Executive Assistant - CG

Employment Type: Full time, independent contractor
Work Model: Remote
Work Hours: US work hours 

We are seeking a highly reliable, self-starting Executive Assistant to support two founders across an established software company and a new AI product launch.

This role exists to offload operational execution, allowing founders to focus on strategy, product, and growth. The right candidate is not task-dependent or reactive — they anticipate needs, build systems, and close loops without supervision.

 The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter who executes reliably with minimal supervision, anticipates needs, and builds systems to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

If you require heavy direction, frequent reminders, or step-by-step management, this role will not be a fit.
