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.
