Senior Executive Assistant

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in South Africa.

📋 Description

• Manage the CEO’s calendar, set priorities, establish a weekly planning routine, and conduct daily execution check-ins.

• Transform “brain dumps” into organized tasks, assign owners, set deadlines, and ensure follow-ups (including escalation when necessary).

• Facilitate cross-business execution: align plans, eliminate obstacles, and maintain momentum through quick adaptations.

• Keep a weekly portfolio scorecard (covering marketing, sales KPIs, project milestones, risks, and next actions).

• Collaborate with key operators and partners (including Ops, Sales, and Deal partners) to monitor commitments and accountability.

• Coordinate efforts across various time zones and teams (including St. Martin ground support and remote virtual assistants).

• Assist with light investor/client communications (involving owners/investors, not guests).

⛳️ Requirements

• Experience in roles such as Chief of Staff, Senior Executive Assistant, or Operations Partner, providing support to a founder or CEO.

• Demonstrated capability to manage execution systems from start to finish (priorities → plans → tracking → completion).

• Ability to enforce accountability with senior operators and partners; should possess a clear and confident follow-up approach.

• Strong project management expertise (using tools like ClickUp, Asana, or similar) and a disciplined approach to KPI reporting.

• Non-negotiable: Prior remote work experience; must be proficient with remote collaboration tools (such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana/ClickUp, or similar) and ideally have experience with US or UK-based companies—applications lacking this will not be considered.

• Experience in supporting multi-business or portfolio operators.

• Familiarity with CRM and marketing operations workflows (including email sequences, tagging, and lead routing).

• Exposure to real estate development or home services operations.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.

• Opportunities for professional development and growth.

• Flexible working hours and remote work options.

• Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
