Role Overview
A managed mobility services company that supports small and medium-sized businesses with all aspects of telecommunications fleet management. The company is scaling rapidly and requires strong operational and administrative support at the executive level.
Role Overview
We are seeking a high-caliber Executive Assistant to support the CEO in managing and scaling the company’s operations. This role goes beyond typical administrative work and blends executive support, operational follow-through, and light project coordination. You will act as a force-multiplier to the CEO by protecting their time, maintaining clear priorities, and ensuring operational and administrative tasks are handled accurately and consistently.
The scope is approximately 90% business-related support and 10% personal logistics. This role requires someone proactive, analytical, highly organized, and capable of maintaining tight control over details, deadlines, and follow-through.
Your Impact:
- Enable the CEO to focus more on strategy, leadership, and external relationships by reducing time spent on administrative tasks.
- Bring structure, clarity, and organization to the CEO’s daily operations.
- Improve internal coordination and operational consistency through reliable follow-up and task management.
- Contribute to smoother project execution by coordinating information, owners, and next steps.
- Ensure commitments, deadlines, and operational routines stay on track.
- Build repeatable systems that the CEO can rely on long-term.
Core Responsibilities:
Executive & Administrative Support
- Own and manage the CEO’s calendar, including internal meetings, external calls, and priority-based scheduling.
- Coordinate and book travel arrangements (flights, hotels, transportation) and create detailed itineraries.
- Handle inbox triage: flag urgent messages, draft replies, file emails, and ensure no important items slip through.
- Prepare correspondence and communicate with internal teams, vendors, and partners as needed.
- Support legal and administrative documentation (routing forms, collecting signatures, tracking deadlines).
Meetings & Coordination
- Prepare agendas, key points, notes, and action items for CEO-requested meetings.
- Track follow-ups and ensure owners meet commitments and deadlines.
- Coordinate with internal team members to move initiatives forward based on CEO direction.
Operations & Light Project Coordination
- Support ad hoc projects by conducting online research, gathering information, and organizing next steps.
- Maintain and update the CRM (ConnectWise) with accurate information (training provided if needed).
- Assist with expense reports, receipt tracking, and light bookkeeping coordination.
- Keep task lists or project tracking tools updated and organized.
Personal Support (Approx. 10%)
- Schedule personal appointments, reservations, gifts, and occasional household/vendor coordination as needed.
- Protect the CEO’s personal time by managing schedule conflicts and ensuring adequate breathing room.
