Executive Assistant

Location: Remote (US-based preferred — Eastern Time zone required)

Employment Type: 1099 Independent Contractor

About the role

A fast-growing, high-end company is looking for a sharp, proactive Executive Assistant to support the CEO directly. The business operates in a dynamic, client-facing environment and is in a strong growth phase with expansion plans underway. The team currently includes 20+ employees across in-person and remote functions. This is a newly created role. The CEO currently manages most operations, marketing oversight, and team coordination personally — and needs a right-hand person to take ownership of day-to-day operations so he can focus on growth and strategic priorities. You'll be the bridge between the CEO and the team: managing communication, tracking projects, overseeing a remote team, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love creating order from chaos, and can operate independently — this role is for you.

Requirements

• 3-5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, or Operations Manager supporting a CEO/executive
• Proven ability to build systems, SOPs, and organizational processes from scratch
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — professional, clear, and confident
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Self-starter who takes initiative and works independently
• Comfortable managing and coordinating remote teams
• Proficient in Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Gmail)
