Role Summary

We are building a pool of highly capable Executive / Administrative Virtual Assistants to support founders, executives, and senior operators across multiple industries.

This role is designed for individuals who excel in structure, communication, and high-level operational coordination. You will act as a key support layer to business leaders, helping them stay organized, focused, and effective in their day-to-day operations.

This role is primarily focused on internal executive and operational support, with occasional external communication responsibilities depending on the client setup and business needs.

While specific responsibilities may vary depending on the client you are assigned to, your work will consistently involve executive-level coordination, communication support, and operational execution.

This is a high-trust role where discretion, reliability, and proactive execution are essential.

Key Responsibilities

Executive & Calendar Management

  • Manage complex calendars and coordinate meetings across multiple stakeholders and time zones
  • Schedule and reschedule appointments based on shifting priorities
  • Ensure executives are prepared for meetings with relevant context and materials
  • Track follow-ups and ensure commitments are actioned

Communication & Inbox Management

  • Monitor and manage executive inboxes daily
  • Prioritize, organize, and flag important messages
  • Draft professional responses based on provided guidelines
  • Escalate urgent or sensitive communication when necessary

Operational Coordination

  • Track ongoing priorities, tasks, and internal initiatives
  • Ensure deadlines, deliverables, and follow-ups are organized and monitored
  • Maintain clarity across multiple moving projects
  • Support execution of day-to-day operational needs

Meeting Support & Documentation

  • Prepare meeting agendas and supporting materials
  • Take structured meeting notes and document key decisions
  • Track action items and follow up on completion
  • Ensure accountability across stakeholders

Cross-Department & External Coordination

  • Support communication between internal departments (operations, sales, marketing, finance, etc.)
  • Coordinate with external stakeholders such as vendors, partners, or client-side contacts when required
  • Help ensure alignment and information flow across all parties
  • Assist in resolving coordination gaps between internal and external stakeholders

Administrative & Strategic Support

  • Conduct research and prepare summaries for decision-making
  • Assist in organizing reports, documents, and internal files
  • Support ad hoc operational and strategic tasks as needed
  • Provide general high-level administrative assistance

Scope Flexibility (Important)

This is a pooled role. While the core responsibilities above remain consistent, specific tasks, tools, and workflows may vary depending on the client you are assigned to.

You may be placed in roles supporting:

  • A business owner directly
  • A founder or executive team
  • A leadership function within a growing organization

Candidates who demonstrate strong performance may also be considered for more specialized or senior operational roles over time.

Once matched, you will be onboarded into a specific client environment with a clearly defined scope of work, tools, and expectations aligned to their business needs.

Depending on client requirements and role allocation, some placements may operate on reduced or adjusted weekly hours. Final workload and schedule will be confirmed during client matching and onboarding.
