Job description

We're looking for an Executive Assistant to support a senior executive at a well-established clinical skincare brand with a global omnichannel presence. You will own calendar management, travel booking, and meeting prioritization for an executive leading a team of 30 or more people across a fast-moving consumer beauty business.

This role requires more than organizational skills. The executive moves quickly, has a high volume of incoming meeting requests, and needs an EA with the critical thinking to prioritize correctly — understanding which meetings deserve time on the calendar, which can be delegated, and which can be declined. If you have supported a senior leader managing a large team, think clearly under pressure, and take genuine ownership of your principal's time, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
  • This role requires availability Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM US Pacific Time
  • Support a senior executive at a globally recognized consumer brand with strong omnichannel scale
  • Stable, long-term role with clear ownership and direct access to senior leadership

What You'll Work On

Calendar Management and Meeting Prioritization

  • Own the executive's calendar end to end with complete accuracy at all times
  • Triage incoming meeting requests and apply sound judgment about what should be scheduled, deferred, delegated, or declined
  • Protect the executive's focus time and ensure the calendar reflects the right priorities for a leader managing a team of 30 or more
  • Prepare the executive with relevant context and materials ahead of every commitment
  • Resolve scheduling conflicts proactively and without creating friction for stakeholders

Travel Booking and Logistics

  • Book and manage all domestic and international travel including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and dining reservations
  • Build detailed itineraries with all confirmations, logistics, and timing buffers organized and shared in advance
  • Handle last-minute changes, cancellations, and re-routes efficiently and without disruption
  • Anticipate travel-related needs and coordinate logistics end to end so the executive can focus entirely on the work

Communications and Correspondence

  • Manage the executive's inbox, flag priority items, and draft responses as needed
  • Communicate professionally on behalf of the executive with internal stakeholders, external partners, and vendors
  • Ensure all follow-ups, confirmations, and open items are tracked and closed without prompting

Administrative and Operational Support

  • Handle expense reporting, document management, and recurring administrative tasks accurately and on time
  • Support the executive with ad hoc projects and special requests as they arise
  • Maintain organized systems across email, calendar, and documents so everything is easy to find and always current

What You Bring

  • Proven experience as an Executive Assistant supporting a senior leader managing a team of 30 or more people — this is a hard requirement
  • Strong critical thinking skills with the ability to independently assess and prioritize meeting requests based on the executive's goals and workload
  • Expert calendar management skills with a track record of keeping a complex, high-volume calendar running without errors or gaps
  • Excellent international and domestic travel booking experience with strong attention to logistics and detail
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills with a polished and professional tone
  • Proactive and self-directed with strong follow-through on every open item
  • Highly discreet and reliable when handling sensitive business information
  • Available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM US Pacific Time

Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting a senior executive in a consumer goods, beauty, retail, or lifestyle brand environment
  • Background managing travel and calendars for executives with large, cross-functional teams
  • Familiarity with tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Concur, or similar expense and travel platforms
  • Experience working in a corporate environment where stakeholder management and professionalism are non-negotiable

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume
  2. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your experience supporting a senior executive with a large team, and walking through how you approach a situation where the executive has five meeting requests for the same time slot and you have to decide what gets scheduled

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you are a sharp, organized EA who can manage a complex calendar, book seamless travel, and apply real judgment to what deserves a senior executive's time, this role gives you the stability and the direct access to do your best work.
