About the role

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant with a marketing or communications background to support a US-based founder. You’ll be part EA, part marketing partner. You’ll help manage the founder’s LinkedIn presence and outreach, support media and PR efforts, and over time take ownership of their calendar and weekly planning. This role suits someone who enjoys writing, is organized, and wants to grow into a true “second brain” for a busy executive.

Compensation: 800 to 1,500 (Depends on Experience)

Location: Remote

What you’ll do

• Manage LinkedIn content and outreach: learn the founder’s voice, draft and schedule posts, comment on relevant posts, and handle LinkedIn messages and prospect follow-ups.

• Support media outreach: help draft pitches and press materials, track outreach, and follow up with media contacts.

• Own calendar and task management: maintain the founder’s weekly planning system, time-block their schedule, and keep priorities on track.

• Help recruit freelance contractors: post roles, screen applicants and schedule interviews.

• Triage the inbox, prepare meeting briefs and keep notes and follow-ups organized.
