Job description

Our client is a US-based accounting and advisory firm serving the construction industry. The Partner you would support runs a growing team of 85 people, moves fast, and communicates in fragments. This is not a diary-and-inbox seat with a manager checking your work. It is the seat directly beside the person making decisions, and the reason it exists is that he needs someone whose output is right the first time, from instructions that are rarely complete.

Email is the center of this role. You will hold the Partner’s Outlook inbox, learn his voice well enough to draft in it, and decide — many times a day — what genuinely needs him and what does not. Once trust is established, some of what you write will go out under his name without him reading it first. Everything else follows from that: complex calendars kept in sync, meetings captured and chased to completion, documentation that stays current, and a level of discretion that never has to be asked for.

The firm is remote-first and technology-forward, and that shapes the work. You will be expected to set up scheduling automation rather than only use it, keep a CRM honest, pull meeting recordings into follow-up lists, and use AI tools as part of how the work gets done. This role does not include access to financial systems, banking, or treasury functions.

If you need predictability, clear boundaries, or step-by-step direction, this role will be exhausting. If you thrive on variety, solve problems in real time, and want to sit at the center of the action, read on.
