Remote Executive Assistant (Operations & Investment-Finance Support)

AI overview

Support a founder by managing operational processes, improving workflows, and ensuring business functions run smoothly in a fast-paced environment.

We are seeking a highly organized, systems-oriented Executive Operations Assistant (EOA) to support a Founder operating across investing, advisory, and strategic growth initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who thrives behind the scenes, enjoys building structure, and takes ownership of operational execution in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.

Rather than serving as a traditional calendar-only assistant, this role is designed for a proactive operator who can manage workflows, improve processes, and ensure critical business functions run smoothly and efficiently.

This role follows a focused delegation model: in the first month, you will take ownership of 3–5 core operational processes, with responsibilities expanding as trust, autonomy, and performance are demonstrated.

You will work closely with the Founder and leadership team through structured onboarding, documented SOPs, recorded process walkthroughs, and weekly performance check-ins.

Location: This is a fully remote position.
