We’re looking for a high-level Executive Assistant who can operate as the founder’s right hand across business, operations, research, personal tasks, and decision-making support. This role is built for someone who thrives in high-pressure environments, works fast, communicates clearly, and brings strong judgment to ambiguous problems.

You’ll handle a blend of operations, research, coordination, strategic support, and personal workflow management. This is not a task-taking role. You’ll be expected to anticipate needs, create structure, and keep the founder’s world moving with clarity and momentum.

If you’re sharp, proactive, high-energy, and able to manage both personal and business responsibilities with equal professionalism, this is the type of environment where you’ll excel.

Why You’ll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually (starting Day 1)
  • Observance of Holidays based on your location
  • 100% remote setup with flexibility to work where you perform best
  • Direct partnership with a high-performance founder operating multiple ventures
  • Exposure to agency operations, acquisition strategy, and growth systems
  • Opportunity to grow into Chief of Staff or Operations leadership

What You’ll Work On

Founder Support and Prioritization

  • Act as the founder’s primary partner across both personal and business workflows
  • Manage communications, schedules, decisions, and priorities across multiple companies
  • Filter, organize, and structure high-volume information so the founder always sees what matters
  • Anticipate needs before they’re expressed and solve problems without handholding

Research, Analysis, and Vendor Sourcing

  • Conduct deep research on software, AI tools, and emerging solutions
  • Compare options, prepare summaries, and recommend the strongest direction with clear reasoning
  • Source vendors for niche items like stationery, creative gifting, personal shopping needs, or specialty services
  • Handle lifestyle-oriented research that requires strong taste and Western cultural familiarity

Operations and Systems Support

  • Support founder-led operations for a holding company acquiring businesses
  • Build structure inside fast-moving, chaotic environments when needed
  • Coordinate across teams, agencies, partners, or contractors
  • Maintain high accountability and clear communication across all moving parts

Personal and Lifestyle Coordination

  • Manage personal tasks requiring discretion, emotional intelligence, and good taste
  • Coordinate shopping, gifting, travel needs, and personal logistics
  • Handle sensitive information with complete confidentiality

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of experience supporting founders, executives, or operating teams
  • Excellent English communication with near-native fluency
  • High energy, upbeat presence, and the ability to match a fast, demanding workflow
  • Strong research instincts and resourcefulness — you can find anything online
  • Ability to operate with little direction, make decisions, and own outcomes
  • Comfortable with blended personal and business support
  • Tech-savvy and able to evaluate tools, apps, and AI solutions independently
  • Experienced with Slack, Asana, CRMs, and modern online work systems

Nice to Have

  • Experience in private equity, venture capital, or startup operations
  • Background supporting founders in high-pressure or high-growth environments
  • Experience with competitive research, systems building, or tech-forward workflows
  • Familiarity with Western lifestyle expectations, brands, and cultural references

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume
  2. A short 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and describing how you’ve supported founders or executives
  3. A brief example of a complex problem you solved with minimal direction

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be considered.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, operate with intensity and precision, and enjoy being the person who keeps everything moving, this role gives you direct access to high-level decision-making and the opportunity to build systems that scale across multiple businesses.
