An EA wanted - support a busy founder and keep operations running smoothly.

$2,000/month | Full-time| Fully Remote
Hi, I’m Monica, the founder of Java Foods and a few other growing businesses.

We’re a small, dedicated team focused on creating high-quality products and keeping our operations running smoothly.

As the business grows, my days are getting busier and more fast-paced, and I’m looking for someone who can bring more structure, calm, and order into both my work and personal life.

I’ve worked with assistants before, but this is my first time hiring remotely, and I’m excited to find someone who’s independent, dependable, and great at following through without needing reminders.

If you enjoy meaningful work, love handling details, and take pride in being the person who keeps everything moving in the background, you’ll be a great fit.

I am looking for an Executive Assistant - someone organised, proactive, and confident working closely with a busy founder.

You should be able to stay calm under pressure, manage details with care, and support both business and personal tasks with reliability and discretion.

Your main responsibilities will be:

📅 Manage calendar and scheduling

💬 Handle communication with team members and key stakeholders

✈️ Coordinate travel and logistics

📄 Prepare documentation

📂 Support ongoing projects
💰 Assist with financial planning and management

Requirements

Must-have requirements:

✅ Strong communication skills

✅ Excellent organisation skills

✅ Strong written and spoken English

✅ Tech efficiency and ability to use online tools
✅ Reliable remote setup with good internet
✅ Experience working with Type A personalities
✅ Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple assignments

✅ High level of initiative

Brownie points:

⭐ Financial or project management skills

⭐ Minute-taking experience

The ideal candidate is reliable, trustworthy, and professional. You notice details others miss, communicate with clarity, and take initiative without needing reminders.

You stay calm under pressure, think critically, and handle sensitive information with complete confidentiality. You adapt quickly, listen well, and manage relationships with kindness, emotional intelligence, and diplomacy.

JobRack's story began in 2015, born from a vision to connect businesses with the exceptional remote talent nestled in Eastern Europe. Initially founded by two enthusiasts of Eastern European developers, the platform aimed to bridge the gap between business owners seeking skilled professionals and the rich talent pool in the region. The early years focused on establishing JobRack as a go-to resource for companies looking to hire great people from this specific geographical area, emphasizing the strong educational background and technical skills prevalent there.

A significant turning point arrived in 2018 when Noel Andrews acquired JobRack. With a background in leading large teams in the corporate world and a burgeoning entrepreneurial spirit, Noel saw the immense potential to expand JobRack's mission. He refocused the company on bringing the power of Eastern European team members to an even broader range of businesses. This new chapter was marked by a commitment to a 'helpful and friendly hiring' philosophy, aiming to build lasting relationships and provide robust support throughout the often-complex remote hiring process. Recognizing the evolving landscape of remote work, JobRack further expanded its talent sourcing to include South Africa in 2023, identifying the incredible talent and similar value propositions this region offered. Today, JobRack prides itself on being more than just a job board; it offers 'Done With You' hiring services, actively sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates to ensure businesses find not just employees, but dedicated team members committed to their long-term growth. This hands-on approach, coupled with a deep understanding of the remote work ecosystem, has enabled JobRack to facilitate thousands of successful hires, helping businesses worldwide build high-performing remote teams.
