• Handle light errands and time-sensitive personal logistics as needed.
• Communicate professionally and discreetly with executives, business partners, vendors, service providers, household personnel, and other external parties.
• Anticipate needs, identify potential issues, and proactively resolve problems before they become larger concerns.
• Keep the Chairman/CEO appropriately informed while handling matters independently whenever appropriate.
• Maintain an exceptionally high level of confidentiality and discretion in all business and personal matters.
  •Qualifications:
  
  • Prior experience supporting a founder, CEO, senior executive, principal, or high-level individual in a fast-paced environment is strongly preferred.

  • Comfortable in a role where a significant portion of responsibilities are personal in nature.

  • Willingness to explain work and recommendations by clearly communicating relevant facts, analysis, options, and reasoning.
  • Ability and willingness to respond to time-sensitive matters outside traditional business hours when necessary.
