Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant

You keep the executive team organized, prepared and moving: calendars protected, details handled before they become problems, and important follow-ups that do not slip.

Remote · Latin America · $1,800-$2,600 USD/month · Full-time · Independent Contractor · Monday to Friday · US business hours with Pacific overlap

Why this role exists

Our client is a fast-moving US team that needs dependable executive support across scheduling, inbox management, follow-through and day-to-day operations. The environment is lean, busy and direct.

What you'll own

• Calendars, meetings and travel, with close attention to timing and priorities
• Inboxes kept organized, with clear draft replies when appropriate
• Follow-ups, deadlines and action items across multiple workstreams
• Meeting notes, summaries and simple operating documents
• Coordination across internal teams and external partners to keep work moving
• Confidential information, handled with care and good judgment

Why this is interesting

• You work directly with the executive team
• Leadership trusts you with high-stakes scheduling and sensitive details
• The team feels lighter, not busier, because you are there

What we're looking for

• Experience supporting a founder, executive or senior operator in a fast-paced environment
• You spot loose ends and close them. You do not wait to be told twice
• Comfortable with Google Workspace, calendar tools and task tracking systems
• Calm when priorities change, able to switch context without losing the thread
• English C1, written and spoken

Bonus

• Experience supporting executives in startups, agencies or small operating teams
• Experience coordinating personal tasks alongside business tasks
• Spanish and English fluency

What success looks like

First 90 days

The calendar is organized, meeting prep is tighter and leadership is not chasing routine follow-ups. Inbox triage, scheduling and travel run cleanly without constant correction, and you understand how the executive team likes information presented and how decisions get made.

Ongoing

Leadership trusts you with high-stakes scheduling, sensitive details and day-to-day follow-through. Fewer tasks fall through the cracks, and the team feels lighter, not busier, because you are there.
