We're looking for a highly organized, confident Executive Assistant to support a fast-moving US-based executive who runs multiple businesses across technology, recruitment, and e-commerce.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys bringing structure to chaos, and isn't afraid to hold senior stakeholders accountable to timelines and priorities.

  • Own project timelines and track deliverables across different teams
  • Create agendas and ensure meetings are structured and outcome-driven
  • Follow up with internal managers to ensure action items are completed
  • Proactively flag risks, delays, and blockers
  • Organise priorities and help translate ideas into execution
  • Keep key initiatives moving forward when the Executive is in back-to-back meetings
  • Support light decision-making and operational follow-ups over time
What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years' experience as an Executive Assistant, Project Coordinator, or Operations Assistant
  • Strong project management and organisational skills
  • Confident communicator who can be assertive when needed
  • Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and managers
  • Highly structured thinker who comes prepared to meetings; proactive, detail oriented, and reliable
  • Able to manage multiple projects across different business lines
  • Tech savvy (comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, Notion, Asana, Click Up, Slack, etc.)
Nice to Have
  • Experience supporting founders, executives, or leadership teams
  • Experience working across multiple businesses or startups
  • Strong decision making and problem solving ability
  • Exposure to tech or product teams
What Success Looks Like
  • Meetings are structured and productive
  • Projects move forward on time
  • Action items don't get forgotten
  • The Executive feels supported, organised, and held accountable
