Read this part first
We are not hiring an assistant. We are hiring a unicorn.

The person we want does not wait to be told. They see the thing that needs doing and they do it. They are so autonomous they can practically manage the person they work for. If you have ever been the one people say "I don't know what I'd do without them" about, keep reading. This is a role built on one word: LEADERSHIP.

You will lead the inbox. Lead the follow-up. Lead the one-off fires nobody trained you for. You will take ownership of a busy CEO's day so she can go be the CEO.

What you'll actually do
Manage two inboxes and a calendar. A lot of email is simple triage: archive it, or route it to the right person on the team with a clean intro, then track it so the follow-up actually happens. There is an easy system for this and it will be taught to you. You will draft on the CEO's behalf: most as yourself with your own signature, high-priority ones in her voice for her to tweak and send.

Communicate through Slack. Log and track your work in ClickUp in the background, your tasks and hers, without needing anyone to manage ClickUp for you. Picture this: a photo of a business card and a voice note come through Slack about a meeting, and you turn it into a drafted follow-up email without being asked twice.

Handle the one-off stuff that makes or breaks this role. Workers comp annual audits. Sales reports for liquor license renewals. Unemployment claims, or at least pulling the data from payroll so the team can close it out fast. These are not repeatable, trainable tasks. They are figure-it-out tasks. The right person is comfortable walking into something unfamiliar and getting it done.

Use your downtime well. The hours are part-time, and the work does not arrive in an evenly spaced stream. Some days are full. Some days are quiet. The person we keep long-term fills the quiet on their own: organizing the Google Drive, rebuilding SOPs, taking on the ongoing projects that never quite get done. The person we don't keep waits around for the next assignment.

What you need to bring
Real tech competence is non-negotiable: MS Office, PDFs, Acrobat, the basics done well. AI proficiency is a major plus. If you can help build and streamline systems with AI, you move to the top of the pile.

Confidence and autonomy above everything. This role rewards the person who figures it out, not the person who needs a script.

Canva and basic social media creation are a bonus. Not required, and the first thing we'd trade for stronger skills elsewhere. But if you've got it, tell us.

Three questions (answer all three to be considered)
Real answers only. This is where we find our unicorn.

1. Tell me about a time you were handed something you had never done before, with no instructions, and figured it out. What was it, and how did you get it across the finish line?

2. When your work slows down and no one is assigning you anything, what do you actually do? Give me a specific example.

3. You're working directly inside someone's inbox, drafting in their voice. How do you d ---------- what to handle yourself versus what to flag for them? Walk me through your judgment.

To apply
Put the word LEADERSHIP in your response so we know you read this all the way through. Then answer the three questions above.

The right person here isn't looking for a task list. They're looking to take something off someone's plate and own it. If that's you, we want to meet you.
