed
  • Family support
    • Support Spouse with various tasks as needed (coordination, research, scheduling, vendor calls, follow-ups)

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant / Senior EA / assistant to C-level leaders (CEO/Founder/COO/CRO, etc.)
  • Strong written and spoken English (professional, concise, high accuracy)
  • Proven experience managing:
    • Complex calendars
    • Inbox triage and drafting executive communications
    • Travel planning and itineraries
    • Vendor management and negotiation experience (you have personally negotiated pricing/terms)
  • Strong tech competence across common tools:
    • Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365
    • Slack/Zoom/Teams
    • Project/task tools (Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Airtable, etc.)
    • Comfort using AI tools for productivity (research, drafting, summaries, SOPs)
  • High discretion: comfortable handling sensitive personal and business information
  • Reliable internet, professional working setup, and strong follow-through

Requirements

  • You will work mostly on US standard time (with meaningful daily overlap).
  • You have flexibility during weekdays (gym/errands/etc are fine without asking).
  • You must be highly responsive and reliable:
    • During agreed working windows: prompt responses and same-day execution.
    • Outside standard hours: availability for evenings/weekends as needed.
  • You control your schedule as long as meetings are attended and responsiveness remains high.
  • Must be able to travel to the US or other locations at least 1x per quarter for 1–2 weeks.
  • Must have a valid passport and be willing/able to obtain appropriate travel authorization (tourist/business visa/ESTA, etc.) as needed.

Benefits

  • $1,500 USD per month base
  • Up to $12,000 USD per year in performance bonuses
  • All required travel costs covered (flights, lodging, etc.)
  • Quarterly in-person travel (1x/quarter for 1–2 weeks) required
  • Flexible Schedule
  • Tech Stack Allowance
  • Executive Level Training Opportunities
