Executive Assistant to Founder – Part-Time | Remote
Position Type: Part-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours — PST overlap required
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is looking for a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant to Founder to support day-to-day operations, communication, scheduling, client coordination, and workflow management.
This is not a passive administrative role. You’ll work closely with the Founder and act as a key operational link between leadership, clients, and internal teams — making sure priorities stay organized, communication moves quickly, and nothing falls through the cracks.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, takes ownership without constant direction, and knows how to use modern AI and productivity tools to work efficiently.
What You’ll Own
Calendar & Inbox Management
- Manage the Founder’s calendar, scheduling, priorities, and daily coordination.
- Monitor, organize, and respond to emails professionally.
- Identify urgent communication and ensure timely follow-ups.
- Prevent scheduling conflicts and keep the Founder’s time organized.
- Maintain visibility across important deadlines and commitments.
Meeting Coordination & Follow-Up
- Schedule meetings with clients, vendors, and internal teams.
- Prepare agendas, context, and relevant information ahead of meetings.
- Take clear meeting notes and capture key decisions.
- Send post-meeting summaries, action items, and next steps.
- Track commitments and follow up with stakeholders until tasks are completed.
Client Onboarding & Operations
- Coordinate onboarding for new clients.
- Collect required documents, information, and assets.
- Keep onboarding timelines and communication organized.
- Coordinate between the Founder, clients, and internal teams.
- Ensure clients receive a professional and responsive onboarding experience.
CRM & Administrative Support
- Maintain accurate records in HubSpot or similar CRM platforms.
- Log communications, activities, notes, and follow-ups consistently.
- Support travel coordination and itinerary management.
- Assist with expense tracking and administrative documentation.
- Coordinate with vendors and external partners as needed.
AI & Workflow Efficiency
- Use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to improve execution speed.
- Draft and refine emails, summaries, research, and operational documents.
- Use AI to organize information and accelerate routine workflows.
- Identify opportunities to streamline repetitive administrative processes.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves
- Previous experience supporting founders, executives, or senior leadership.
- Experience working in a startup, agency, or similarly fast-paced environment.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication.
- Strong proficiency with Google Workspace and Slack.
- Experience using HubSpot or another CRM.
- Comfortable using Loom, Tella, or similar asynchronous communication tools.
- Intermediate to advanced experience using AI tools for professional workflows.
- Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
- Ability to prioritize independently and work without constant supervision.
- Availability for required PST overlap.
Nice to Have
Experience with tools such as:
- Notion
- Obsidian
- Airtable
- Canva
- Calendly
- SavvyCal
- SignWell
Experience with client onboarding, customer operations, agencies, or small entrepreneurial teams is also a plus.
What a Typical Day Looks Like
You may:
- Review and prioritize the Founder’s inbox and calendar.
- Coordinate meetings and resolve scheduling conflicts.
- Prepare meeting context and capture action items.
- Follow up with clients and internal stakeholders.
- Update HubSpot and operational records.
- Coordinate onboarding for new clients.
- Draft emails, summaries, and research using AI tools.
- Handle travel, expenses, vendor communication, and other operational needs.
In short: you keep the Founder organized, responsive, and focused while ensuring important operational details are handled reliably behind the scenes.
Key Metrics for Success
- Well-organized, conflict-free calendar management.
- Fast and professional inbox and client communication.
- Zero missed critical follow-ups or action items.
- Accurate and consistently maintained CRM records.
- Smooth and timely client onboarding.
- Strong operational organization and documentation.
- High confidence from the Founder in your reliability and execution.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work directly with a Founder.
- High ownership and visibility despite being part-time.
- Exposure to multiple areas of startup operations.
- Opportunity to use modern AI and productivity tools daily.
- Fully remote environment.
- Meaningful responsibility and direct impact on leadership efficiency.
