THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a sharp, self-directed executive assistant who is ready to hit the ground running on projects, and grow with us over time. This role starts project-based with a real path to part-time and eventually full-time as Ice Cream Sunshine scales.

You will work directly with the founder and operations manager on a variety of assignments that keep the business moving forward. No hand-holding. No waiting for direction. You figure things out, deliver on time (early, actually), and bring your best every time.

You are available between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM CDT for meetings and collaboration. Beyond that window, you manage your own schedule to meet deadlines.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Founder Support
Manage communications — emails, messages, and follow-ups — with professionalism and care. Protect the founder's time by owning tasks and flagging only what truly needs owner input. Handle all business information with strict confidentiality.

Business Support


As a growing startup, Ice Cream Sunshine moves fast and needs a tea ---------- mber who is nimble, resourceful, and thorough. You bring ideas, complete tasks with care, and assist with both professional and personal needs that allow the founder to focus on what matters most.

Project Management
Own assigned projects from kickoff to completion. Track timelines, flag risks early, and deliver results without being chased. Early is on time here.

Forms, Data & Research
Build and manage forms, organize and work with data, and conduct research across vendors, tools, pricing, and more. Deliver clean, concise summaries — not data dumps.

Written Communication
Draft emails, follow-ups, and messages that sound like the founder. Clear, professional, and on brand every time.

Process & Systems
Spot a repeated task and build a system around it. Contribute to SOPs and operational efficiency as the business grows.

Operations Support
Assist with vendor coordination, project timelines, and day-to-day business activities that keep Ice Cream Sunshine running smoothly.
