Executive Assistant to CEO

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE CEO

Fully remote | Full-time, 1099/ contractor | Monday-Friday, US Eastern Time business hours, with availability for urgent items

ABOUT THE ROLE

A fast-growing, founder-led company is hiring a remote Executive Assistant to work directly alongside its CEO. The CEO is growing fast on social media, personally runs the company’s highest-value sales, and is also the creative strategist on client ad accounts. This role exists to remove those bottlenecks: organize him, protect his time and keep everything moving, so he can focus on content and on selling to high-net-worth clients. This is not a passive support role. The CEO wants a partner who builds the structure, holds him to it and tells him what he needs to hear. The single goal of this role is to buy back the CEO’s time. This role is focused on the business. Household and family logistics are handled by a separate on-site Life Manager.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Calendar and priorities Own and defend the CEO’s calendar. Build the day around his highest-value work (content, high-value sales calls, consultations) and hold him to it. Run a daily priority list so nothing important gets pushed aside by noise. Triage the inbox and messages: handle what you can, flag what needs him, and close loops. Removing bottlenecks Track every deliverable, approval and decision waiting on the CEO, including creative strategy for client ad accounts, and drive turnaround so client work does not stall. Act as the single intake point for company reporting: collect, review and present short digests instead of passing raw reports through. Coordinate follow-ups across the team so approvals and decisions keep moving. Sales, content and offers support Schedule and prepare high-value sales calls, consultations and coaching calls: briefing notes beforehand, CRM updates and follow-ups afterwards. Keep the social media content pipeline on schedule: recording blocks, coordination with editors and the team, and the publishing calendar. Support the launch and delivery of new offers (coaching, consultations): scheduling, documents and logistics. Travel and administration Book business travel and build itineraries. Handle business admin: documents, agreements, expense tracking. Systems and tools Build and maintain the operating layer: trackers, SOPs, checklists and recurring process documentation. Expected fluency: Google Workspace, Slack, a project management tool (ClickUp, Notion or equivalent), a CRM, spreadsheets, and daily use of AI assistants.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

In the first 90 days you have taken the calendar, inbox triage and reporting flow off the CEO’s plate, there is a live tracker of everything waiting on him, and client creative work no longer sits on his desk for weeks. By 6-12 months you are the CEO’s right hand: the business runs on a weekly rhythm you built, nothing depends on him remembering it, and his time goes to content and high-value sales.
