Senior Executive Assistant to the Founder

Hey! Alex here, founder of Elavate. I'm writing this one myself because you'll be working directly with me.

• You've been the right hand to a founder, CEO or C-suite exec in a fast-moving business (EA, chief of staff, founder's associate or similar).

• You're fluent in Google Workspace, Slack and Notion, and at home in Google Sheets.

• You don't need e-commerce experience. You do need to be technical: someone who learns new skills and adopts them really fast.

• Bonus points if you've built something of your own. Everyone here is a builder in their own way.

The role grows into chief of staff. That's the next step: working with me on the most important projects in the business. You'll see every part of a fast-growing brand up close.

This isn't a typical 9-to-5 role. It also isn't literally 24/7, but I need someone who's always available, whether that's early in the morning or throughout the day.

My day starts late (12pm) and runs into the early hours, and most of what I send goes out after 6pm. You clear what came in overnight so the roundup is ready when I'm online, and you're quick on Slack in the evenings.

If you clock out at the end of a 9-to-5 and don't check or reply to messages after that, this won't work for me. This part is non-negotiable.

• £80,000+ starting base, depending on experience

• A real path into a chief of staff role, if that's where you want to go

• A 3-month review against clear goals, with your base stepping up when you hit them

• 30 days off a year

• Vitality private health insurance

• Travel allowance for trips to the London office

• Free Elavate, obviously

An intro call, an interview with me, a paid test task, then a final interview. There's a short reasoning test along the way. We move fast.
