We are in search of a dynamic, proactive, and meticulously organized individual to join our team. Executive Assistant (EA) As the Executive Director’s strategic partner, you will provide proactive, hands-on support in a dynamic, high-impact role. Serving as the primary liaison for internal and external stakeholders, you will oversee the coordination of critical operational elements of the Executive Director’s responsibilities, enabling them to dedicate their focus to visionary leadership and high-level strategic initiatives. The successful candidate demonstrates outstanding decision-making abilities, maintains strict confidentiality when handling sensitive information, and proactively anticipates potential scheduling conflicts and project deadlines well in advance. Key Responsibilities Calendar & Schedule Management: Serve as the strategic steward of the Executive Director’s schedule, meticulously overseeing, prioritizing, and coordinating a demanding calendar that spans multiple time zones to guarantee flawless daily operations. Gatekeeping & Communication: Act as the main liaison for internal teams, board members, investors, and external partners. Prepare, assess, and refine critical emails, memos, and other forms of communication. Meeting Preparation & Briefing: The Executive Director must be thoroughly briefed and equipped for every engagement, which involves developing detailed agendas, preparing concise briefing materials, and designing polished, visually engaging presentation decks. Project Tracking & Follow-up: Track progress on action items arising from executive and board meetings.

Travel & Expense Logistics: Coordinate intricate domestic and international travel arrangements, encompassing flights, accommodations, visa procurement, and local transportation.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
