Executive Assistant - CEO

What you’ll do

We're hiring an Executive Assistant to support our CEO as a trusted partner and operational extension. This role is for a seasoned, self-directed professional who operates with sound judgment and executive presence, and who moves work forward without needing to be asked. You'll manage time, priorities, and communication so the CEO and leadership team can stay focused on what drives the most impact. The best partners in this role know what's needed before it's requested, make confident decisions within their remit, and keep the CEO's attention for the things that truly require it.

Time and prioritization

• Own the CEO's calendar with a clear understanding of business priorities, and make scheduling decisions independently rather than routing routine choices back for approval.
• Protect focus time as a non-negotiable. When time is blocked, it stays blocked, and it is never converted into meetings without explicit direction.
• Keep meeting load sustainable by challenging low-value requests, consolidating where possible, and maintaining a realistic daily rhythm that preserves energy and thinking time.
• Design a lean, purposeful cadence of recurring touchpoints. Default to concise written updates over standing meetings, and reserve live time for topics that need the CEO's voice.

Judgment and decision-making

• Operate with delegated authority. When the CEO says to go ahead, you decide, act, and inform afterward.
• Bring recommendations instead of open questions. When input is truly needed, present a clear point of view, the options considered, and the tradeoffs, so the CEO can approve in seconds.
• Know the CEO's preferences, standards, and priorities well enough to make the call he would make.

Scheduling, travel, and logistics

• Coordinate complex domestic and international travel, agendas, and briefings end to end, with details resolved before they become questions.
• Anticipate changes, resolve issues quickly and quietly, and ensure smooth transitions between engagements.

Preparation and follow-through

• Prepare meeting briefs, background materials, and talking points that are concise, insightful, and ready to use as delivered.
• Deliver finished work, not drafts that need rework. Presentation materials, speaker notes, and executive documents should reflect strong design sensibility and attention to brand, down to the final detail.
• Track decisions and action items to ensure consistent follow-up and accountability across the organization.

Communication and relationship management

• Draft and review internal communications that reflect the CEO's voice and intent with minimal editing.
• Serve as a liaison between the CEO, executive team, board members, and external partners, exercising discretion and offering informed perspective, not just relaying messages.
• Filter and prioritize inbound requests so the CEO sees what matters, when it matters.

Operational effectiveness

• Introduce lightweight systems that improve follow-through, communication, and visibility.
• Create structure that helps the CEO and leadership team move quickly without added complexity or added asks of the CEO.

Innovation and technology

• Use AI and modern productivity tools to streamline workflows, summarize materials, and enhance decision-making.
• Stay curious about new technology that can make executive operations smarter and faster.

Confidentiality and trust

• Handle sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.
• Build trusted relationships across all levels of the organization and maintain confidentiality at all times.

Who you are

• Located in the Eastern timezone and flexible to travel to Atlanta. If you are Atlanta based, our hope would be that you are in a hybrid role working alongside the CEO in person.
• A polished, composed executive partner with strong taste, sound judgment, and the confidence to hold and share a point of view.
• Proactive by default. You anticipate needs, take the next step, and close loops without prompting.
• Self-sufficient and decisive. You are comfortable making calls, managing ambiguity, and keeping momentum without frequent check-ins.
• A skilled, efficient communicator who knows when to speak up and when to simply get it done.
• Skilled at managing up: you guide the CEO's time and priorities diplomatically and hold boundaries that protect his effectiveness.
• Comfortable balancing strategic support with hands-on execution.

Your skill-set

• 10+ years as an Executive Assistant, including at least 3 years supporting a CEO 
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal direction and to exercise judgment on behalf of a senior executive.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, plus calendaring, travel, and expense systems.
• Strong design and presentation sensibility; experience producing executive-ready materials.
• Experience coordinating board or executive-level materials a plus.
• Comfortable with occasional after-hours support tied to travel or urgent priorities.
