You capture what's in the executive's head, track every deadline and commitment, liaise with the team and advisors, and provide accountability on high-priority projects. No one reports to this role. You make sure payroll goes out, taxes are paid, paperwork is completed, and new ventures keep moving forward. The role is fully remote and primarily internal, with minimal client contact. You start your day before the Founder logs on so that East Coast items are already handled. The outgoing operations manager has recorded operational processes for handover, and the company's digital CMO is actively automating workflows using AI tools. Key Responsibilities Executive & Personal Support Manage the Founder's professional and personal calendars, meetings, appointments, travel, and reservations, resolving conflicts proactively.

Make calls on the Founder's behalf to service providers (e.g., auto lease, utilities, cable, account inquiries) and manage routine personal admin, research, and purchasing. Coordinate directly with the LA-based personal assistant for on-the-ground, in-person errands. Company Operations & Administration Prepare and coordinate biweekly payroll with the payroll provider, ensuring payroll and taxes are submitted and funded accurately on time. Act as the central liaison with legal counsel, accountants/bookkeepers, the payroll provider, HR, and studio managers. Coordinate employee onboarding and offboarding, ensuring all compliance paperwork is gathered, filed correctly, and kept strictly confidential. Track business licenses, insurance policy renewals, compliance obligations, and recurring corporate deadlines. Record clear meeting notes and align leadership on quarterly milestones and operational progress. Research, evaluate, and manage vendor relationships for special projects end to end (e.g., sourcing security systems, coordinating installations, configuring administrative applications). Provide administrative support for brand expansionincluding upcoming studio launches, recruiting workflows, invoice processing, and routine procurement. Manage customer inquiries for the Founder's digital course offerings (low-volume; training provided). Maintain company SOPs and collaborate with the digital CMO on AI-driven process automation. Events & Venue Coordination Manage event schedules, budgets, vendors, rentals, and supplies for local community gatherings and the private Venice event venue. Distribute invitations via event platforms, track RSVPs/guest lists, and coordinate community communication channels. Handle administrative tasks associated with short-term residential rentals. Speaking Engagements, Publishing & Personal Brand Research and pitch speaking engagements, conferences, podcast appearances, and media features, maintaining an active outreach pipeline. Maintain up-to-date speaker bios, headshots, presentation decks, and web copy. Manage the personal brand's content calendar: coordinating post schedules, drafting copy, and ensuring consistent publishing. Lifestyle & Apparel Brand Source, vet, and communicate with apparel manufacturers, suppliers, and pattern makers, overseeing sample approvals and production schedules. Assist in go-to-market planning, including social commerce channel research (e.g., TikTok Shop) and photoshoot logistics. Skills & Qualifications 3–4+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, or comparable operational role, ideally supporting a founder, principal, or CEO directly.
