About the Role
We are looking for a highly organized and proactive Executive & Recruitment Assistant to support a senior executive across both her professional and personal life. This is a full-time role for someone who takes full ownership, anticipates needs, and keeps things moving without being asked twice.
The role combines executive-level business support with personal logistics management, and also includes a significant recruiting coordination component. The right person is equally comfortable managing a calendar and sourcing candidates as they are handling a personal errand or building a workflow in Airtable.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the executive's calendar, scheduling, and daily appointments with precision and foresight.
- Coordinate travel, reservations, and personal errands seamlessly.
- Handle correspondence and communications on her behalf with professionalism and discretion.
- Lead recruiting support: source candidates, screen applications, schedule interviews, coordinate with staffing agencies, and track the full hiring pipeline.
- Build and maintain Airtable bases to organize candidate pipelines, track hiring progress, and manage operational workflows.
- Assist with business projects, meeting preparation, and timely follow-ups.
- Help manage household and personal logistics as needed.
- Anticipate needs and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
Requirements
- Prior experience as a personal, executive, or business assistant is required.
- Hands-on recruiting experience — sourcing, screening, or coordinating hiring is required.
- Proficiency in Airtable, including building and managing bases, views, automations, and linked records.
- Strong command of Google Workspace and scheduling tools.
- Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication in English.
- Discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential information.
- Comfortable managing both personal and professional tasks within the same day.
- Resourceful, solutions-oriented, and collaborative mindset.
- Bilingual English and Spanish preferred.
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting high-level executives or principals in a 1-on-1 capacity.
- Familiarity with project management or workflow automation tools beyond Airtable.
- Experience coordinating with external staffing agencies or recruitment platforms.
What Success Looks Like
- The executive's calendar, communications, and logistics are managed proactively with zero dropped balls.
- The recruiting pipeline is organized, up to date, and moves forward without constant direction.
- Airtable systems are built and maintained in a way that gives clear visibility into all active workflows.
- Personal and professional tasks are handled with equal reliability and discretion.
- The assistant operates as a true extension of the executive — anticipating what is needed before being asked.
