Executive Assistant — Research, Drafting & Operations Support (AI-Augmented) ABOUT THE ROLE I'm a solo founder running a consulting and advisory practice. I work fast, think in systems, and lean heavily on AI tools and a structured knowledge base to get a lot done with a small footprint. I'm looking for a sharp, reliable Executive Assistant who can take real work off my plate — not just calendar management, but research, drafting, document production, and the operational glue that keeps everything moving. This is a long-term, ongoing engagement. I want someone I can build a working relationship with over months and years, who learns how I think and gets more valuable over time. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO The work falls into four buckets: 1. Knowledge & Project Work (the core of the role) - Research topics and tools, then synthesize findings into clear, decision-ready summaries (comparisons, pros/cons, recommendations). - Draft and format documents: memos, plans, proposals, briefs, internal reference pages, and polished deliverables. - Maintain and organize a knowledge base (Notion and/or Confluence) — creating pages, structuring information, keeping things current and findable. - Prepare materials ahead of meetings and clean up notes and transcripts after. - Comfort with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) is a big plus — I use them daily and want a partner who can too. 2. Scheduling & Calendar - Own my calendar: book, reschedule, and protect focus time. - Coordinate meetings across time zones and handle the back-and-forth. - Set reminders and keep me ahead of deadlines and commitments. 3. Staff & Contractor Coordination - Act as a point of contact for contractors and collaborators. - Track tasks, follow up on deliverables, and keep projects on schedule. - Help onboard and coordinate other freelancers as the team grows. 4. Personal Administration - Handle personal scheduling, appointments, and reminders. - Manage occasional errands-by-proxy (research, bookings, purchases, follow-ups). - Help keep the line between work and personal life organized, not blurred. WHO YOU ARE - Excellent written English. You can take a rough idea and turn it into something clear and well-organized without hand-holding. - Strong researcher — resourceful, accurate, and good at knowing when something is "good enough" vs. needs another pass. - Detail-obsessed and dependable. Things don't fall through the cracks with you. - Proactive. You anticipate needs and flag problems early instead of waiting to be told. - Discreet and trustworthy. You'll have access to sensitive business and personal information and will handle it with care. - Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving solo founder who context-switches a lot. TOOLS YOU SHOULD KNOW (or learn quickly) - Notion and/or Confluence - Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365 (calendar, docs, drive, email) - AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) - General comfort picking up new software fast NICE TO HAVE - Experience supporting founders, executives, or consultants. - Familiarity with business/operations concepts (you don't need to be an expert, but you shouldn't be lost when I talk strategy or process). - Light project-management or coordination experience. LOGISTICS - Hours: 4-8 hrs/week to start, flexible / scaling - Rate: $20-30/hr - Start: ASAP HOW TO APPLY In your proposal, please: 1. Briefly describe a time you took a messy or open-ended task and turned it into a clean, useful deliverable. 2. Tell me which AI tools you've used and how. 3. Skip the generic template — a short, specific, well-written proposal tells me more than a long one. (Feel free to start your reply with the word "Foundry" so I know you read this.) I read every application personally. Looking forward to finding the right person.
