ABOUT THIS ROLE
Behind every successful executive (“CEO”) is an exceptional Executive Assistant (“EA”). In this role, the EA must act as a gatekeeper, problem solver, and filter, allowing the CEO to remain focused on priorities. They must understand his working style, know his expectations, and remember the small things that make him tick. The EA not only helps manage inner office workings, but also maintains a balance between professional, familial, and social obligations. In short, to be an effective deputy, the EA must work side-by-side with CEO to imbibe his knowledge, learn how the business functions, and work toward furthering the success of the CEO. 

The ideal candidate can start immediately. Our firm provides flexibility regarding working in the office or remotely, depending on the current needs or juncture of work. We're most concerned about quality of output more than face time.  However, to build the type of relationship described above, there first needs to be a great deal of trust between both parties which can only be achieved with face time. In addition, due to the nature of the job, there may be times outside of a 8a-4p work day in which your assistance will be needed.  Similarly,  there may also be times during regular hours when your workload may be lighter, allowing more in-day flexibility for personal obligations.
