Job description

We’re Hiring: Virtual Executive Assistant (Remote | Long-Term Role)

Create Calm. Lead with Clarity. Support Big Things Behind the Scenes.

Are you an experienced Executive Assistant with a sharp eye for detail, a calm approach under pressure, and a talent for making other people’s lives run more smoothly? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are

The Executive Space (TES) is a high-performance virtual support agency that partners with founders, CEOs, and senior leaders across industries. But we’re more than just an agency, we’re a supportive, human-centered team built on clarity, calm, and execution.

We don’t just assist, we create space for leaders to focus on what matters most by solving problems, protecting their time, and making things happen behind the scenes with quiet excellence. At the same time, we create space for Executive Assistants to thrive in a collaborative, high-trust environment, working alongside other driven professionals who bring a diversity of backgrounds, skills, and strengths to the table.

About the Role

As a VEA at TES, you’ll work 1:1 (or 1:2) with executive clients, handling everything from operational support, high-stakes calendar triage to inbox management, project tracking, and team coordination. You’ll play a core role in shaping how your executive’s time, team, and tasks are organized. You are not just “supporting”, you’re actively managing and anticipating.

This role is ideal for professionals who are:

• Highly organized and proactive
• Calm and structured communicators
• Serious about quality and clarity
• Comfortable working independently, but enjoy being part of a high-trust, high-performance team

Key Responsibilities

This role requires resourcefulness, adaptability, and a proactive mindset. While your exact responsibilities may evolve depending on your client’s needs, your core focus is on creating clarity, protecting time, and keeping operations flowing smoothly. Tasks may include:

• Executive calendar management and scheduling
• Email triage and inbox management
• Operational support across day-to-day executive workflows
• Team coordination and light team management (e.g., check-ins, task follow-up)
• Project and task tracking
• Executive travel planning and logistics
• Document drafting, meeting preparation, and note-taking
• Client communication and relationship management
• Light research and data entry
• Social media or marketing coordination (where applicable)

Requirements

• Prior experience as an Executive Assistant, Virtual Assistant, Social Media/ Marketing Manager or similar client-facing operations role
• Exceptional organizational and time-management skills
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication
• Professional fluency in Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office
• Familiarity with tools like Trello, Asana, Notion, or similar project/task platforms
• Able to work independently with strong follow-through
• Discreet, dependable, and emotionally intelligent

What We Offer

• A calm, constructive team culture built on trust, not micromanagement
• Clear communication, honest feedback, and a strong support system
• Remote work with structure, autonomy, and high standards
• Competitive compensation
• Ongoing training, mentorship, and meaningful opportunities for growth
• A collaborative team of sharp, likeminded EAs to learn from and grow with

We can’t wait to meet you.
