  • Operational Support : Support administrative and operational functions to improve overall workflow efficiency.
  • Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience : 4‑10+ years as an Executive Assistant or Virtual Assistant, ideally supporting senior‑level executives remotely. Paralegal experience acceptable.
  • Core Competencies

  • Proactivity : Highly proactive go‑getter who anticipates needs without explicit direction and is capable of reading between the lines to capture necessary details.
  • Autonomy : Capable of taking ownership and managing projects autonomously.
  • Detail & Growth

    Strong attention to detail and follow‑through, with a clear desire to grow responsibilities toward a future leadership position (Chief of Staff track).
