About this role

What We're Looking For The ideal candidate will have: ● Previous experience as an E xecutive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Senior Administrator, or similar role ● Excellent written English and professional email communication skills ● Strong organisational and time-management skills ● Excellent attention to detail ● The ability to prioritise urgent tasks effectively ● Strong judgment and common sense ● A proactive, "figure it out" mentality ● The ability to work independently with minimal supervision ● Experience managing calendars, meetings, and correspondence ● Experience working with Notion ● Comfort using Slack ● Strong document management and administrative skills ● A high level of discretion when dealing with confidential information

AI Experience – Nice to Have The company uses Claude extensively for analysis and research. You do not need to be an AI expert, but familiarity with tools such as Claude or ChatGPT would be a strong advantage. The ability to take a task, use AI effectively to assist with it, and deliver a polished result would be highly valued.

The Right Personality Discreet – You will be trusted with highly sensitive information. Responsive – When an important email or request arrives, it needs to be handled promptly. Proactive – You should be able to identify what needs doing without waiting to be asked about every step. Persistent – The founders regularly communicate with extremely busy senior stakeholders, so polite and professional follow-up is an important part of the role. Resourceful – Whether it's finding a caterer in Armenia, organizing a meeting, or tracking down information, you should be comfortable figuring things out. Calm under pressure – Priorities can change quickly, and some tasks will be time-sensitive. Professional – You will be representing senior executives when communicating with high-level contacts around the world.

About this listing

Published on Lever under the board identifier Assist World, 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.

Published 14 September 2026, last checked 16 days ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
