Role Overview

We’re seeking a reliable, highly organized Executive Assistant (Admin & Project Manager) who can seamlessly blend executive support, customer service, and community operations.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys multitasking across digital operations, project coordination, and research within a fast-evolving niche industry.

Your Impact:

Your efforts will directly support the founder in streamlining business operations, maintaining strong community relationships, and ensuring consistent engagement with members. You’ll play a critical role in enabling productivity and sustaining a high-quality experience for members and partners alike

• Manage customer service inboxes: respond to member inquiries, assist with onboarding, and maintain a professional, helpful tone.
• Support community engagement: monitor and moderate member channels (Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp), triage issues, and flag threads requiring founder input.
• Oversee email management: organize business and some personal inboxes, set up filters/templates, and ensure timely follow-ups.
• Draft and distribute product updates, newsletters, and announcements based on founder notes.
• Manage basic invoicing and record-keeping, maintaining simple logs for business expenses.
• Conduct research projects (e.g., comparing credit card perks, summarizing new offers, or curating travel deal insights).

Content & Communication Support (Nice-to-Have)

• Draft light blog posts, internal wiki summaries, or community updates in clear, engaging language.
• Contribute to documentation for processes, FAQs, or internal knowledge bases.

Soft Skills / Cultural Fit:

• Highly proactive and observant — able to surface issues and insights without being prompted.
• Detail-oriented, reliable, and trustworthy with confidential information.
• Communicative and collaborative with a “no hand-holding” approach to ownership.
• Curious and coachable — open to process feedback and continuous improvement.
• Values clarity, structure, and maintaining calm under multiple workstreams.
