Executive Assistant

About the Role You'll be the right hand to an entrepreneur running multiple fast-growing businesses in the US media and AI space. This is not a typical virtual assistant job where you get a list of tasks, sit quietly, and check boxes. This is a be in the arena role. You'll be on Zoom constantly - multiple times a day. Things will get dropped on your plate without warning. Priorities will shift. You'll need to manage digital operations, keep projects organized, handle research, draft communications, coordinate with a small team, and keep the trains running while the founder is focused on sales, content, and strategy. About the Company We're a startup holding company with multiple businesses: local media/newsletters, software products for media operators, a YouTube channel, consulting, and more. There's massive potential and real chaos. We move fast, we build fast, and we need someone who thrives in that environment. What You'll Do - Manage the founder's digital life: calendars, email triage, task organization, project tracking - Coordinate across a small remote team (Philippines-based and US-based) - Research, compile, and present information quickly and clearly - Draft emails, social posts, documents, and internal communications - Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) fluently to move 10x faster than a normal assistant - Manage ad hoc projects that get dropped on your plate with little notice - Keep things organized in ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace, and whatever tools we adopt next - Be a proactive problem-solver who flags issues before they become problems Who You Are - Near-perfect English - written and spoken. You'll be on Zoom with the founder and external parties regularly. - Fast. This is non-negotiable. If you're not fast, this role is not for you. We don't mean rushed - we mean efficient, sharp, and responsive. - Proactive. You don't wait for instructions. You see what needs doing and you do it. You ask smart questions. You anticipate. - Deeply internet-native. You live online. You understand tools, platforms, workflows, and digital communication intuitively. - Good at AI. You already use ChatGPT or Claude as part of your daily workflow, or you can learn fast. AI is how we do more with less. - Organized to a fault. Even when things are chaotic, you bring structure. - Dependable. When you say you'll do something, it gets done. No chasing required. - Comfortable with ambiguity. This is a startup. Things change. You adapt. Who Should NOT Apply - If you want a quiet, predictable job with a set to-do list - this role is not for you. - If you prefer to be left alone and work independently without regular interaction - this role is not for you. - If you're slow to respond, slow to learn, or slow to execute - this role is not for you. - If you need someone to tell you what to do every step of the way - this role is not for you. What We Offer - $1,200-$1,500 USD/month (full-time) - Full remote - work from anywhere - Work directly with a US entrepreneur building high-growth businesses - Real growth potential - as the company scales, so does your role and compensation - Fast-paced, high-learning environment where you'll level up constantly How to Apply Reply/Apply with: 1.
