Position Overview:

We're supporting our CEO in finding a resourceful and highly self-directed Executive Personal Assistant. This is a full-time remote role for someone who thrives on quietly keeping things in motion - behind the scenes - so the CEO can focus on leading our company.

Key Responsibilities:

Think of this as being the wizard behind the curtain: you'll manage the personal and administrative side of the Founder's life with a high degree of autonomy. You'll coordinate closely with the Executive Assistant who handles business-facing priorities, but your main focus will be on removing things from the CEO's plate.

This means: serving as a gatekeeper and point of contact for a wide range of people - from family members to outside vendors; handling paperwork and personal logistics; and managing requests that may come up across time zones and outside of traditional business hours. The work isn't driven by the CEO's daily schedule but by the varied needs of the role itself.

• Full-time; hours will flex based on the needs of the week rather than a standard 9-to-5.
• Expected to be responsive during core working hours with the understanding that after-hours, evening or weekend needs will arise.
• Day-to-day will include coordinating with outside vendors and service providers, managing personal paperwork and commitments, liaising with extended family, and ensuring logistical and administrative needs are handled seamlessly.
• 50% of your time will be spent on PA tasks, 50% will be spent on EA tasks.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being quietly indispensable-steady, responsive, and always a step ahead, ensuring the Founder's personal world runs as smoothly as their professional one.

Qualifications:

• Autonomous and proactive: you are able to make sound judgments and move things forward with minimal direction.
• Discreet and composed: you handle sensitive matters with absolute professionalism.
• Proactive and unflappable: you anticipate needs and respond to the unexpected.
• Strong communication: you communicate clearly and kindly in representing the Founder to family, vendors, and other contacts.
• Organized and meticulous: you keep things organized, and can prioritize effectively in a shifting landscape.
