We’re hiring a
Personal Executive Assistant to support our CEO.
This is
not a traditional EA role focused only on gatekeeping and travel booking. It’s a high-leverage, systems-driven role for someone who loves using technology (especially AI/automations) to keep a complex life and calendar running smoothly—often beyond standard business hours. You must be detail oriented, quick, available, adaptable and comfortable with constant change in a fast-paced environment. This is a contract position at $34/hour, starting at ~20 hours/week during a probationary period, with the potential to convert to full-time (40–50 hours/week) if there is mutual fit.

What You'll Do:

Own a very dynamic calendar. Manage a heavy volume of meetings across time zones. Book, rebook and cancel meetings as priorities change. Communicate changes.

Run the CEO’s day like a control tower. Send/schedule daily schedules and reminders before each block of meetings, including “prep now,” “join in 5 minutes,” and “leave now” nudges.

Time management for in-person meetings (max ~3 per week). Track traffic and transit time so that reminders reflect when to leave, not just when a meeting starts. Adjust alerts if conditions change and build simple automations so this process gets smarter over time.

Travel & flight management. Track flights, typical security wait times, and airport busyness using available tools. Recommend when to leave, how much buffer to add, and proactively flag risks (weather, delays, tight connections). Occasionally change flight or seat.

Use AI and automation to increase leverage. Apply tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others to draft communications, summarize information, create checklists, and streamline scheduling workflows. Set up and maintain simple automations (rules, zaps, shortcuts, scripts, etc.) that reduce repetitive work and help the CEO stay on track.

Keep communication and follow-through tight. Track decisions, follow-ups, and priories in a shared note with CEO. Nudge the right people at the right time to keep things moving.

Who You Are:

Calendar and time management is your superpower. You have experience managing a high-volume, frequently changing calendar for a senior leader, founder, or equivalent. You’re comfortable creating calendar invites across Outlook & Google Calendars and adjusting on the fly.

AI-curious and automation-minded. You already use AI tools (, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, n8n, Zappier & etc.) in your work or personal life. You enjoy experimenting with new tools, setting up automations, and continuously improving your systems.

Candidates who do not use or fundamentally don’t want to use AI tools will not be a culture fit for this role.

Comfortable with non-traditional hours. You understand that supporting an executive sometimes means after-hours and occasional weekend availabilityfor urgent changes, travel issues, or priority shifts. Responsiveness is CRITICAL for this role.

High judgment: you know when to ask vs. when to act. You’re comfortable asking clear, concise questions when context is missing. You know when to pause and clarify versus when to take a best-effort step and move things forward. You’re proactive without being reckless.

Organized, precise, and discreet. You notice small details that prevent big problems. You handle sensitive information with confidentiality and professionalism. You communicate clearly and succinctly in writing and verbally.

Thick-skinned and low-ego. You’re comfortable with direct, candid feedback and…
