The ideal candidate is a highly dependable Executive Assistant who combines strong administrative organization with polished client communication.

They notice small details, keep track of open items, and follow through without needing repeated reminders. They are comfortable working directly with founders while also communicating with sophisticated U.S.-based clients in regulated industries.

• Timeliness and professionalism of client communication.

• Response and resolution times for client support requests.

• Accuracy and completeness of CRM and client records.

• Successful coordination of client onboarding activities.

• Consistent follow-through on open client and internal action items.

• Quality of meeting notes and action-item tracking.

• Reduction in administrative workload for company leadership.

• Accuracy of documentation and client-facing materials.

• Ability to independently manage recurring responsibilities.

• Overall reliability, attention to detail, professionalism, and ownership.
