About the Role
We're hiring a full-time Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator to support the leadership of a growing US-based startup that sits within a wider family of companies. You'll work mainly with two principals and also handle scheduling for the broader leadership team. The company has just moved from a year of strategic planning into a year of execution, and the volume of work has grown with it. This role exists for one reason: leverage. You take coordination, follow-up and logistics off senior people's plates so they can spend their time where it matters most. You also help them work better, not just faster. About half of your time goes to the business and its leadership team. The other half goes to your two principals directly, including some personal logistics. This is not a box-checking role. Your principals want someone who quietly keeps them organized, raises red flags early, and will tell them when they aren't using you well.
What You'll Do Keep the operating rhythm running
Own the calendar and logistics for the leadership team's recurring meetings, which run on the EOS framework (L10 meetings, to-do and issues lists)
Turn meeting recordings and notes into tracked action items. Each one gets an owner, a next step and a date, and you follow it through to closure
Keep the to-do and issues lists current between meetings
Coordinate offsites, retreats and events, including the planning rush that comes with them
Keep the company's knowledge system accurate
Maintain an AI-powered knowledge and decision-tracking system built on Claude. It checks documents and communications against decisions the team has already made
Make sure transcripts, emails and documents land in the right place so the system stays current. This includes chasing teammates for them
Notice when the system isn't behaving as it should, and suggest improvements
Own file and document hygiene: one location per document type, no personal drives, no duplicate copies
Be the first point of contact for technology
Handle everyday tech requests from the team, such as access issues, missing email or shared drives, and coordinate fixes with the company's outsourced IT provider
Support a company-wide technology stack review: build the tool inventory, interview team members, gather requirements, and help run the transition
Pick up new tools quickly as the stack changes
Support your principals
Own calendars: scheduling, sequencing, and protecting focus time so no one is buried in back-to-back meetings
Prepare for meetings: agenda, background, open items with that person, and one line on what the meeting needs to achieve
After meetings, record what was committed to and by whom, then follow up
Review AI-generated summaries, briefs and action items for accuracy. AI helps, but you're the check
Book travel, including international trips, and step in when travel is disrupted
Triage inboxes and follow up on open threads
Coordinate personal calendars, appointments, vendors and errands remotely
Coordinate the wider team
Schedule calls between leadership team members and busy external contacts
Follow up with partners, vendors and outside parties so leaders don't have to
Adjust how you work to suit each person you support
How the work runs
Two standing calls a week with your principal for the first month, then one a week plus a short written update
Same-business-day response on anything non-urgent
Anything blocked for more than 48 hours goes on a blocker list for the next standing call
Nothing goes into a tracker without a next action and a date
Sensitive matters, such as compensation, partner agreements or legal questions, go straight to your principal. You will never be asked to handle a difficult conversation on someone's behalf
Location & Hours
LATAM-based, working from home
Full-time, Monday to Friday, aligned to US Eastern business hours
The work comes in waves: busy stretches, then quieter ones. Reliable overlap with your principals' working day is essential. This is not an asynchronous role
Now and then, roughly once or twice a month, a time-sensitive request lands outside the usual flow, such as a travel disruption or a last-minute reservation change. How these are handled is agreed with EAI at placement
Your principals protect your personal time. Plan time off ahead and communicate early, and you'll be fully supported
What You'll Bring Experience and tools
3+ years supporting executives, founders or business owners,
ideally more than one at a time and in a fast-moving or startup environment
Strong executive function: routines, checklists, and a planning system you can walk us through
Hands-on, everyday use of AI tools (such as Claude or ChatGPT) to work faster, and the judgment to check what they produce
Comfort with technology: you can troubleshoot basic issues, learn new tools fast, and explain them clearly to non-technical people
Travel booking experience, including international travel
Notion, Slack and Zoom
Clear, professional written and spoken English. Your resume must be in English
How you work
You anticipate. You spot what your principals will need before they ask, and make sure they're briefed so they don't have to do it themselves
You don't need to be micromanaged. Ask as many questions as you need while learning something. Once you've been shown, you own it
You check your own work, especially where money, travel or deadlines are involved. Mistakes happen. Repeating the same mistake on something critical doesn't
You're candid. You push back when something doesn't make sense, and you'll tell your principals how to use you better. This team does not want a yes-person
You're trustworthy and discreet with passports, payment cards and personal information
You're comfortable with change and you bring structure. Priorities shift, and you keep the systems that stop things from falling through
You learn fast. Hand you an unfamiliar tool and a manual, and you'll get most of the way on your own
You protect your own time responsibly: you plan ahead and communicate early
Bonus Points For
Experience with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) or L10 meetings
Using Claude or similar AI tools for knowledge management or building simple AI workflows
First-line IT support, or coordinating with an IT provider
Tech stack audits or tool migration projects
Event, offsite or retreat planning
Scheduling across senior external stakeholders who don't report to you
Your Setup
A computer that runs several browser-based systems at once without slowing down
Stable home internet, with a backup connection
A working webcam and headset. Video calls are camera-on
