Executive Assistant
--afi Global--
About the Role
We're looking for a sharp, proactive Executive Assistant to support our client, managing the day-to-day tasks so they can focus on what moves the business forward. This isn't a task-taker role - you'll own inbox, calendar, and workflows end-to-end, and grow into higher-value work like project coordination, research, and reporting.
What You'll Do
- Manage inbox and calendar with full ownership — prioritize, respond, schedule
- Coordinate travel, meetings, and logistics
- Prepare reports, presentations, and briefing documents
- Handle research tasks and pull together summaries for decision-making
- Support project tracking and follow-ups across teams
- Assist with vendor/client communication as needed
- Manage basic bookkeeping — expense tracking, invoicing, simple reconciliation
- Handle social media — scheduling posts, basic content coordination, engagement
- Use AI tools to speed up repetitive work (scheduling, drafting, research)
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years experience as an EA, VA, or similar support role
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities
- Comfortable with tools like Google Workspace/Microsoft 365, Slack, project management software (Asana/Trello/Notion)
- Proactive — flags issues before they become problems, doesn't wait to be told
- Discreet and trustworthy with confidential information
Nice to have
- Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to streamline daily work
- Background supporting founders/executives in a fast-paced environment
- Basic familiarity with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero) and social media schedulers (Buffer, Hootsuite, Meta Business Suite)
What's great in the job?
- Fully remote — work from anywhere in Sri Lanka, no commute
- Real ownership, not busywork — you'll manage projects end-to-end, not just follow instructions
- Work with modern AI tools — build skills that make you more valuable, not replaceable
- Direct exposure to executive-level work — strategy, reporting, decision support (great for career growth)
- Long-term, stable engagement — not a one-off gig, a real role with a real client
