Executive Assistant to Founder

Executive Assistant to Founder — AI & Ecommerce Company

I’m the founder of a growing AI consultancy and training business in the ecommerce space. I work with agencies, brands, and teams across the US, UK, and Europe — helping them integrate AI into their operations. The business is growing fast, and I need someone who can grow with it.

This is not a typical VA role. I’m not looking for someone to answer emails and manage a calendar (though you’ll do some of that too). I’m looking for a sharp, resourceful person who can figure things out independently — someone who sees a new tool, a new platform, or a new challenge and thinks “let me work this out” rather than “no one taught me this.”

What you’ll actually do

The tasks will change. That’s the point. On any given week, you might:

• Research a new platform or tool I’ve never used, learn it, and brief me on how it works
• Format and send a client presentation or proposal
• Set up and manage a cold email outreach campaign
• Build a simple landing page or website section on a platform like Carrd, Webflow, or WordPress
• Manage and moderate a WhatsApp or Slack community
• Analyse data in spreadsheets and pull out the key insights
• Research competitors, market trends, or potential partners
• Post content on social media and track what’s working
• Help coordinate training sessions, webinars, or events
• Handle inbox triage and scheduling across time zones

The common thread: every task requires you to think, not just execute. If I have to explain every detail and check every step, this isn’t the right fit.

What matters more than your CV

• You’re a natural self-learner. You figure things out using Google, YouTube, AI tools, forums — whatever it takes. You don’t wait to be trained.
• You take initiative. When you see something that could be done better, you flag it or just fix it.
• You communicate clearly. If you’re stuck, you say so early — with context on what you’ve already tried.
• You’re reliable and organised. You track your own tasks, meet deadlines, and follow up without being chased.
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity. I’ll often give you the “what” and the “why” but not the “how” — that’s your job to figure out.

The details
• Hours: Full-time, 35–40 hours/week
• Location: Remote
• Compensation: $500–$1,000/month depending on experience, with room to grow as the business grows
• Communication: Daily standups and regular check-ins. We work closely together — this is a partnership, not a set-and-forget arrangement.
• Language: Fluent English is essential. All communication, content, and client work is in English.
• Tools: Google Workspace, Slack, and a willingness to learn anything else. Experience with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) is a plus but not required.

Why this could be a great opportunity
This business is at an inflection point. I’m building something that didn’t exist two years ago, in one of the fastest-moving industries in the world. The right person won’t just be an assistant — they’ll become essential to how this business runs. That means real responsibility, real growth, and compensation that reflects your impact over time.
