Executive Assistant

About Athena

Athena is on a mission to improve how people work and live. Our membership helps growth-motivated leaders work smarter, live better, and achieve more with a personalized support team backed by the latest in AI tools. Join Athena to grow, take ownership of your career, and redefine the future of executive partnership and support.

The Role

Athena Executive Partners (XPs) go beyond the role of traditional executive assistants. As an Athena XP, you'll become a strategic collaborator supporting ambitious founders, investors, creators, and industry leaders as part of an integrated team that includes your dedicated client, their executive coach, and the broader Athena network.

No two days will be the same - one day you might be organizing a high-stakes investor meeting, the next helping design a client’s personal productivity system. Athena provides continuous training so you’re always learning new skills while delivering exceptional, evolving support. Athena gives you the chance to work in a structured environment with room to grow and a team that has your back. You’ll have autonomy when you want it, and support when you need it.

Key Responsibilities

• Optimize your client's time and priorities through strategic thinking and proactive execution

• Manage high-stakes scheduling, communications, and complex logistics

• Drive research and strategic initiatives forward

• Build trust with your client's extended network and stakeholders

• Create executive-ready presentations and content

• Anticipate needs and solve problems before being asked

• Collaborate with your client's executive coach to ensure aligned priorities and seamless execution
