Fully Remote Executive Assistant to Founder of Fintech-focused Investment Firm

Fully Remote Executive Assistant to Founder of Fintech-focused InvestmentFirm

• New York, NY

Our client, the Founder of a fintech-focused investmentfirm, is seeking a superstar Executive Assistant/ Right-Hand Partner. The ideal candidate operates with a rare combination of polish and grit—someone who thrives in a high-energy, fast-paced environment and is comfortable working independently with minimal direction. This individual is not only exceptionally detail-oriented, but also proactive, agile, and capable of driving initiatives from 0 to 1 to completion. This is a fully remote role.

This role is less about having all the answers upfront and more about the ability to learn quickly, iterate in real time, communicate with clarity, and take full ownership across a wide range of responsibilities. You will act as a true extension of the Founder—anticipating needs, solving problems, and ensuring seamless execution across both professional and personal domains.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage inbox with the goal of reducing noise and surfacing only key communications
• Leverage and thoughtfully manage the Founder's network—coordinating high-touch introductions, curating relationships, and seamlessly orchestrating dinners, meetings, and small-scale events
• Take initiatives from concept through execution, navigating roadblocks independently
• Source, evaluate, and coordinate with external vendors, consultants, and partners
• Own and execute a wide range of business projects, often with ambiguity

REQUIREMENTS

• 10+ years in a relevant administrative capacity supporting entrepreneurs/founders within tech or finance
• Exceptionally strong ability to learn quickly and independently
• Highly intelligent with excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Strong research capabilities and comfort synthesizing complex information
• Comfortable working alone and owning projects end-to-end
• Clear, concise communicator (written and verbal)
• Calm and effective in ambiguous or evolving situations
• Proactive, resourceful, and execution-oriented
• Tech-savvy and comfortable using tools such as ChatGPT, Google Alerts, LinkedIn, CRM systems, and email platforms
• Bachelor's degree preferred
