Executive Assistant

What You'll Do

• Inbox Ownership: Read everything first, answer what you can in your executive's voice, and surface only what genuinely needs them.
• Calendar Defense: Hold the schedule against low value meetings, protect blocks of focused time, and rebuild the day when something urgent lands.
• Briefs and Meeting Prep: Put a short brief in front of every important call: who they are meeting, what happened last time, what needs a decision.
• Travel and Logistics: Book flights, hotels, and ground transport, then send an itinerary that answers the questions before they get asked.
• Follow Up Tracking: Capture every commitment made in a meeting and chase it until it is done or formally dropped.
• Confidential Requests: Handle contracts, personnel matters, and personal errands without any of it being discussed anywhere else.

Do I Need Executive Assistant Experience to Apply?

Experience is strongly preferred here, and we will say that plainly. Supporting a leader means making judgment calls from day one about what deserves their attention, which is hard to learn from scratch while somebody depends on you. If you have supported a manager, a founder, or a busy department before, apply. If your background is general admin, tell us honestly and we will look at where you fit.

What Hours Will I Work?

You work your executive's day. That usually means a full overlap with US business hours, roughly 8am to 5pm in their time zone, plus a short evening check for anything that landed after they logged off. Travel weeks bend the schedule and you get warned in advance. Nobody expects you awake at 3am, and the boundaries get set before you accept.

Can I Apply From Anywhere in the World?

Of course. No client has ever needed their assistant physically in the building, and candidates are hired from anywhere on the strength of judgment and discretion alone. The practical requirements are dependable internet, a private room where confidential calls can happen without anyone overhearing, and a working day that lines up with your executive's.

How Much Does an Executive Assistant Earn?

Pay for this role sits in a market range of $5 to $8 / hr, sent weekly in USD, with bonuses when an executive wants to mark a stretch of heavy work. Assistants trusted with travel, board communication, and confidential files sit toward the top of that band, while calendar only support sits lower. Your exact rate is confirmed with you before you accept a placement.

Will I Be Given Access to the Executive's Email?

Yes, that is the job. A delegated login to their inbox and calendar is set up for you during onboarding, along with whatever else the company runs on. Access is granted properly through their systems, never by somebody sending a password over chat. Treating that access carefully is the fastest way to earn a leader's trust.

What Equipment Do I Need to Start?

A reliable computer, stable internet, a quiet room, and a headset good enough for calls where you take notes while people talk. Privacy matters more in this role than in most, because you will hear salary conversations, contract terms, and things said in confidence. Headphones are not optional here.

How Long Do These Placements Last?

They are built to last years, not weeks. An executive who has trained somebody on their preferences has no appetite for starting over, so these tend to be the most stable work from home positions we fill. The first ninety days are the proving period. After that, the pressure comes from the workload, never from wondering whether the job continues.
