Personal Assistant [Remote]

Personal Assistant to the CEO

Location: Remote, India

Overlap Required: Minimum 6 hours with US time zones

Compensation: $1,000 – $2,000/month (based on experience and interview process)

About the role

We are looking for a sharp, highly organized, and proactive Personal Assistant to support our CEO/Founder. This is a senior-level PA role — you will be a trusted right hand to the CEO, managing a fast-moving schedule and handling sensitive matters with discretion and sound judgment. You must be comfortable operating in a startup environment where priorities shift very quickly, things move really fast, and you are expected to figure things out with minimal hand-holding. Experience supporting a founder or CEO at a startup is a strong plus.

What you'll do

Own the CEO's calendar and inbox end-to-end: scheduling, prioritizing, and protecting time across multiple time zones

Manage complex, multi-leg travel arrangements including flights, hotels, visas, ground transportation, and itineraries

Triage and manage communications on behalf of the CEO: emails, follow-ups, and coordination with internal and external stakeholders

Conduct time-sensitive research and deliver clear, well-structured, actionable briefs

Manage purchases, deliveries, returns, and day-to-day logistical tasks with full ownership

Coordinate delivery of gifts, documents, and packages as directed

Troubleshoot urgent and last-minute issues in real time, often with little context - and resolve them

Anticipate needs, flag gaps, and take initiative on tasks before being asked

Handle all confidential and sensitive information with the highest level of discretion

What we're looking for

5+ years of experience as a Personal Assistant or Executive Assistant - preferably supporting a founder or CEO at a startup

Proven track record of working independently in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment

Exceptional organizational skills and a strong bias for follow-through - nothing falls through the cracks

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Highly responsive, resourceful and reliable - able to be available and effective during at least 6 hours of overlap with US time zones

Experience managing travel logistics, vendor coordination, and personal tasks for a senior executive

Comfortable with shifting priorities, incomplete information, and last-minute changes — this is a startup, not a corporation

High level of emotional intelligence and discretion when dealing with sensitive matters

Tech-savvy: proficient with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, or similar

What sets you apart

You've worked closely with a founder or CEO at a startup and understand the fast pace and unpredictability that comes with it

You take ownership - if something needs to get done, you figure it out

You don't wait to be told - you anticipate, act, and communicate proactively

You thrive in ambiguity and treat every problem as yours to solve
