Job description

We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to support the CEO of a fast-moving digital marketing agency. This role covers the full range of EA responsibilities β€” inbox and calendar management, CRM upkeep, legal documentation, and client onboarding β€” but it does not stop there. We want someone who thinks independently, takes initiative, and moves tasks forward without being nudged.

This is an early-career role built for someone who is hungry to learn, AI-curious, and wants to grow into broader operations and strategy work over time. If you need a lot of hand-holding, this is not the right fit. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and get satisfaction from keeping things airtight, keep reading.

Why You'll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually (starting Day 1)
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you’re most productive
  • Real growth path into operations and strategic responsibilities as you prove yourself
  • Direct exposure to agency leadership, sales, and cross-functional projects from day one

What You'll Work On

Executive Support

  • Manage the CEO's inbox and calendar, prioritizing what matters and filtering out what does not
  • Draft and send routine correspondence independently without waiting to be told
  • Track open follow-ups across conversations and commitments and make sure nothing gets dropped

CRM and Sales Support

  • Maintain HubSpot with clean, accurate pipeline and contact records
  • Support client onboarding documentation and coordinate handoffs
  • Track sales stages and keep data updated without being asked

Documentation and Contracts

  • Draft MSAs, NDAs, and basic agreements using established templates
  • Coordinate signature collection and maintain organized, accessible contract records
  • Flag anything that needs legal review before it moves forward

Operations and Strategy Projects

  • Research vendors, tools, and processes and deliver clear, actionable recommendations
  • Support project coordination across marketing, sales, and operations as needed
  • Help identify and implement workflow improvements using AI and automation tools
  • Take on discrete strategy projects as they arise and own them from brief to completion

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of experience in a high-level executive assistant, chief of staff, or equivalent role
  • Proven track record supporting a senior executive or founder in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent written and spoken English, C2 level
  • Availability to work EST hours
  • Strong organizational skills and genuine attention to detail
  • Comfort working independently with minimal oversight
  • Solid digital literacy and a willingness to learn new tools quickly
  • Proactive mindset: you see what needs to happen and you do it

Nice to Have

  • Experience with HubSpot or other CRM platforms
  • Familiarity with automation tools such as Zapier or Notion
  • Interest in AI that goes beyond basic ChatGPT use
  • Prior experience in a startup, agency, or fast-paced remote environment

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume
  2. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, walking through your relevant experience, and describing a specific situation where you managed competing priorities or kept a complex process on track without being micromanaged

If you are organized, self-directed, and ready to learn operations from the inside of a fast-moving agency, this role gives you the access, the ownership, and the room to grow.
