We are seeking a strong, organized, and thoughtful Executive Assistant to support the CEO of a growing US-based company. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to decision-making, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and brings both structure and sound judgment to their work.

The Executive Assistant will work closely with the CEO to help maintain clarity around priorities, ensure consistent follow-through, and support smooth day-to-day operations across the business.

This is a growth-oriented role. While prior experience as an Executive Assistant or in a similar support role is important, the successful candidate does not need to know everything on day one. What matters most is strong judgment, clear communication, humility, and the ability to learn quickly.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support the CEO with scheduling, communication, and task follow-through

  • Keep projects, tasks, and priorities well-organized

  • Coordinate across operations, finance, and internal teams

  • Assist with HR processes, onboarding, and internal organization

  • Provide administrative and light marketing coordination support as needed

What Were Looking For
  • Strong organizational and communication skills

  • High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities

  • Confidence working with different personalities and levels of seniority

  • Practical judgment and the ability to think on your feet

  • A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset

  • Comfort taking ownership while also being open to direction and feedback

  • Desire to grow into a high-impact, trusted role over time

Working Arrangement
  • Independent contractor position

  • Fully remote

  • Aligned to US working hours

  • Supporting a US-based client
