Hi! I’m Leena Yousefi, founder of YLaw, a multi-award winning and the largest family law firm in Western Canada.

I’m also the creator of The Split, a legal-tech app that’s changing the way people approach separation and divorce.

Between running a firm, developing software, attending speaking engagements, and raising a family with 3 little kids, life is fast-moving and exciting. I’m looking for an Executive Assistant who can help me stay organized, focused, and creative.

In this role you’ll be challenged in a good way: you’ll work directly with me on a variety of professional, creative, and personal projects. I am a fast thinker, have an insatiable need for speed and several projects on the go at any time.

I am not very good with organization, systems and details. This is where I could use your help!

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing a highly complex calendar and scheduling meetings, events, and speaking engagements
• Running some of my projects if you are up for the challenge
• Loving tech and AI
• Booking travel, accommodations, and handling logistics
• Running personal errands such as booking appointments, arranging childcare pickups, and organizing dry cleaning or events
• Creating and managing social media content and helping with light marketing tasks, especially for The Split app
• Keeping the office organized and helping with special projects or tasks for the wider team
• Assisting with internal communications and staying on top of follow-ups and reminders

Who You Are

• Someone who loves change, will roll up their sleeves and do what is needed to keep it going - not a "I am too good for this" personality
• Creative but disciplined, artistic taste is always a plus, and of course thick skin
• Background in marketing would be an asset as I do a lot of the firm’s marketing and am passionate about it. Would need help with some SEO, social media posts, website maintenance, content, etc
• Exceptionally organized and reliable under pressure. I am ADHD, so you will need to probably be the opposite
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Canva, social media platforms, and basic SEO or marketing tools
• Open minded: I speak my mind and love opposing views and debates, so if you are offended easily we probably won’t last
• Comfortable working with a busy and high-expectation leader while maintaining a positive and respectful attitude
• Someone who truly cares about doing good work and contributing to something really great

What You’ll Have

• A chance to work side-by-side with a recognized leader in law and innovation
• Involvement in creative and meaningful projects that impact peoples' lives
• A warm, inclusive, and professional culture where your ideas are respected no matter how different
• Flexibility, trust, growth opportunities, and the chance to build something great together

How to Apply

Please send your resume along with a short cover letter to [e-mail] explaining why this role speaks to you. If you want to stand out, feel free to include :

• A system or hack you use to stay organized
• A piece of content or project you’ve created that you’re proud of

Looking forward to hearing from you, Leena.

Compensation

$60,000 to $90,000 annually depending on experience

Benefits

• Pay uniformity and transparency
• First-trimester leave for expecting parents
• Cultural holiday swaps
• Hybrid work
• Paying for your annual vacations
• Fitness incentives
