Job Description

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.
