Executive Assistant

Job Title: Executive Assistant

Location: South Africa

Job Type: Full-Time, Remote

Working Hours: US Hours (9am-5pm EST)

Salary: South African Rand (ZAR)

We are looking for an exceptionally experienced, proactive, and highly capable Executive Assistant to provide direct support to a busy executive/founder.

This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction or waits to be told what to do. The ideal candidate will act as a true right-hand person — anticipating needs, taking ownership, making confident decisions, and getting things done quickly and efficiently.

You will be trusted to manage a combination of executive, business, administrative, and personal responsibilities, often working across multiple priorities at once. The successful candidate must be exceptionally responsive, organised, tech-savvy, discreet, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide high-level executive and personal support to the executive/founder.
• Manage calendars, scheduling, appointments, and competing priorities.
• Coordinate meetings, follow-ups, reminders, and outstanding action items.
• Proactively follow up on tasks and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Handle both business and personal requests
