Executive Assistant

About the Role We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to work directly with our Founder and take ownership of the administrative, logistical, and organisational work surrounding his day-to-day. This is not a traditional Virtual Assistant or task-based role. We’re looking for someone who can develop into a highly trusted partner: someone who learns how the Founder operates, exercises good judgement, and increasingly anticipates what needs to happen without requiring constant direction. Initially, you'll take ownership of areas such as inbox and calendar management, travel, follow-ups, research, documentation, and personal and business administration. Over time, the goal is for you to proactively protect the Founder's time, identify what requires attention, and handle matters independently wherever appropriate. What You'll Be Doing Manage and organise the Founder's inbox, filtering noise, prioritising important correspondence, and handling straightforward matters where appropriate Own calendar management, including scheduling, rescheduling, and coordinating meetings Follow up with internal and external stakeholders and ensure conversations, commitments, meetings, and actions don't fall through the cracks Research, coordinate, and book travel, including flights, accommodation, and transportation Collect and organise invoices and receipts for business and personal expenses, verify billing information, and coordinate with the relevant finance contacts Liaise with internal teams, accountants, vendors, service providers, and other relevant contacts on the Founder's behalf Handle general personal administration, logistics, bookings, and coordination Conduct research and comparisons, distilling information into clear findings and recommendations Turn voice notes, ideas, and unstructured instructions into organised documents, Notion pages, Miro boards, action plans, and checklists Translate instructions received throughout the day into clear actions and follow through on execution Use AI tools extensively to improve the speed and quality of day-to-day work Identify repetitive administrative tasks that can be streamlined or automated Maintain appropriate confidentiality when handling sensitive personal, financial, and business information Over time, proactively manage priorities, anticipate requirements, and protect the Founder's time What We're Looking For Previous Executive Assistant experience, ideally supporting a Founder, CEO, or senior executive Exceptional organisational skills and reliability Excellent written and spoken English A proactive approach - you naturally identify what needs to happen rather than waiting for the next instruction Strong judgement and confidence making appropriate decisions independently High attention to detail and strong follow-through Comfortable receiving incomplete or unstructured instructions and turning them into organised actions Strong research and problem-solving skills Tech-native and comfortable working across tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, Google Workspace, Miro, and similar platforms Comfortable adopting AI tools and automations to improve workflows; technical expertise is not required High level of discretion and trustworthiness when handling confidential information The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive in This Role You don't just complete a task and move on. You think about what comes next. If you're asked to organise a trip, you don't just book the flight — you consider the hotel, transport, calendar implications, receipts, and anything else that needs to happen around it. If you're given a messy five-minute voice note, you can turn it into an organised set of actions without needing every detail explained. And if something important is at risk of being forgotten, you're comfortable following up and making sure it gets done. The goal is simple: over time, you should know how the Founder operates well enough to anticipate and handle things before he needs to ask. How to apply You can send an email to [email protected].
