Executive Assistant To CEO (Hybrid)
Job Description
Job Description
We are seeking a strategic, highly proactive Executive Assistant to partner directly with the CEO in both professional and personal domains. This is not a traditional, reactive support role. The ideal candidate is a critical thinker, problem-solver, and relationship manager who acts as an extension of the CEO—anticipating needs, making decisions independently, and building systems that increase efficiency and protect the CEO’s focus.
This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. You’ll be entrusted with sensitive information, complex tasks, and the freedom to take initiative.
- Proactively manage the CEO's complex calendar, appointments, meetings and travel.
- Draft, edit and respond to communications, including email and written correspondence
- Monitor key action items, flag priorities and follow through to completion without being asked.
- Serve as a gatekeeper and filter for incoming requests, protecting time, focus and energy.
- interface confidently with internal teams, client and partners on the CEO's behalf.
- Coordinate personal scheduled, travel, family appointments and home vendors.
- Plan and manage occasional private or social events.
- Handle errands, subscriptions and ongoing personal life systems with discretion and detail.
- Oversee logistics that impact the CEO's family life, wellness and bandwidth.
- Improve and implement organizational workflows, productivity systems and documentation.
- Evaluate and streamline recurring processes to reduce administrative friction.
- Learn and manage tools like Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, Trello, Airtable, etc
- 3+ years in an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff or high-accountability support role.
- Experience supporting a founder, CEO or Senior Executive directly.
- Proficiency with digital tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, task/project systems)
- Demonstrated ability to handle confidential information with utmost discretion.
- Strong writing, calendaring and relationship management capabilities.
- Hybrid work 2-3 days in office
- Travel: Occasional local travel may be required
- Hours: Some responsiveness required during evenings/weekends
- College graduate with strong communication and organizational fundamentals
- Extreme Ownership: You take initiative and full responsibility - no need for micromanagement!
- Sound Judgement: You know when to escalate and when to act independently.
- Anticipatory Thinking: You stay several steps ahead of the CEO's needs.
- System Oriented: You don't just do task - you build solutions that eliminate tasks.
- Stategic Partner Mindset: You see this as a business-critical role, not just a support one.
- Confident Communication: You can tactfully challenge, redirect or represent the CEO.
- Chemistry & Trust: You and the CEO must click - values-alignment is as important as skill.
- Discretion: you handle personal matters and executive level decisions with loyalty and care.
- $75,000 base salary
- A competitive salary and benefits package
- A casual, friendly, and relaxed work environment
- Professional growth encouragement and support
- Please send your resume and brief cover letter that addresses:
- Why you're an ideal fit for a high trust, proactive, hybrid EA role.
- A specific story where you took action without being asked and delivered outsized impact.
