Senior Executive Assistant

What You'll Do

We are looking for a highly capable Senior Executive Assistant to work directly with the CEO and help increase the CEO's strategic, decision-making, and execution leverage. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, problem-solving, execution, and executive partnership.

The right person will be able to understand the problem, structure it, form a point of view, mobilize resources, and drive it to resolution. The ultimate goal is to help the CEO make better decisions faster, expand management bandwidth, and spend less time personally chasing execution.

• Quickly understand business, organizational, and operational issues that matter to the CEO.
• Identify the core problem, key variables, trade-offs, and priorities.
• Conduct market research, industry benchmarking, information gathering, and analysis.
• Turn fragmented information into clear conclusions, options, and recommendations.
• Go beyond identifying problems - develop potential solutions and make clear recommendations.
• Prepare executive briefings, decision materials, meeting materials, and high-impact communications.

• Take ownership of important issues that cross functions or do not yet have a clear owner.
• Turn ambiguous requests into structured problems, priorities, work streams, owners, and next steps.
• Proactively gather information and identify root causes.
• Coordinate internal and external stakeholders to move issues forward.
• Know when a matter requires CEO involvement and when you can make the decision and move independently.

• Lead or coordinate high-priority initiatives sponsored by the CEO.
• Take projects from an initial idea through execution.
• Build objectives, timelines, work streams, accountability mechanisms, and execution plans from the ground up.
• Identify risks, roadblocks, and resource gaps before they become major issues.
• Drive cross-functional execution and take ownership of the outcome - not just the process.

• Act as a trusted extension of the CEO in selected internal and external interactions.
• Track critical decisions, commitments, and follow-up actions.
• Ensure important priorities do not fall through the cracks or lose momentum.
• Influence senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams without relying on formal authority.
• Help the CEO optimize time and attention by reducing repetitive communication and execution follow-up.

• This is a senior role, but we are looking for someone who is comfortable getting into the details when necessary.
• Depending on business priorities, you may support:
  Critical meetings, Urgent business issues, Executive follow-ups, Travel and executive logistics, Time-sensitive projects and Other priorities directly related to the CEO

We care more about how you think and operate than whether your previous title was "Executive Assistant".

• Learns extremely quickly and identifies what matters.
• Can understand complex situations with incomplete information.
• Turns ambiguity into structure and action.
• Has strong judgment and knows when to elevate versus when to act independently.
• Takes ownership of outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
• Communicates effectively with senior executives and stakeholders at different levels.
• Can influence people without relying on formal authority.
• Is highly reliable, detail-oriented, and strong in follow-through.
• Can perform consistently in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.
