We are looking for a seasoned Executive Assistant to support our Chief People Officer, keep People Operations projects moving, and serve as our in-country lead in the Philippines. Our Philippines team works fully remotely, and this role is the local point of contact for employees, counsel, and vendors, and the person who keeps our Philippine entity compliant.

This is a fast-paced role where priorities change often and sometimes compete. You will thrive here if you re-plan quickly, stay calm under pressure, and keep work moving.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Manage the CPO’s calendar, communications, meeting preparation, and travel across multiple time zones.

• Assist in the preparation of executive and Board materials, and track action items through to completion.

• Manage all People Operations projects, following up with project owners and flagging risks early.

• Work with local counsel and service providers to keep our Philippine entity compliant with SEC, BIR, DOLE, local permit, and statutory requirements.

• Manage local vendors, equipment, and administration for the Philippine entity.
• Support departmental administration, including invoices, expense tracking, and budget reconciliation.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE:

• 7+ years of experience as an executive assistant supporting C-suite or senior executives.

• Experience coordinating multiple projects at once and following through to on-time delivery.

• Prior night shift experience supporting US-based or international leaders, and comfort sustaining that schedule long term.

• The agility to manage competing and changing priorities without losing quality.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Advanced Microsoft 365 skills and experience with project management tools such as Monday.com.

• Sound judgment and complete discretion with confidential information.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience with Philippine corporate or employment compliance.

• Experience supporting an HR or People leader.
