Elva (elvalabs.co) is a healthcare technology startup building modern, effortless healthcare software. We're a small, fast-moving team, and we're looking for a sharp Executive Assistant who can also keep our team running and help us grow it.
This is a broad role. You'll start as the founder's right hand and grow into the person who makes sure the whole team ships on time and that we hire well. If you want a narrow, repetitive VA job, this isn't it.
1. SUPPORTING THE FOUNDER
- Inbox and calendar management: triage
- Book travel, build itineraries, handle reservations and expense tracking
- Run research tasks (vendors, tools, competitors) and summarise findings clearly
- Prepare simple reports, decks, and meeting notes with clear action items
- Occasional personal admin: appointments, subscriptions, online orders
2. KEEPING THE TEAM RUNNING
- Own our task tracker: make sure every project has an owner and a due date, and chase what's slipping
- Run weekly check-ins, publish agendas beforehand and notes with owners afterwards
- Onboard new team members: accounts, access, equipment, and a first-week plan
- Write and maintain SOPs so our processes live in documents, not in people's heads
- Track time off, schedules, and coverage across the team
- Coordinate contractor invoices and payment schedules for approval (you'll prepare, the founder approves)
3. HIRING
- Write and post job ads, then manage the pipeline end to end
- Source and screen candidates, run first-round calls, and shortlist the best for the founder
- Schedule interviews and keep every candidate warm with prompt, professional communication
- Run skills tests and reference checks, and keep organised notes on every applicant
- Handle onboarding paperwork once someone is hired
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3+ years as an executive assistant, chief of staff, ops coordinator, or similar, ideally in a startup
- Real experience coordinating other people's work and following up without being asked
- Some recruiting exposure: screening, scheduling, or managing a hiring pipeline
- Excellent written and spoken English, since you'll represent us to candidates and partners
- Strong with Google Workspace; comfortable in Notion, Slack, and ATS or project tools, and quick to learn new ones
- Extremely organised. Nothing falls through the cracks
- Comfortable holding people accountable politely but firmly
- Discreet and trustworthy with confidential information, including hiring and pay discussions
- Reliable internet and a quiet space for calls
- Able to overlap with US business hours
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in healthcare, SaaS, or an early-stage startup
- Experience hiring on OnlineJobs.ph or similar platforms
- Light bookkeeping or basic design skills
THE DETAILS
- Full-time, 40 hours per week, 100% remote
- Long-term role with real scope to grow as the team grows
- Performance and pay review after 3 months, paid monthly
