We Are Hiring!

Senior Executive Assistant to Founders

  • Full-time
  • Remote: Work from Home or Anywhere in the World
  • Earn: 400,000 ZAR per annum

Work from anywhere, fully remote-working role.

Company Description

Head of AI is a fast-growing UK-based company providing A-Player Chief AI Officers to mid-size and large businesses (£10m+ revenue) on a fractional (part-time) basis.

Year one growth has been strong. We have raised investment and are now building a small, high-calibre team to support the Founders and senior leadership as the business scales.

We operate at pace, hold a very high bar, and work closely with CEOs, investors, and senior leaders. This is a hands-on role in a founder-led, high-growth business.

Role Description

This is a full-time, fully remote role for a Senior Executive Assistant to the Co-Founder.

You will act as a trusted extension of the Co-Founder — protecting time, maintaining momentum, and ensuring nothing important slips. You may also support a small number of senior Chief AI Officers where required.

This is not a purely administrative role. You will be involved in operations, sales follow-up, light marketing support, and ad-hoc problem solving. Confidence on the phone and strong written communication skills are essential.

You will be expected to work independently, think ahead, and take ownership.

 

What Success Looks Like

  • The Co-Founder’s inbox is calm, prioritised, and actioned daily
  • Calendar is tightly managed with well-prepared meetings and clear follow-ups
  • Sales and proposal follow-ups happen consistently
  • CRM and pipeline are accurate and up to date
  • LinkedIn activity and light marketing support are handled proactively
  • Systems and processes reduce reliance on memory
  • The Co-Founder feels organised, supported, and able to focus on growth

Core Skills & Experience

Candidates should demonstrate experience in all of the following areas:

  • Advanced inbox and calendar management
  • Scheduling across multiple time zones
  • Confident phone manner, including client and prospect follow-up
  • Inside sales support via email and calling
  • Strong PowerPoint and presentation skills
  • CRM and pipeline management experience (GoHighLevel ideal but not essential)
  • Automation experience using Zapier or similar tools
  • Strong LinkedIn proficiency
  • Ability to handle ad-hoc operational projects
  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • Highly adaptable, proactive, and resilient
  • Positive, solutions-focused attitude

This Role Is Best Suited To Someone Who

  • Enjoys figuring things out rather than waiting for detailed instructions
  • Is comfortable with phone work and sales follow-up
  • Works well with minimal supervision
  • Thrives in a fast-changing environment
  • Is looking for a broad, impactful EA role rather than purely administrative work
