Job description

Job Title : Executive Assistant (Startup-Focused)

Type : Full-time, Independent Contractor

Location : Remote

Work Hours : 9 : 00 AM - 5 : 00 PM Eastern Time (ET)

Overview

We are looking for a highly adaptable and intelligent Executive Assistant to support a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment. This is not a traditional EA role—instead, it requires someone eager to take on diverse responsibilities ranging from operations to marketing, sales, and campaign management. The right candidate is resourceful, quick to learn, and thrives in dynamic startup settings.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the executive across a variety of functions : marketing, sales, operations, and administrative needs.
  • Manage ad hoc projects that may range from research to manual or operational tasks.
  • Assist with campaign management, track progress, and ensure deliverables are met.
  • Act as a trusted point of contact with internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Handle customer communication with professionalism and clarity.
  • Proactively anticipate needs and execute tasks without requiring close supervision.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Highly adaptable with the ability to switch between different types of tasks quickly.
  • Fast learner who enjoys tackling new challenges and picking up new skills.
  • Low ego, high energy—willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
  • Thrives in a startup environment with shifting priorities.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • 1-5 years of experience in operations, executive support, or a similar role.
  • Prior exposure to startups or high‑growth businesses preferred.
  • Comfortable with technology, project management tools, and digital platforms.
  • Age preference : candidates in their 20s with the energy and drive to grow.
