Executive Assistant - Founder

Hi, we’re RORA 👋 - a new type of team for a new world of work. We’re on the hunt for a remote Executive Assistant to work closely with our founder.

Our operational teams split their time between some of the coolest startups around - on a fractional or full-time basis. But they also come together every week to learn, grow, and have fun.

Over the past five years, we’ve built a great business in FinOps - reinventing how startups do finance teams - and now we’re excited to take the same approach to startup People and Legal teams.

What we’re looking for 🔎

We need a proactive and strategic Executive Assistant to (virtually) join our HQ team and support our founder by managing scheduling, organising events, supporting marketing initiatives, and keeping operations running smoothly. This isn’t a traditional admin-focused EA role – we’re looking for someone who can act as an extension of the founder, anticipating needs and taking ownership of high-value tasks.

What you’ll be doing 📝

• Managing the founder’s schedule – booking client meetings, team 1:1s, and other stakeholder check-ins
• Taking ownership of the founder's calendar- prioritising the most important tasks
• Inbox management – triaging and responding to emails (Front, LinkedIn)
• Meeting support – notetaking, tracking actions, and ensuring follow-ups happen
• Organising events – from team socials to marketing initiatives, including venue bookings, guest invites, marketing collateral, catering, speaker coordination, and budget management
• Handling admin tasks – travel bookings, meeting room reservations, insurance renewals, team anniversary gifts and more
• Supporting commercial initiatives – issuing contracts, liaising with industry speakers (often founders themselves) for webinars
• Occasional PA tasks – personal appointments, coordinating dog sitters, etc.

About you 🌟

We’re looking for someone who takes initiative and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

Experience: Proven track record as an EA/PA, ideally in a startup or fast-moving environment
Exceptional communication: Fluent English (written and spoken) with the ability to adapt to the founder’s tone and style
Highly organised: Able to juggle multiple priorities with minimal oversight
Tech-savvy: Quick to learn tools like Front, Coda, and Google Suite
Problem solver: Spots challenges before they arise and takes action
Trustworthy & adaptable: Can handle confidential information and adjust to shifting priorities

It’s probably not for you if…

❌ You prefer highly structured, step-by-step instructions for tasks
❌ You’re looking for a purely administrative role with no strategic involvement
