Executive Assistant / Problem Solver (B2B Agency)

The Role: This is a pure execution role. You are the "hands" for the agency CEO. You will take over everything the CEO needs done but does not have the time to do. You will not be asked to invent high-level strategies; you will be asked to execute ad-hoc tasks, conduct deep research, and solve logistical bottlenecks flawlessly. This is a full-time, dedicated role (40 hours/week). Agency operations move fast. We require a strict 5-minute response time during core European business hours (CEST). You cannot fulfill this role if you are juggling other active clients, agencies, or studies. We require 100% focus during your shift. If you want a slow, predictable administrative job, do not apply. Responsibilities: * Executing ad-hoc, labor-heavy tasks directly assigned by the CEO. * Deep-dive research (e.g., business intelligence on competitors, personal logistics, navigating bureaucratic bottlenecks). * Filtering noise, organizing data, and presenting actionable summaries. Compensation: We do not play the "hourly game" of dragging out tasks. We pay a reliable hourly rate for zero-error execution and lightning-fast response times. * Rate: $4.00 - $7.00/hr (depending on experience). * Growth: A 5% rate increase every 6 months, provided you maintain strict response times and flawless execution. * The Math: At $6/hr, this is equivalent to roughly $1,000+ per month full-time. CRITICAL: How to Apply Do not send a generic cover letter. To be considered, you must do the following: 1. Start your proposal with this exact sentence: "I confirm I have zero overlapping commitments and am available for full-time, dedicated execution with a 5-minute response time during core CEST business hours." 2. Include a link to a 1-to-2-minute Loom video (to comply with Upwork ToS, ensure your video and description contain zero personal contact information). 3. In the video, introduce yourself and answer this exact scenario question: Scenario: I ask you to book a specific apartment for my upcoming business trip. However, when you try to book it, the host declines and says they are full, even though the calendar shows it is open. I am currently boarding a flight and cannot be reached for the next 5 hours. What are your exact, step-by-step actions?
