🌎 Work from any corner of the world and be a part of the #remoteworkrevolution!‼️

Scope of the role:

We’re a fast-moving media and digital business hiring an Executive Assistant / Program Manager to be the operational backbone of leadership.

This is not a passive admin role. You are the person who brings order to chaos, enforces structure, and ensures execution actually happens. You’ll combine high-level executive support with hands-on project and systems management, acting as a true force multiplier for leadership.

If you wait for instructions, this role will crush you. If you anticipate, organize, and follow through relentlessly, you’ll thrive.

Responsibilities:

1. Executive & Calendar Management

  • Own Google Calendar management across multiple executives and priorities
  • Schedule internal meetings, external calls, and live show recordings
  • Manage complex, multi-time-zone scheduling
  • Anticipate conflicts and resolve them before they surface
  • Protect executive time and keep calendars clean, realistic, and intentional

2. Show & Content Scheduling

  • Coordinate show and recording schedules end-to-end
  • Track guest availability, prep timelines, and episode deliverables
  • Ensure hosts, producers, and stakeholders are aligned before recordings
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date scheduling documentation
  • Prevent last-minute chaos through proactive planning

3. Project & Program Management

  • Act as a PM “super-admin” across initiatives
  • Track tasks, deadlines, owners, and dependencies
  • Follow up aggressively to ensure execution
  • Surface blockers early and keep projects moving
  • Provide leadership with clear status updates — no guessing, no chasing

4. Systems & Documentation

  • Build and maintain Notion as the single source of truth, including: SOPs, Project and initiative tracking, Show calendars and guest and outreach pipelines
  • Ensure documentation is clear, current, and actually used
  • Organize files, links, and reference materials so nothing gets lost

5. Communication & Coordination

  • Manage and structure Slack communication
  • Route messages, track action items, and close loops
  • Coordinate with internal teams and external partners
  • Draft agendas, internal notes, and summaries when needed
  • Keep conversations focused and execution-oriented

6. LinkedIn & External Organization

  • Track LinkedIn outreach, follow-ups, and responses
  • Maintain organized contact, guest, and partner lists
  • Ensure warm intros and follow-ups don’t fall through the cracks

Requirements:

  • 3+ years experience as an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, or Program Manager
  • Strong Notion expertise (non-negotiable)
  • Advanced Google Calendar management skills
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, Slack-heavy environments
  • Proven ability to juggle multiple projects without dropping details
  • Highly organized, proactive, and detail-obsessed
  • Thinks ahead instead of waiting to be told what to do

Nice to Have

  • Experience in media, podcasts, content, or digital businesses
  • Familiarity with show or content production workflows
  • Experience supporting founders or executives with rapidly changing priorities

What Success Looks Like

  • Calendars are clean, intentional, and conflict-free
  • Shows are scheduled smoothly and run on time
  • Projects move forward without leadership chasing updates
  • Notion is the unquestioned single source of truth
  • Leadership has mental space because execution is handled
