We are seeking a proactive, sharp, and highly organized Executive Assistant to support a CEO with multiple business ventures. This individual is a public figure and serial entrepreneur, so experience supporting someone in a similar position is ideal.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage complex scheduling and logistics in coordination with personal and executive teams.

  • Triage and manage the CEO’s inboxes with speed, discretion, and accuracy.
  • Attend meetings, take detailed notes, and ensure follow-up on action items.
  • Maintain smooth communication between the CEO, staff, partners, and collaborators.
  • Handle personal expenses, admin tasks, and maintain public-facing materials like bios and CVs.
  • Support the CEO’s social media presence as needed.
  • Conduct research and assist with various projects and initiatives.
  • Act as gatekeeper for all incoming communications.
  • Occasional travel (including international) may be required.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years supporting a senior-level executive, ideally a public figure/entrepreneur.
  • Strong written/verbal communication and tech-savvy (Mac OS, Microsoft Office, Zoom, Egnyte or similar).
  • Highly organized with excellent judgment, follow-through, and adaptability.
  • Discreet, professional, and comfortable managing sensitive information.
  • Team player with a proactive mindset and a can-do attitude.
