You will manage priorities, protect time, and ensure the executive operates with focus, clarity, and consistency. This is not a task-based role; it is a performance role.

ROLE SUMMARY

This remote Senior Executive Assistant contractor role supports senior leaders through executive calendar management, communication oversight, operational coordination, strategic planning support, and high-level administrative execution. Ideal candidates have experience supporting executives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and can operate independently with sound judgment and discretion.

• Communication Management: Maintain inbox at decision-ready state. Draft and respond with executive voice and accuracy.
• Operations & Execution: Ensure all priorities move forward without prompting. No missed deadlines or follow-ups.
• Capacity Enablement: identify and remove friction before it impacts execution

WHAT A TYPICAL WEEK MAY INCLUDE

Managing complex executive calendars, coordinating meetings and travel, maintaining inbox and communication flow, tracking priorities across multiple initiatives, preparing executive-ready documents, and proactively resolving operational bottlenecks before they impact execution.

TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years supporting senior executives
• Demonstrated ownership, sound judgment, and discretion
• Clear, professional communication and strong presence
• Ability to operate independently in fast-moving environments
• High level of technical adaptability
• Expertise in building and maintaining workflows in ClickUp, Asana, or Notion. Proven ability to leverage AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Otter.ai) for transcription, drafting, and process automation
• Evidence of managing a complex executive calendar with competing priorities
• Experience supporting revenue-generating or high-growth leaders
• Examples of systems built or improved (not just maintained)
• Demonstrated use of AI/tools to increase output or efficiency

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

• A task-taker role that waits for direction or constant oversight
• A traditional administrative role focused only on calendars and inboxes
• A reactive support position that escalates problems instead of solving them
• A role for someone uncomfortable with ownership, judgment, or fast-moving environments

WHAT SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE LOOKS LIKE
