Job Summary
Are you an experienced executive assistant who is ready to move beyond booking flights and meetings? Are you excited about the prospect of escaping the 9-5 to run your own business? This position could be the stepping stone you're looking for.
This is a $20/hour, 20 hours/week position with a flexible schedule based in Brooklyn.
There will be one full day in my office per week with the occasional in-person errand. Otherwise, you have complete freedom to work when and where works best for you.
You will be treated like a partner, not a subordinate, and thus there is no speed limit for growth from this role. There will be plenty of opportunities to increase your levels of responsibility and compensation along the way.
An Ideal Candidate:
*Takes ownership, moves a project forward without needing any oversight
*Lives in the grey, comfortable with lots of ambiguity and improvisation
*Gets passionate when discussing the pros/cons of project management tools
*Has a well-tested external system for making introductions and staying in touch
*Hyper-organized and detail-oriented, OCD doesn't begin to describe you.
*Proactive with identifying opportunities and taking decisive action
Ideally you will have a couple of years previous experience as a PA/EA, but I will happily waive this requirement for anyone who can demonstrate sufficient talent and ambition.
