We’re Hiring an Executive Assistant for Our Online Education Startup
This virtual position is a contract to full-time hire role
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an entry-level assistant position. Must have several years of experience in administrative support and event planning (Preferred: 3+ years in C-Suite)
Do people say you’re a hyper-organized and detail-oriented perfectionist? You love creating spreadsheets and organizational systems to keep everything on track.
Do you speak the language of details? You make certain everything is done perfectly and naturally anticipate all the little things that could potentially go wrong.
Are you a problem solver and decision-maker, who can work independently to move a project forward and get everything done well in advance of deadlines?
Have you worked with high-level executives and deeply understand the importance of safeguarding their time, anticipating their needs, and making sure they are supported professionally and personally, so they can do their best work and lead the company?
If you answered “Yes!” to these questions, we might be a match made in heaven.
