Job description

Overview

Executive Assistant - at Somewhere. Remote - South Africa or LATAM. Salary : $1,500 - $2,000 USD / month (based on experience and skill set). Work Hours : Monday-Friday, 9 : 00 AM - 6 : 00 PM PT.

About The Role

A fast-growing tech-driven company is seeking a strategic Executive Assistant to partner with the CEO. This is not a traditional EA role — you’ll act as a thought partner, advisor, and operator, helping prioritize, plan, and execute at a high level to ensure the CEO’s time is leveraged effectively and company objectives are advanced. The ideal candidate combines business acumen, project management skills, and critical thinking to thrive in a fast-paced, tech-oriented environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as a sounding board for the CEO, evaluating options, risks, and outcomes.
  • Provide insights and recommendations on business priorities, including hiring, partnerships, and operational improvements.
  • Anticipate needs and proactively propose solutions.
  • Own the art of prioritization, understanding what matters most at any given time.
  • Structure the CEO’s day for maximum efficiency and accountability.
  • Ensure follow-through on critical initiatives.
  • Support cross-functional projects, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met.
  • Implement processes and tools (automation, workflows, dashboards) to streamline operations.
  • Manage and draft email correspondence on behalf of the CEO.
  • Prepare agendas, briefs, and talking points for internal and external meetings.
  • Join or lead calls when required, representing the CEO and company effectively.
  • Stay fluent in the company’s technical environment and core value proposition.
  • Understand product discussions and industry terminology to communicate with credibility.
  • Leverage tools like Postman, Slack, and AI-powered platforms to enhance productivity.
  • Light calendar and scheduling support.
  • Handle follow-ups, reminders, and task tracking.
  • Additional responsibilities as needed to support the CEO and company objectives.

What Sets This Role Apart

  • Strong business acumen and experience in strategic discussions.
  • Comfort operating at an executive level (M&A, investor talks, scaling decisions).
  • Ability to see around corners and manage ambiguity.
  • Balance of operational detail with big-picture thinking.
  • Minimum Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional experience with exposure to executive-level decision-making.
  • Background in consulting, project management, or operations strongly preferred.
  • Tech-savvy, with ability to quickly learn and navigate new platforms.
  • Exceptional organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Flexible, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required.
