We combine strategy, data, and execution to unlock transformational growth for our clients — and we’re just getting started.
The Role
This is not your typical EA gig. You’ll be the right hand to the Founder & President — helping drive execution, keep priorities moving, and ensure every meeting, project, and relationship delivers value. It’s equal parts executive support and business strategy coordination. You’ll operate at the heart of a high-growth firm, with visibility into everything from client delivery to investor conversations.
What You’ll Do
- Manage the founder’s calendar, travel, inbox, and daily priorities
- Prepare for high-stakes meetings (clients, investors, team): agendas, briefs, research
- Build PowerPoint decks and executive summaries for internal and external use
- Help track and follow up on strategic initiatives and business development projects
- Liaise with clients, partners, and vendors professionally on behalf of the founder
- Anticipate needs and proactively solve problems before they show up
- Occasionally support personal admin/logistics tasks for the founder
What You Bring
- 2+ years supporting a senior executive, founder, or leadership team and or 2+ years professional experience in the financial services, consulting or technology industry
- Strong communication, writing, and editing skills
- Experience with PowerPoint, Excel and project tools (Asana, etc.)
- Fast, organized, reliable — thrives in founder-led, fast-paced environments
- Emotionally intelligent, confident, and discreet
- Bonus: background in consulting, venture-backed startups, or client-facing ops
What’s In It for You
- Work directly with the founder of a high-performing, growth-stage firm
- Exposure to clients, investors, high-level deals, and strategic thinking
- Flexible work environment (remote-friendly, with optional Vancouver co-working access)
- Career path toward Chief of Staff, Head of Ops, or beyond
- A team that values high standards, good energy, and getting it done
