Job description

An exciting opportunity for a high-autonomy Executive Assistant to support the Founder by managing communication flow, keeping priorities on track, driving follow-through, and bringing structure to the many projects and responsibilities within a growing, founder-led company.

Company Profile:

Our client is a growing, values-driven fitness equipment company focused on delivering high-quality products and building long-term customer trust.

The company operates with a lean, remote team and a calm, execution-oriented culture. There are no unnecessary layers, no bureaucracy, and no excess meetings. Decisions are context-driven, and team members are expected to exercise strong independent judgment.

This is a high-trust environment. There are no multiple stakeholders or complex corporate hierarchies — the Founder is the primary decision-maker. The right candidate must be comfortable operating in a direct, context-rich, autonomy-heavy structure.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Provide high-trust, proactive support to the President across business, personal, and operational priorities.
• Maintain and organize the President's open tasks, decisions, commitments, and follow-ups to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Manage the email capture and task-tracking system, ensuring relevant requests and action items are properly recorded and followed through.
• Maintain project trackers and provide visibility on progress, pending actions, and blockers.
• Monitor AI-generated meeting notes and ensure action items are captured, assigned, and followed up on.
• Conduct timely, rule-based follow-ups with internal and external stakeholders, including following up with the President when he is the blocker.
• Provide administrative support for the hiring pipeline, including coordination, tracking, and follow-ups.
• Coordinate recurring household services and contractors, including scheduling and follow-ups for pool, lawn, pest control, A/C, and other household needs.
• Assist with vacation, house-sitting, and other personal planning and coordination.
• Help develop and maintain a structured household operating system, including schedules, routines, and processes.
• Take ownership of projects and new responsibilities as they arise, even when they are outside the candidate's previous experience.
• Research, organize, coordinate, and help execute new initiatives based on the desired outcome.
• Identify gaps, blockers, or items requiring attention and proactively take the appropriate next steps.
• Use AI and technology as part of day-to-day workflows to improve efficiency, organization, research, documentation, and execution.
• Learn and adapt to new internal systems, project management tools, and AI-enabled workflows as the company evolves.
• Maintain clear written communication and provide timely updates while working primarily in an asynchronous environment.
• Exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling business and personal information.
