Summary

I am a busy CEO seeking a highly proactive, organized, and experienced Virtual Executive Assistant. While there will be some business-related tasks, the primary focus of this role (about 70-80%) will be managing my personal life so I can focus on my company. I am looking for a true "right-hand" person who has prior experience supporting C-level executives. You should be someone who anticipates needs before I have to ask, handles roadblocks independently, and communicates seamlessly. Key Responsibilities: Heavy Personal Admin: Scheduling personal and medical appointments, managing personal reservations, and handling day-to-day life logistics. Vendor Coordination: Researching, hiring, and coordinating with household vendors (contractors, cleaners, maintenance, etc.). Travel Management: Booking and managing complex domestic and international travel (flights, hotels, transport) for both business and personal/family trips. Purchasing & Research: Buying gifts, ordering supplies, and conducting ad-hoc research for personal projects. Business Support: Light calendar management, email triage, and scheduling professional meetings as needed. Requirements: CEO/C-Level Experience: You must have a proven track record of acting as an Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant to a CEO, Founder, or high-net-worth individual. U.S. Communication Capabilities: You MUST have the ability to reliably call and text U.S. phone numbers (e.g., to coordinate with local vendors, call doctors' offices, text me updates). Please specify how you do this (e.g., Google Voice, Skype, OpenPhone) in your application. Time Zone: You must be available and online during U.S. East Coast business hours (EST/EDT). Exceptional English: Flawless written and spoken English is required to communicate professionally on my behalf. Discretion: High level of confidentiality and professionalism when handling personal data and credit cards.
