Job Title
Chief Executive Assistant
You are the CEO’s command center and execution integrator across a 3-business portfolio (luxury Caribbean vacation rental asset management, home services/insulation, and Boston real estate development). You translate fast-moving ideas into clear plans, systems, and follow-through—keeping operators accountable so nothing slips.
Responsibilities
- Own the CEO’s calendar, priorities, weekly planning rhythm, and daily execution check-ins
- Convert “brain dumps” into structured tasks, owners, deadlines, and follow-ups (with escalation when needed)
- Drive cross-business execution: unify plans, remove blockers, and keep momentum through rapid pivots
- Maintain a weekly portfolio scorecard (marketing, sales KPIs, project milestones, risks, next actions)
- Partner with key operators/partners (Ops, Sales, and Deal partners) to track commitments and accountability
- Coordinate across time zones and teams (including St. Martin ground support and remote VAs)
- Support light investor/client communication (owners/investors, not guests)
Requirements
- Experience working as Chief of Staff / Senior Executive Assistant / Operations Partner roles supporting a founder or CEO
- Proven ability to run execution systems end-to-end (priorities → plans → tracking → completion)
- Comfort enforcing accountability with senior operators and partners; clear, confident follow-up style
- Strong project management skills (ClickUp, Asana, or equivalent) and KPI reporting discipline
Non-negotiable: Prior remote work experience; fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana/ClickUp or similar) and ideally experience working with US or UK-based companies—applications without this will not be considered.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting multi-business or portfolio operators
- Working knowledge of CRM + marketing ops workflows (email sequences, tagging, lead routing)
- Exposure to real estate development or home services operations
- Tools & Technology
ClickUp/Asana, Google Workspace, Slack/Zoom, Airtable/Google Sheets, CRM (HubSpot/GoHighLevel/Salesforce or similar), Zapier/Make, AI tools for writing/automation (e.g., ChatGPT)
