Executive Operations Manager / Integrator
Full-Time | Remote | Philippines | Supporting Multiple U.S.-Based Businesses
THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT POSITION.
We are looking for an unusually capable Executive Operations Manager / Integrator to work directly with the owner of multiple growing U.S.-based businesses.
We need someone who can take an entrepreneur’s ideas, projects and vision and turn them into completed results—without requiring detailed step-by-step instructions or constant owner follow-up.
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
You will work directly with a fast-moving American entrepreneur who is highly driven, direct, decisive and constantly generating ideas and opportunities.
You must be able to carry a confident, professional conversation with a strong American personality without becoming intimidated, defensive or passive.
We specifically expect you to respectfully challenge the owner when necessary.
If:
* A deadline is unrealistic
* The team does not have sufficient capacity
* A project is being approached incorrectly
* Something cannot be accomplished as requested
* Another solution would produce a better result
We expect you to say so.
We don’t want:
“That can’t be done.”
We want:
“That timeline won’t work because of X and Y. Here are the options I recommend instead.”
Your job is not to agree with the owner. Your job is to help the owner and businesses win.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
You will:
* Translate owner vision and objectives into executable projects.
* Determine next actions without waiting for detailed instructions.
* Break projects into milestones, tasks, owners, deadlines and dependencies.
* Assign and delegate work across the team.
* Prioritize competing projects based on urgency, revenue impact, customer impact and available capacity.
* Monitor workloads and identify when priorities or deadlines must change.
* Follow up with team members so the owner doesn’t have to.
* Identify and remove roadblocks before they become emergencies.
* Resolve routine problems independently.
* Escalate only decisions that genuinely require the owner.
* Hold team members accountable for commitments, quality and deadlines.
* Coordinate larger projects with leadership.
* Run project and accountability meetings.
* Maintain accurate project-management systems, dashboards and SOPs.
* Provide concise executive updates: completed, in progress, blocked, decisions needed and next actions.
* Keep projects moving until they are actually completed.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
The owner should rarely need to ask:
“Whatever happened with _____?”
You already know.
You followed up. You removed the roadblock. You reassigned it if necessary. Ideally, it’s already done.
When the owner says:
“Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish…”
Your instinct should be:
“Understood. I’ll determine what needs to happen and bring back the execution plan and any decisions I need from you.”
NON-NEGOTIABLE QUALITIES
High agency: You act without waiting to be told every step.
Exceptional follow-through: Open loops bother you.
Strong judgment: You understand what you can decide independently and what genuinely requires owner approval.
Prioritization: You distinguish revenue-producing and urgent work from work that can wait.
Confidence and executive presence: You can respectfully challenge a strong personality.
Resourcefulness: When Plan A fails, you find Plan B.
Accountability: You own mistakes and solve them rather than explaining them away.
Leadership: You can direct professionals, coach them and hold them accountable.
Organization: You can manage numerous simultaneous projects without losing control.
Excellent spoken and written English: You can comfortably carry substantive conversations with American executives.
Business thinking: You think about outcomes, revenue, customers, deadlines, capacity and ROI—not merely completing assigned tasks.
