The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organised, calm under pressure, detail-obsessed, and capable of operating with extreme ownership. You will run the CEO’s day-to-day administrative operations so they can remain focused on revenue, strategy, and leadership.

You will be expected to work in alignment with the following principles:

Protect the CEO’s Time – filter and prioritise all inbound requests

Calendar Efficiency – clarity, context, commitment, no surprises

Clear & Kind Communication – every request receives a thoughtful response

Read the Play – anticipate needs; zoom in and zoom out constantly

Revenue First – prioritise tasks that make or save money

Capture Preferences Once – document, reference, and reuse

Maintain a clean, organised inbox system with clear response rules

Admin Meetings & Reporting

Prepare and run structured Admin Meetings with the CEO

Maintain a live Admin Agenda with action items, calendar review, projects, and questions

Track follow-ups, close loops, and present solutions (not just problems)

Transition from daily to weekly meetings as trust is built

Travel Planning & Logistics

End-to-end travel planning (domestic & international)

Create detailed Trip Files including flights, hotels, itineraries, contacts, and gyms

Block calendars correctly for travel, prep, recovery, and inbox processing

Handle flight changes, delays, cancellations, and contingencies proactively

Ensure all travel details live in the calendar for CEO self-reference

Speaking Engagements, Podcasts & Events

Vet podcast and speaking requests based on reach, relevance, and fit

Schedule podcasts, interviews, and speaking engagements correctly

Coordinate Founder Dinners and networking events when travelling

Ensure recordings, follow-ups, and thank-you notes are completed

Extreme attention to detail and follow-through

Ability to anticipate needs and operate independently

High discretion and confidentiality

Comfortable managing complex travel and logistics

Proficient with Google Workspace, calendars, email, and collaboration tools

Personal Attributes

Calm, proactive, and solutions-oriented

Highly organised and process-driven

Comfortable saying “no” on behalf of the CEO

Trustworthy and emotionally intelligent

Operates with ownership, not instruction

Why This Role Matters
