Personal Assistant To CEO

Executive Assistant / Life Manager

Location: Miami, FL preferred (hybrid or remote outside of the USA)

Type: Full-time, 1099 contractor

Compensation: $50,000–$70,000/year, based on experience

Hours: 9–5 EST, with availability outside of them for urgent things

Reports to: The founder

About the role

We are a marketing agency run by a founder who moves fast and has a lot going on. He is looking for his first Executive Assistant / Life Manager — someone who takes both the business admin and the personal logistics off his plate entirely.

There is no system in place today. You are not inheriting someone else's process; you're building one and then running it so well that he stops thinking about logistics altogether. He does not want to micromanage — he wants to hand something over and see it done.

What you'll own

  • Travel: booking flights, hotels and full itineraries.
  • Calendar & scheduling: managing his calendar end to end and keeping him ahead of what's coming.
  • Inbox & communication: triaging email, surfacing what matters, handling the rest.
  • Meeting prep: agendas, briefing notes and follow-ups so nothing gets lost between calls.
  • Project tracking: he runs many projects at once — you keep the list, the deadlines and the follow-ups straight.
  • Expenses & finance admin: expense reports, reimbursements, and regular communication with his accountant.
  • Personal & household: appointments, medical scheduling, personal orders and shopping, groceries, and coordinating cleaners, maintenance and vendors.
  • Ad hoc support for a small team of three when it's reasonable.

Requirements

Who you are

  • 3+ years as an executive assistant, personal assistant or in a comparable service-driven role. Exceptional candidates with less experience and clear evidence of ownership will be considered.
  • US-based. Miami preferred, with the ability to be on site around two days a week.
  • Deeply organised and detail-obsessed — you track everything and nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Resourceful above all. Given a goal, you figure out the how. You try first and ask second; you don't need to be walked through every task.
  • Proactive — you handle things before you're asked.
  • Independent. You'll get autonomy and be judged on results, not hours logged.
  • Calm and easy to work with; plans change often.
  • Discreet and trustworthy — you'll have access to personal and financial information.
  • Comfortable with technology and quick to learn new tools; the business runs on Airtable and GoHighLevel.
  • Excellent written and spoken English.

Nice to have

  • Project management or operations experience.
  • Experience in or around a marketing/creative agency.
  • Experience supporting a founder directly

Benefits

What's on offer

  • Direct, close working relationship with a founder who gives real autonomy and real trust.
  • A role you get to design — you're building the system, not maintaining someone else's.
  • Genuine variety: business admin one hour, personal logistics the next.
  • Flexible, low-bureaucracy environment — time off is handled by conversation, not policy.
