Executive Assistant to CEO

Title: Executive Assistant to CEO (Outcomes-Driven) : Full Time- contractor, Remote

The Reality of the Role: I am a successful online entrepreneur running a 300-person virtual company. I am busy, detailed, and occasionally "persnicketyish". I do not have time for "process noise." I don't want to know how many emails you archived; I want to know that my inbox is clear of everything except the decisions I actually need to make. Those decisions should be in properly-written proposals or emails documented with multiple options and detailed recommendations from others.

1. Time Recovery: Within 30 days, you will have reduced my administrative burden by 50% through ruthless prioritization and autonomous problem-solving. You have to watch, carefully figure out, and articulate what I do - the goal being for you to identify what you can help me with (pre-processing or following up for instance).

2. Chaos to Order: We already have extensive SOPs. Yet there is still substantial tribal knowledge to be converted into documented, executable SOPs.

3. Strategic Support: Eventually, you will manage the company's weekly, 6-month, and 2-year OKR plans and org chart, ensuring no deadlines or human resource gaps occur.

4. AND.... a lot more that we will discover...

• Zero-Fluff Communicator: You speak in results, not activities. You are comfortable with total transparency and "disagree and commit" culture.

• Technical Auditor: You don't just use tools (Zoho, Google Workspace, Slack); you configure them to work better.

• Proactive Gatekeeper: You anticipate issues before they reach my desk. If you're waiting for me to tell you what to do, you've already failed.

• Grammar Nazi: You have excellent written and verbal skills in communicating in English and have the ability to spot errors in someone's sentences.
