Beyond daily administrative tasks, this position offers significant exposure to projects and areas across the business and could move up to a Chief of Staff role in time.

  • Project & Process Improvement : Initiate and manage new projects, such as outbound newsletters or internal process improvements.
  • Logistics : Coordinate travel booking and logistics.
  • Operational Support : Support administrative and operational functions to improve overall workflow efficiency.
  • Required Skills & Experience

  • PERFECT English (Written) : Flawless written English communication skills are required.
  • Tech Stack : Strong proficiency in scheduling, email, and calendar management. Comfortable and experienced using Google Calendar, Zoom and Microsoft Products (Word, Excel, etc.).
  • Practice Management : Familiarity with or ability to quickly train on practice management software (Microsoft product).
  • 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).
