Job description
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.
Requirements
IDEAL CANDIDATE
- 3+ years as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff or equivalent to a founder, CEO or senior executive, ideally in a fast-growing or entrepreneurial company.
- Proven remote experience: you have run an executive's day without being in the room.
- Fluent professional English, written and spoken.
- Able to work US Eastern Time business hours consistently, with reliable internet and a quiet workspace.
- Strong administrative and operational backbone. You build systems, you don't just follow them.
- Exceptional discretion with confidential business and financial information.
- Tech-savvy: you master Google Workspace, Slack, a project management tool (ClickUp, Notion or equivalent), a CRM, spreadsheets, and daily use of AI assistants.
You will thrive here if
- You are direct, unflappable and comfortable with a straightforward, high-energy, fast-moving principal. Feedback is candid and immediate, and nothing is personal.
- You are willing to push back and tell the CEO what he needs to hear. He wants a partner who holds him accountable, not someone who waits for instructions.
- You are energized by walking into disorder and creating structure.
Nice to have
- Experience in a marketing agency, paid ads or creative production environment.
- Social media or content operations experience.
- Experience supporting a founder who sells coaching, consulting or premium offers.
