Why Work with Us?

At Pearl, we’re not just another recruiting firm—we connect you with exceptional opportunities to work alongside visionary US and EU founders. Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, be challenged, and build long-term, meaningful careers.

About the Company

Our client is a consulting and investing professional operating across multiple fast-moving initiatives. The business environment is dynamic, execution-driven, and constantly evolving, requiring strong operational leverage and tight prioritization. The executive values direct communication, strong judgment, and systems that translate ideas into action quickly. This is a high-trust, high-accountability working relationship.

Role Overview

This is a senior, operations-heavy Executive Assistant role supporting a highly driven consulting and investing executive. The role exists to act as an accountability partner—someone who not only manages logistics but actively drives execution forward. You will bring structure to ambiguity, create systems where none exist, and ensure priorities are followed through to completion. The work is fast-paced, highly independent, and requires strong judgment. This role is best suited for a confident, opinionated operator who thrives in environments where ownership and decisiveness matter.

Your Impact

You will directly improve execution speed by ensuring priorities are clearly defined, tracked, and completed. You’ll help eliminate dropped balls by holding commitments accountable across business and personal workflows. Through strong systems and calendar control, you’ll increase focus, reduce friction, and protect the executive’s time. Your work will enable better decision-making, stronger follow-through, and smoother coordination with external partners.

  • Maintain all tasks, planning, and documentation in Notion.
  • Organize ideas, drafts, and meeting notes into clear, executable workflows.
  • Push work from partial completion to fully shipped using structured execution methods.
  • Continuously improve systems using AI and automation.
