Non-Negotiable Traits
This role is defined less by software checklists and more by behavioral non-negotiables. The successful candidate becomes an extension of the CEO's decision-making and consistently demonstrates:
- Ownership — takes complete ownership of outcomes without being asked and solves problems before escalating them.
- Speed — thrives in a fast-moving environment, switches priorities multiple times a day, and is energized rather than overwhelmed by urgency.
- Organization — keeps calendar, inbox, meetings, travel, projects, and follow-up flawless; never lets details fall through the cracks.
- Communication — exceptionally strong written communication; can draft correspondence that sounds like the CEO; professional but warm.
- Confidentiality — can be trusted with absolutely everything, including political strategy, HR, financial, legal, and personnel matters.
- Anticipation — thinks two or three steps ahead and identifies conflicts before they become problems.
- Accountability — welcomes feedback, does not become defensive, and fixes mistakes immediately.
- Technology — learns new software quickly, is comfortable with AI, and is highly proficient with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and project-management tools.
Success Looks Like
- The CEO's schedule, communications, and priorities are managed with consistent precision, allowing her to operate at her highest level without administrative friction or missed commitments.
- Complex logistics, travel arrangements, and multi-stakeholder coordination are handled proactively and completely, with every detail confirmed, prepared, and ready before the CEO needs it.
- A depth of familiarity with the CEO's preferences, working style, and priorities enables the Executive Assistant to act on her behalf with confidence, accuracy, and sound independent judgment.
- Sensitive business information, internal communications, and confidential matters are handled with the utmost discretion and professionalism at every level of the organization.
- The CEO consistently feels organized, supported, and ahead of her commitments because the Executive Assistant anticipates needs before they surface and resolves issues before they escalate.
Objectives & Key Responsibilities
- Manage the CEO's calendar with precision — scheduling and prioritizing appointments, meetings, client calls, and travel while proactively identifying and resolving conflicts before they arise.
- Draft, review, proofread, and send professional correspondence and emails on behalf of the CEO, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and alignment with her tone and intent.
- Coordinate all domestic travel logistics — flights, hotels, ground transportation, and detailed itinerary management — ensuring every element is confirmed and documented in advance.
- Prepare the CEO for meetings by researching attendees, compiling briefing materials, organizing agendas, and ensuring she has all necessary context to engage effectively.
- Track action items, follow-up commitments, and open priorities across the CEO's workload, proactively surfacing items that require her attention and keeping stakeholders informed.
- Manage and organize the CEO's inbox using consistent filing, flagging, and response protocols so high-priority communications are addressed promptly and nothing falls through the cracks.
- Coordinate internal and external meetings end to end — scheduling, logistics, material preparation, note-taking, and timely distribution of follow-up summaries and action items.
- Handle confidential company information, personnel matters, and sensitive business communications with the highest level of integrity, discretion, and professionalism at all times.
- Support the CEO with special projects, strategic initiatives, and ad hoc research, delivering organized, well-structured information that enables faster, more confident decision-making.
- Manage vendor relationships, service-provider communications, and general administrative operations for VFO's headquarters, keeping the office organized, stocked, and running efficiently.
- Maintain clean, accessible digital and physical filing systems for the CEO's documents, contracts, correspondence, and records, ensuring easy retrieval and consistent version control.
- Serve as the primary point of contact and gatekeeper for the CEO's office, professionally screening and routing calls, visitors, and requests in alignment with her schedule and priorities.
Competencies
- Anticipatory Thinking — identifies the CEO's needs, upcoming conflicts, and emerging priorities before they surface and acts proactively rather than waiting to be directed.
- Organizational Excellence — maintains impeccable order across calendar, communications, documents, and priorities, building systems that ensure nothing is lost, missed, or overlooked.
- Discretion and Confidentiality — handles sensitive business information, personnel matters, and internal communications with unwavering professionalism.
- Written Communication — produces polished, accurate correspondence, meeting summaries, and briefing documents that faithfully reflect the CEO's voice and intent.
- Time Management — manages a high volume of competing tasks and shifting priorities without losing focus or composure, consistently meeting deadlines.

- Relationship Management — builds professional, trust-based relationships with team members, clients, vendors, and partners, representing the CEO's office with warmth and credibility.
- Problem Solving - resolves logistical challenges and operational issues independently, escalating only when the CEO's direct involvement is truly necessary.
- Adaptability - responds calmly and effectively to last-minute changes and urgent requests without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
- Judgment and Decision-Making - exercises sound, context-aware judgment, knowing confidently when to act independently and when to consult.
- Professionalism - represents the CEO and VFO with the highest standard of conduct, presentation, and communication in every interaction.
