  • 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
