Executive Assistant to CEO

Job Description

The Executive Assistant (EA) is the CEO's strategic right hand, responsible for ensuring the CEO operates at maximum effectiveness across all brands. This is not a task-taker role, but one focused on anticipation, organization, and follow-through — safeguarding the CEO's time, enforcing accountability, and bringing structure to fast-moving priorities.

Given that the CEO's strengths lie in sales, communication, ideation, and problem-solving, this role complements those strengths by owning structure, prioritization, operational continuity, and execution. The EA plays a critical role in translating vision into action and ensuring commitments move forward consistently.

The ideal EA is proactive, composed, discreet, and consistently two steps ahead — someone who thrives in high-trust environments and brings calm control to complex situations.

Core Mission

Enable the CEO to operate in their zone of genius — vision, strategy, and revenue growth — by owning organization, planning, communication flow, and execution across multiple brands.
