Executive Secretary

Wanna join the adventure?

We are looking for a highly capable and detail-oriented Executive Secretary to provide one-on-one support to our CEO. This role goes far beyond standard administrative duties.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, can operate with complete discretion, and enjoy being the right hand to a CEO, we would like to hear from you.

About this Role:

• Own and manage the CEO’s professional and personal calendar end to end including
• board meetings, leadership offsites, personal appointments, and family events
• Stay on top of the CEO’s inbox, draft and respond to correspondence, prioritize critical items, and ensure timely follow up
• Prepare agendas, briefings, and materials in advance, ensure the CEO is fully prepared for all engagements, track action items and follow up as needed
• Arrange complex international travel and itineraries, manage last minute changes, overlapping commitments, and coordinate seamlessly between business and personal travel
• Manage personal matters and commitments that intersect with the CEO’s professional life with discretion and efficiency
• Act as the first point of contact for requests to the CEO, filter and prioritize effectively, and protect the CEO’s time
• Handle sensitive information with the highest level of confidentiality and professionalism
• Anticipate needs, resolve issues before they arise, and keep the CEO one step ahead at all times
