    Job description

    Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term career.

    Job Title
    Chief Executive Assistant

    Location
    Remote

    Time Zone
    US Eastern (ET) preferred; must overlap core ET working hours

    Role Overview
    You are the CEO’s command center and execution integrator across a 3-business portfolio (luxury Caribbean vacation rental asset management, home services/insulation, and Boston real estate development). You translate fast-moving ideas into clear plans, systems, and follow-through—keeping operators accountable so nothing slips.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Own the CEO’s calendar, priorities, weekly planning rhythm, and daily execution check-ins

    • Convert “brain dumps” into structured tasks, owners, deadlines, and follow-ups (with escalation when needed)

    • Drive cross-business execution: unify plans, remove blockers, and keep momentum through rapid pivots

    • Maintain a weekly portfolio scorecard (marketing, sales KPIs, project milestones, risks, next actions)

    • Partner with key operators/partners (Ops, Sales, and Deal partners) to track commitments and accountability

    • Coordinate across time zones and teams (including St. Martin ground support and remote VAs)

    • Support light investor/client communication (owners/investors, not guests)

    Required Qualifications

    • Experience working as Chief of Staff / Senior Executive Assistant / Operations Partner roles supporting a founder or CEO

    • Proven ability to run execution systems end-to-end (priorities → plans → tracking → completion)

    • Comfort enforcing accountability with senior operators and partners; clear, confident follow-up style

    • Strong project management skills (ClickUp, Asana, or equivalent) and KPI reporting discipline

    • Non-negotiable: Prior remote work experience; fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana/ClickUp or similar) and ideally experience working with US or UK-based companies—applications without this will not be considered.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience supporting multi-business or portfolio operators

    • Working knowledge of CRM + marketing ops workflows (email sequences, tagging, lead routing)

    • Exposure to real estate development or home services operations

    Tools & Technology
    ClickUp/Asana, Google Workspace, Slack/Zoom, Airtable/Google Sheets, CRM (HubSpot/GoHighLevel/Salesforce or similar), Zapier/Make, AI tools for writing/automation (e.g., ChatGPT)
