We’re looking to add an assistant to the CEO’s personal team. This is a unique role suitable for those who love supercharging others to become the best versions of themselves. The assistant will focus on executing the day-to-day and one-off tasks that don’t necessarily need to be done by him, allowing him to focus on running the business.
The ideal candidate is someone who wants to be a career assistant or Chief of Staff—in other words, your ambition is to help your principal 10x what they’re able to achieve.
What You’ll Do:
- Manage and prioritize all internal and external communications, including texts, group chats, email, and Slack.
- Serve as a gatekeeper for inbound requests, ensuring appropriate triaging and only escalating or involving leadership when necessary.
- Maintain prompt response standards: messages within 24 hours, emails within 36 hours, and ensure a clean, organized list of follow-ups.
- Ensure executive is on time and well-prepared for all meetings, engagements, and responsibilities.
- Partner with the Chief of Staff to maintain the CRM, proactively engage key contacts, and coordinate thoughtful outreach (e.g., birthday notes or small gifts).
- Support event and hospitality coordination, including home/hotel setup and space planning for dinners or gatherings.
- Help prioritize and support wellness routines by coordinating with external partners (e.g., trainers, chefs, or wellness professionals).
Who You Are:
- 3+ years of experience as an executive or personal assistant, ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment.
- Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented, with a strong ability to manage complex calendars, inboxes, and task lists without letting things slip through the cracks.
- A proactive team player who enjoys planning and logistics—someone who naturally takes ownership of coordinating group activities, creating detailed schedules, and ensuring follow-through.
- Strong interpersonal skills and a service-oriented mindset. You take pride in anticipating needs and going the extra mile to support the people you work with.
