WorkFromHome, South Africa Real Hires Full time

Executive Assistant to Chief Executive Officer Join Real Hires to apply for the Executive Assistant to Chief Executive Officer role. Location: Flexible (Remote, must overlap with EST hours) Compensation: Competitive salary + bonus + benefits About Real Hires Real Hires is on a mission to make global talent truly accessible. We’re not just filling roles — we’re creating impact. Our goal is to become the most trusted global staffing partner for U.S. businesses, and every hire here is designed to multiply growth. The Role This is not a traditional assistant position. You’ll function as an extension of the CEO’s mind — anticipating, prioritizing, and creating order so he can stay focused on what only he can do: vision, sales, client relationships, and growth strategy. You will clear the runway by: Turning raw ideas into finished guides, posts, and client tools Translating chaos into systems and SOPs Building rails (trackers, briefs, workflows) for predictable execution Protecting the CEO’s time, energy, and clarity Protect Time & Clarity Deliver daily/weekly briefs (top priorities, pipeline, client issues) End each day with a “Done List” to make progress visible Keep inbox, calendar, and CRM tight — nothing slips, nothing lingers Content & Authority Support Capture sparks from voice notes and turn them into LinkedIn drafts, guides, or frameworks Manage a content library — organize, tag, and maintain flow Client Experience & Retention Systematize onboarding (welcome packs, kickoff emails, “what’s next” docs) Coordinate testimonials, gifting, and client touchpoints Prep concise call briefs and log insights into CRM Project Finishing Keep websites, branding, and product milestones on track Manage vendors, track progress, and elevate decisions with clarity Close loops others leave open Strategic Insights Research tools, partners, and opportunities Deliver 1-page briefs with clear options and recommendations Results You Own CEO starts and ends each day with clarity, not fog Content machine runs — ideas captured, organized, published Client experience feels seamless — onboarding, follow-ups, touchpoints Projects move to done — websites, guides, systems completed CEO spends 70–80% of the week in vision, sales, content, and relationships Requirements 5–10 years as EA, Chief of Staff, or Ops role supporting a founder/CEO Proven record of turning chaos into clarity for high-energy leaders Evidence of building systems (CRM processes, SOPs, onboarding flows, content libraries) Elite communicator — crisp writing, clear speaking, able to draft in another’s voice Client-facing polish — confident representing leadership to clients, partners, vendors High follow-through — finish what you start without nudges Assertive yet diplomatic — able to push back and realign priorities Who This Role Is NOT For Those needing constant direction, hand-holding, or detailed task lists High “Quick Start” types who start but rarely finish People rattled by shifting priorities or tight timelines Those who guard evenings/weekends as non-negotiable — this role flexes when the CEO does Anyone who views themselves as a “secretary” vs. a strategic operator People who avoid feedback or take redirection personally Those content with “done” instead of “done right” The Right Person A service-driven achiever who finds satisfaction in enabling success A low-ego operator who thrives behind the curtain A structured finisher who builds rails for others to run on A calm anchor who says “Let’s finish this first” when new ideas appear A trusted gatekeeper for inbox, calendar, and reputation Summary This is a high-intensity partnership, not a back-office role. If you are structured, proactive, confident, and thrive on finishing what others start, you’ll unlock the CEO’s potential and help Real Hires scale into the global authority on talent. If that excites you — apply now. Employment type Full-time #J-18808-Ljbffr
