Executive Assistant | Growing Marketing Agency | Remote
Key Skills
Job Description
We're one of the fastest-growing Shopify Retention Agencies in the space, and the brands we work with love us for it. We've doubled our headcount in the last 4 months and are now a team of 50 people. And we're not stopping here.
That's exactly why we're hiring. We're looking for someone who sees what needs doing and just does it - no hand-holding, no waiting to be told. You'll work closely with the Founder to take real work off his plate and partner with our Head of People on building the team and an exceptional culture. Two fronts, one person who makes them all run smoother, with a clear runway into a Founder's Associate role as you take on more.
We're a remote-first company, so you're free to work whenever suits you best, just make sure you're online from 12–5pm CE(S)T so we can stay in sync with the team and clients. Please only apply if you can commit to this.
What you'll do:
Founder Support
Run inbox across Slack, email, and LinkedIn - you know what's urgent before it's flagged
Own the calendar and meeting prep, so nothing catches him off guard
Chase open points and priorities - you're the reason nothing falls through the cracks
Handle organizational topics: reservations, team travel, and external & internal events
Coordinate and repurpose our marketing content across platforms, keeping everything posted and on-brand
Jump on whatever the founder's latest idea is - expect the unexpected, and enjoy it :)
People
Manage contracts and other important admin tasks across the team
Help the People team get more out of the tools we already have, and find ways to work more efficiently (AI, automations, etc.)
Screen candidates, source talent, keep the pipeline moving
Take on People projects, admin, research, documentation, and earn more ownership as you prove yourself
What we're looking for (non-negotiable):
Ideal experience: a similar EA/ops role in a fast-growing environment
You deliver what you say you will, without being chased
You're confident enough to chase the founder when something's overdue - no waiting around, no being intimidated
You're organized enough to run multiple workstreams at once without dropping any of them
You own your mistakes and act on feedback instead of nodding and repeating them
You handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
You're into technology and comfortable picking up new tools and AI
You're genuinely interested in marketing and business, and how a company actually grows
You're hungry to grow into a Founder's Associate role
You’re a strong communicator with excellent English
You can commit to being online 12–5pm CE(S)T
What you'll get:
Competitive salary
Generous paid time off
A driven and positive team
Fully remote - work from wherever you do your best work
A real growth path from Executive Assistant → Founder's Associate
A front-row seat to how a fast-growing agency is actually built
Daily, direct access to the Founder and Executive Team - you'll see every decision made in real time, not filtered through five layers of management
This is for you if:
You spot what needs doing before anyone asks, and just do it
You want variety - a founder's calendar one hour, a LinkedIn post the next, a candidate screen after that
You want to earn your way into more ownership, not have it handed to you
You take pride in the details nobody else notices until they go wrong
This is not for you if:
You need a job description to tell you exactly what to do every day
You want a narrow, single-lane role
You wait to be told twice
Speak soon ❤️ 🔥
Core Responsibilities
Support the Founder by managing communications, calendar and meeting preparation, priorities, travel, events, and marketing content. Partner with the People team on contracts, recruiting, administrative work, process improvements, and projects, taking on greater ownership over time.
Requirements
Candidates should have experience in a similar executive assistant or operations role in a fast-growing environment, with strong organization, follow-through, discretion, communication, and confidence managing multiple workstreams. They should be comfortable with technology and AI tools, interested in marketing and business growth, eager to develop into a Founder's Associate role, and available online from 12–5pm CE(S)T.
Benefits
- Generous Paid Time Off
- Fully Remote Work
- Growth Path To Founder's Associate
- Direct Access To The Founder And Executive Team
