I'm looking for a remote role — Executive Assistant, People Operations, or Business Operations — where I can support leaders and help build their teams, combining 10+ years of executive support and HR experience.
Marissa Virgita
@marissavirgita
I build efficient people operations, recruitment, and executive support systems across regional teams.
What I'm looking for
I'm the person leaders call when they need someone who can run their calendar today and help build their team tomorrow.
With 10+ years across Executive Support, HR, Talent Acquisition, and People Operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and APAC, I've led teams of up to 12, implemented HRIS systems, and coordinated high-stakes executive events — including Saipem Indonesia's 30th Anniversary for 550+ attendees, the Italian Ambassador, and Saipem's Global CHRO.
This combination is rare: most EAs don't know HR, and most HR professionals aren't built for executive-level pace and discretion. I bring both.
I'm looking for a remote role as an Executive Assistant, People Operations Manager, HR Business Partner, or Chief of Staff — wherever this mix of skills is the missing piece.
