Title: Virtual Assistant

Location: Northern Africa

This role is open to candidates based in LATAM, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Please note that as this role supports U.S.-based clients, candidates must be available to work during U.S. business hours aligned with the client’s time zone.

Our client is a dynamic, mission-driven organization led by a visionary Chief Executive whose impact extends well beyond day-to-day operations. With a growing portfolio of programs, community initiatives, leadership development networks, and large-scale events, this organization operates with the energy and complexity of a mid-sized enterprise — one that demands exceptional coordination, proactive thinking, and unwavering attention to detail at every level. The culture is one of excellence, continuous improvement, and deep commitment to the communities served. As they scale their reach and deepen their impact, they are building out a lean, high-performing remote team of operators who can think strategically, execute flawlessly, and serve with discretion. This is an organization where the work is meaningful, the standards are high, and the right person will have the opportunity to grow alongside a leader who moves fast and builds with purpose.

Role Overview

The Virtual Assistant serves as the right-hand and strategic thought-partner to the Chief Executive, responsible for freeing executive bandwidth by owning calendar management, project coordination, high-level communications, and VIP event curation with precision and professionalism. This is not a traditional administrative role — it is a chief-of-staff hybrid that requires someone equally comfortable driving strategic follow-through as they are managing the intricate logistics of a busy executive's day. The Executive Assistant will act as a critical connective tissue between leadership and all areas of the organization, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and every priority moves forward.
