Executive Assistant to the CEO

We are looking for an experienced, confident Executive Assistant who is ready to step into a high-trust role and own it completely.

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned professional who has spent years excelling in corporate environments and is now looking for meaningful, flexible work that respects their expertise and time.

About the Role

You will serve as the right hand to a busy executive — managing priorities, protecting her time, and making smart decisions independently. This is not a task-list role. You will be trusted to think, act, and execute with minimal oversight.

What You'll Own

• Calendar and inbox management
• Screening and prioritizing requests, opportunities, and communications
• Vendor and logistics coordination
• Day-to-day operational decisions, including when the executive is unavailable
• Navigating and managing content across various platforms and tools
• Ensuring nothing falls through the cracks — ever

Who We're Looking For

• 15+ years of executive support or corporate operations experience
• Retired or semi-retired professionals welcome — and encouraged to apply
• Exceptionally strong judgment; you know what matters and what doesn't
• You take full ownership of your work — no excuses, no finger-pointing
• You are decisive, discreet, and unflappable under pressure
• You've operated at the highest levels and it shows
• Deeply rooted in and fluent in Black culture — you understand the nuance, the context, and the communication. You don't need things explained to you that shouldn't have to be explained
• Comfortable with content management systems (CMS) and picks up new technology quickly — you don't wait for a tutorial
• Curious and adaptive with AI tools — you're not intimidated by new technology; you lean in, figure it out, and make it work for you

The Environment

This role supports an executive whose work is deeply embedded in Black communities and culture. Cultural fluency is not a nice-to-have — it is foundational to doing this job well. You will move in spaces where that context matters.

You will also operate in a tech-forward environment. We use a range of tools — from website builders, AI assistants, project management systems — and we need someone who adapts fast and stays curious. If you're still figuring out how to use AI to make your work easier, even better. We want someone on that journey, not someone who has opted out of it.

What This Is Not

This is not a role for someone who needs close supervision or frequently escalates decisions. We need someone who acts, then briefs — not the other way around.
