Executive Assistant

This Executive Assistant role serves as the personal and professional operating system for the Founder/Exec in a high-growth creator-led media business. The EA exists to protect the executive’s time, attention, decision quality, and reputation by absorbing chaos, filtering noise, and presenting only what truly requires executive input.

In a creator business where volume, speed, and ambiguity are constant, the success of this role is measured by one outcome:
the business continues to run at a high level without requiring constant executive intervention. This is a senior, anticipatory EA role—not reactive administrative support.

• Own intake, filtering, prioritization, and delegation of all inbound communication
• Ruthlessly manage and control the executive calendar with full ownership and initiative
• Anticipate needs, risks, and decisions before they surface (reactive behavior is a failure mode)
• Present issues to the executive in clear, concise, near-final form for approval
• Route information decisively to the correct leaders and teams without unnecessary escalation
• Handle sensitive, high-stakes, and reputation-critical matters with discretion and speed
• Make operational chaos effectively invisible to the executive
• Serve as a trusted thought partner when appropriate, not just a task executor

• 5+ years supporting founders, C-suite, or high-profile executives
• Experience in fast-paced, high-volume, high-ambiguity environments
• Exceptional judgment, prioritization, and communication skills
• Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership without hand-holding
  
  Calm, discreet, and confident under pressure
• Always-on mindset required due to global operations and time zones
