About this role

About the Role
We're looking for a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant to support both of our Co-Founders with day-to-day inbox management, scheduling, travel coordination, and administrative tasks. This is a high-trust role that requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate professionally on behalf of senior leadership.

Location: Remote / Virtual

•
Schedule: Part-time to start, with potential to grow

•
Time Zone: Must be available during EST/Toronto business hours

•
Compensation: $7 USD per hour

Key Responsibilities
1. Inbox Management

• Triage and flag urgent vs. FYI emails for both Co-Founders

• Draft and send routine replies — meeting confirms, thank-yous, scheduling back-and-forth

• Manage a "needs Founder voice" folder for anything investor, talent, or partner-facing

• Unsubscribe and clean up noise; manage newsletters

• Track follow-ups that haven't received a response

2. Scheduling & Calendar Management

• Manage calendars across time zones and coordinate meetings

• Protect buffer time and no-meeting blocks

3. Travel Booking

• Book flights, hotels, and ground transport for conferences, investor trips, and retail meetings

• Build and share trip itineraries (single doc/PDF per trip)

• Track points and loyalty programs

• Handle changes and cancellations; collect expense receipts tied to each trip

4. Data Entry & Admin

• Update CRM records and maintain trackers (AP aging, vendor payment plans, cap table notes) — inputting only, not judgment calls

• Document filing and folder organization (Drive hygiene)

• Distribute meeting notes and action items

Required Skills & Experience

•
Experience: Prior experience as an Executive Assistant, VA, or senior admin supporting founder-level or executive leadership

•
Communication: Exceptional written English — able to draft professional replies that represent the Founders accurately

•
Organization: Strong calendar and inbox management instincts; comfortable managing competing priorities across two executives

•
Tools: Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar); CRM familiarity a plus

•
Profile: Discreet, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently with minimal daily oversight
