Job Description
### About the Role
We're looking for a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant to support both of our Co-Founders with day-to-day inbox management, scheduling, travel coordination, and administrative tasks. This is a high-trust role that requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate professionally on behalf of senior leadership.
### Work Structure & Requirements
* **Location:** Remote / Virtual
* **Schedule:** Part-time to start, with potential to grow
* **Time Zone:** Must be available during EST/Toronto business hours
* **Compensation:** $7 USD per hour
### Key Responsibilities
### 1\. Inbox Management
* Triage and flag urgent vs. FYI emails for both Co-Founders
* Draft and send routine replies — meeting confirms, thank-yous, scheduling back-and-forth
* Manage a "needs Founder voice" folder for anything investor, talent, or partner-facing
* Unsubscribe and clean up noise; manage newsletters
* Track follow-ups that haven't received a response
### 2\. Scheduling & Calendar Management
* Manage calendars across time zones and coordinate meetings
* Protect buffer time and no-meeting blocks
* Send agendas and reminders ahead of key calls
* Reschedule or decline on the Founders' behalf per their rules of engagement
### 3\. Travel Booking
* Book flights, hotels, and ground transport for conferences, investor trips, and retail meetings
* Build and share trip itineraries (single doc/PDF per trip)
* Track points and loyalty programs
* Handle changes and cancellations; collect expense receipts tied to each trip
### 4\. Data Entry & Admin
* Update CRM records and maintain trackers (AP aging, vendor payment plans, cap table notes) — inputting only, not judgment calls
* Document filing and folder organization (Drive hygiene)
* Distribute meeting notes and action items
### Required Skills & Experience
* **Experience:** Prior experience as an Executive Assistant, VA, or senior admin supporting founder-level or executive leadership
* **Communication:** Exceptional written English — able to draft professional replies that represent the Founders accurately
* **Organization:** Strong calendar and inbox management instincts; comfortable managing competing priorities across two executives
* **Tools:** Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar); CRM familiarity a plus
* **Profile:** Discreet, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently with minimal daily oversight
