Executive Assistant (CEO Office)

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Team: CEO Office Location: Flexible / Remote Reporting to: CEO

ROLE OVERVIEW

Rwazi operates in a high-velocity, AI-native environment where clarity, follow-through, and structured thinking are essential.

The Executive Assistant supports the CEO in day-to-day executive operations — documentation, planning cadence, structured follow-ups, and internal coordination.

This is a foundational role inside the CEO’s office.

While the title is traditional, the expectation is not.

We are looking for someone with former founder instincts or strong analytical pedigree — who understands strategy, but is comfortable operating in a support capacity without ego.

This role requires intelligence, discipline, and humility.

CORE MANDATE

The Executive Assistant is accountable for

• Maintaining executive documentation rigor
• Structuring meetings into clear outputs and actions
• Tracking cross-functional commitments
• Supporting board and planning cycles
• Reducing cognitive load on the CEO

This role strengthens executive execution hygiene.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

EXECUTIVE DOCUMENTATION & STRUCTURING

• Capture high-quality, structured notes in executive and board meetings
• Translate discussions into clear action items with owners and deadlines
• Maintain organized, searchable documentation systems
• Draft memos, summaries, and internal briefs

PLANNING & CADENCE MANAGEMENT

• Support quarterly and annual planning processes
• Assist in preparing board decks and executive materials
• Maintain visibility over key company-wide priorities
• Ensure follow-through across functional leaders

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COORDINATION

• Track execution commitments across teams
• Follow up on deadlines and deliverables
• Escalate slippage early and objectively
• Maintain structured dashboards of ongoing initiatives

OPERATIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

• Manage executive scheduling and prioritization
• Coordinate internal and external communications
• Maintain high professional standards in all outputs

ROLE IMPACT

Strong performance results in

• Clear executive decision trails
• Fewer dropped commitments
• Tighter cross-functional alignment
• Faster execution cycles
• Increased CEO focus on strategic priorities

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• This is not a strategic leadership role
• This is not independent product or revenue ownership
• This is not a stepping stone to immediate executive authority

This role requires comfort operating in a support function — regardless of prior seniority.

QUALIFICATIONS AND PROFILE

We are looking for individuals who demonstrate

• Former founder, operator, or builder experience OR strong analytical background (consulting, finance, research, technical environments)
• Exceptional structured writing ability
• Strong analytical reasoning and pattern recognition
• Comfort synthesizing complex discussions into clarity
• High attention to detail
• Ability to operate without ego in a support capacity
• Strong discretion and professionalism

Former founders are welcome — provided they are motivated by discipline and execution, not status.

CULTURAL FIT

We value individuals who

• Think sharply but act humbly
• Prefer execution over visibility
• Take pride in structured output
• Care about precision
• Follow through consistently

HOW CANDIDATES ARE EVALUATED

Candidates are evaluated based on

• Clarity and structure of written work
• Analytical depth in summarizing complex discussions
• Discipline in tracking commitments
• Comfort supporting executive workflows
• Absence of ego in operational contexts

SUMMARY

The Executive Assistant strengthens the CEO’s office by applying founder-level thinking and analytical rigor to executive documentation, planning, and follow-through.

This role is foundational to maintaining speed, clarity, and execution discipline as Rwazi scales.
