**About This Role**
We are seeking a **highly capable, emotionally intelligent, and battle-tested Executive Assistant** to support a fast-paced CEO. We're looking for someone who thrives in high-stakes environments, can navigate fast-changing priorities with confidence and grace, and brings clarity where there is ambiguity. You must be able to **cut through noise**, turn loosely defined ideas into structured, actionable outcomes, and support a fast-moving executive without missing a beat.
To succeed in this role, you'll need to be calm under pressure, incredibly organized, and capable of managing up, sometimes without a clear brief or full context. You're not just an assistant; you're a filter, a fixer, a translator, and a partner who sees the bigger picture while handling the smallest details.
This is not your typical 9-to-5 role. If you're looking for balance, routine, and hand-holding, this is not the job for you. But if you're a resourceful, proactive executor who thrives in chaos, filters noise like a pro, and can anticipate needs before they're spoken, we want to meet you.
