Executive Assistant - CEO

About the Role

We are looking for a high-leverage Executive Assistant to act as a strategic right hand to our CEO. This is not a typical administrative position. Beyond handling calendar management and travel coordination in a fast-paced, chaotic environment, you will play an active role in driving operational efficiency.

We need a clear-thinking, proactive problem solver who can jump right in without needing hand-holding. You will analyze data, build reports, identify operational gaps, and bring solutions to the table before issues arise.

Financial Literacy: Comfort with numbers, spreadsheets, financial statements, and basic business finance principles.

Time Zone Agility: Willingness and technical setup to work asynchronously and align with the CEO’s shifting global schedule.
