  • Handle personal expenses, admin tasks, and maintain public-facing materials like bios and CVs.
  • Support the CEO’s social media presence as needed.
  • Conduct research and assist with various projects and initiatives.
  • Act as gatekeeper for all incoming communications.
  • Occasional travel (including international) may be required.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years supporting a senior-level executive, ideally a public figure/entrepreneur.

  • Highly organized with excellent judgment, follow-through, and adaptability.
  • Discreet, professional, and comfortable managing sensitive information.
