Executive Assistant to Founder and Entrepreneur

Burnett Specialists

Executive & Personal Assistant

We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and tech-forward Executive & Personal Assistant to support a high-profile entrepreneur. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for someone who can manage a complex calendar, keep track of moving pieces, anticipate needs, and confidently interact with everyone from executives and business leaders to athletes, families, and other members of the community.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and manage a complex executive calendar across multiple platforms, including Apple, Google, and Outlook calendars
  • Coordinate meetings, appointments, travel, and shifting priorities while preventing conflicts and building in realistic buffers
  • Prepare daily schedules and ensure the executive has the information needed to stay ahead of the day
  • Manage agreed inboxes, draft routine communications, track contacts, and follow up on outstanding items
  • Coordinate extensive domestic and international travel, including private and commercial travel, itineraries, changes, and post-trip follow-up
  • Listen closely to verbal direction and turn conversations and ideas into clear tasks, priorities, and next steps
  • Keep the executive updated on progress without needing to be chased
  • Provide a steady in-office presence and help keep the office running smoothly
  • Welcome visitors, prepare meeting spaces, receive packages and mail, coordinate meals and occasional errands, and troubleshoot day-to-day needs
  • Handle agreed personal appointments and life-admin tasks with complete discretion
  • Coordinate closely with the Operations Manager and other team members to ensure information and follow-up do not fall through the cracks
  • Use technology, AI tools, and automation to improve organization, communication, scheduling, and day-to-day efficiency
  • Assist with presentations, documents, and other materials as needed

Requirements:

  • 25+ years of experience supporting a busy executive, founder, entrepreneur, public figure, or similarly fast-paced individual
  • Strong calendar management experience with the ability to prioritize competing demands
  • Excellent follow-through and attention to detail
  • Someone who naturally anticipates needs and stays one step ahead
  • Comfortable taking verbal direction and turning it into action
  • Strong communication skills and sound judgment
  • Professional, warm, confident, and comfortable interacting with a wide range of personalities
  • Able to remain calm and composed under pressure and not take things personally
  • Highly discreet and trustworthy with confidential and personal information
  • Tech-forward and comfortable learning new systems and tools
  • Experience using AI tools and/or automation is highly preferred
  • Experience with Canva is a plus
  • ClickUp or similar task/workflow management experience is a plus
  • Genuine interest in women's sports, leadership, entrepreneurship, and/or women's empowerment is a plus
  • Must be comfortable working 100% in office
