Bilingual (Eng/Esp) Administrative Assistant to Founder (Growth Path to Executive Assistant)
Worldwide
We are hiring a highly reliable Administrative Assistant to support the Co-Founder & COO of a fast-growing, acquisition-driven company. The role centers on executing core administrative responsibilities with consistency and precision, including calendar management, travel coordination, and day-to-day operational support. This position is designed as a starting point for a long-term partnership. It offers the opportunity to grow into a high-trust, high-impact role with expanded scope and ownership over time. The foundation for that growth is consistent, flawless execution of the fundamentals. You will manage a complex calendar for the founder, ensuring schedules are organized, efficient, and aligned with priorities. You will coordinate travel end-to-end, including flights, accommodations, ground transportation, and itineraries. You will handle administrative tasks such as bookings, forms, scheduling, and coordination with speed and accuracy. You will also take on ad hoc requests and general tasks that reduce friction and allow the founder to stay focused on high-value work. Success in this role means the calendar runs smoothly, travel is seamless, and tasks are completed with strong follow-through. The founder should experience less operational noise and more time for strategic priorities. Over time, this role can expand to include ownership of projects, management of priorities, coordination of key initiatives, and deeper involvement in communications and relationships. Advancement in scope and responsibility will be based on demonstrated reliability, judgment, and execution. We are looking for someone with native-level fluency in both English and Spanish, strong organizational skills, and exceptional attention to detail. The ideal candidate is highly responsive, dependable, and clear in written communication. They take ownership of their work, stay organized in dynamic environments, and are comfortable using modern productivity tools, automation, and AI to improve execution. Experience supporting a founder or senior executive is preferred, along with experience managing calendars and coordinating travel. The right candidate approaches this role with a high standard of excellence and a desire to grow into a trusted partner over time.
