About this role
Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term career.
Job Title Chief Executive Assistant
Location Remote
Time Zone US Eastern (ET) preferred; must overlap core ET working hours
Role Overview 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.
Key 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)
Required Qualifications
- 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)

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Hirehangar, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
