Executive Assistant (High-Ownership Role) – Philippines (Remote)

Location: Remote – Philippines-based candidates only

Schedule: Full-time, US Central Time hours (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM CT or 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM CT)

Compensation: $8 – $12 per hour depending on experience

About the Role

We are looking for a highly organized, proactive Executive Assistant to support the founder of a growing company. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can operate independently, not a task-based virtual assistant position.

You will be responsible for helping manage day-to-day operations, keeping things organized, and ensuring that priorities are executed without constant follow-up. You will be expected to take initiative, solve problems, and complete tasks without needing step-by-step direction. Prior experience supporting an executive, business owner, or managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment is required.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly reliable, and takes initiative — someone who gets things done rather than passing tasks back for review.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Core Executive Support

  • Manage calendar, scheduling, and meeting coordination
  • Help organize priorities and ensure key tasks are completed
  • Track action items and follow up proactively
  • Assist with inbox organization and communication when needed
Operational Support
  • Coordinate with internal team members (including Philippines team)
  • Follow up on tasks, projects, and deliverables
  • Help document processes and standard operating procedures
  • Assist in organizing workflows and improving efficiency
  • Prepare basic reports, summaries, and updates
Execution & Follow-Through
  • Take ownership of assigned tasks and drive them to completion
  • Anticipate needs and act proactively
  • Reduce back-and-forth by solving problems independently
  • Ensure nothing “falls through the cracks”
What We’re Looking For
  • Strong written and spoken English communication skills
  • Extremely organized and detail-oriented
  • Highly proactive — does not wait for instructions
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
  • Professional, polished, and reliable
  • Comfortable working directly with a US-based founder
Tools & Environment
  • Google Workspace
  • OneDrive
  • Trello (or similar tools — willingness to learn is important)
This Role Is a Great Fit If You
  • Like bringing order to chaos
  • Take pride in being reliable and organized
  • Naturally follow up and close loops
  • Prefer taking action rather than waiting for direction
  • Want to grow into a higher-responsibility role over time
This Role Is NOT a Fit If You
  • Prefer strictly task-based work
  • Need constant direction or supervision
  • Avoid taking initiative
  • Struggle with organization or follow-through
