ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-trust, high-ownership Executive & Personal Assistant role supporting a founder and family. You will run the executive’s schedule and communication flow, keep inboxes organized, manage logistics (travel/events), coordinate vendors and personal assets/properties, and help the team stay organized with the tech stack.
This is not a task-by-task VA role. We need someone “all in” with executive-level judgment, strong written English, and proactive follow-through.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN (RESPONSIBILITIES)
Executive schedule & coordination
- Manage personal and business calendar with strong prioritization and protection of focus time
- Coordinate meetings across time zones, confirm details, prep agendas/briefs, and ensure follow-ups happen
Inbox + communications gatekeeping
- Review incoming emails daily and keep inboxes organized (labels, rules, triage)
- Draft replies in the executive’s voice, escalate urgent items, and close loops
- Handle inbound calls and messaging (screen, route, respond, and document next steps)
Social media support
- Manage personal social media profiles and inbound messages (DMs/comments)
- Track conversations and ensure follow-ups are not missed
Culture calendar execution
- Execute the “culture calendar” for the family and team members (birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, gifts, key moments)
- Keep reminders and planning organized so nothing is last-minute
Tech stack support
- Help manage the team’s tech stack (accounts, permissions, subscriptions, renewals)
- Basic troubleshooting and coordination with vendors/support
- Use AI tools to accelerate drafting, summarizing, research, and SOP creation
Asset + property management
- Manage personal vehicles and properties: utilities, vendor sourcing/management, scheduling maintenance
- Track insurance policies, renewals, and key documents
- Own vendor relationships and negotiate pricing/terms where possible
Travel & events
- Plan and book travel, build clean itineraries, handle changes quickly
- Support events and in-person meetings as needed
Family support
- Support Spouse with various tasks as needed (coordination, research, scheduling, vendor calls, follow-ups)
WORKING STYLE + AVAILABILITY EXPECTATIONS
- You will work mostly on US standard time (with meaningful daily overlap).
- You have flexibility during weekdays (gym/errands/etc are fine without asking).
- You must be highly responsive and reliable:
- During agreed working windows: prompt responses and same-day execution.
- Outside standard hours: availability for evenings/weekends as needed.
- You control your schedule as long as meetings are attended and responsiveness remains high.
TRAVEL REQUIREMENT (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
- Must be able to travel to the US or other locations at least 1x per quarter for 1–2 weeks.
- Must have a valid passport and be willing/able to obtain appropriate travel authorization (tourist/business visa/ESTA, etc.) as needed.
