FreedUp is seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Executive Assistant (EA) to support the Founder and CEO of a growing, London-based company. The founder recently bought the business back from its parent company and, in the process, deliberately gave up his own right-hand support to feel where the operational gaps were — this role is what comes next.

This is the CEO's right hand: owning his calendar and inbox, building a reliable system for tracking commitments and deadlines across the entire leadership team, and taking recurring administrative work off the business entirely. This isn't a "book travel and schedule meetings" role — it's about removing the CEO as a bottleneck in decision-making so he and his leadership team can stay focused on strategy and execution.

This is a full-time, remote position that requires strong written communication, organizational excellence, and accountability.

Location: Fully Remote

Job Type: Full-Time

Salary: $1,000 - $1,800 per month (based on experience)

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, or similar role supporting senior leadership — a deep operations background is strongly preferred over a purely administrative one.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; advanced/fluent English (C1-C2).
• Tech-savvy and comfortable working across digital ecosystems (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, or similar).
• Strong organizational and prioritization abilities, with a personal productivity system that's more reliable than most people's — you need to be able to close your own loops before you can be trusted to close someone else's.
• Proven ability to manage highly sensitive and confidential information with discretion.
• Proactive and self-directed — comfortable making judgment calls and following through without checking in on every detail.
• Comfortable moving fluidly between high-level coordination (chasing decisions, prepping for meetings, liaising with partners) and hands-on admin (chasing an invoice, fixing a spreadsheet, confirming a payment landed).
• Basic knowledge of bookkeeping, invoicing, or commission/reconciliation processes preferred.
• Technical Requirements: Reliable high-speed internet and a proper, quiet home office setup.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the CEO's calendar and inbox — scheduling, protecting focus/deep-work time, flagging priorities, and drafting or sending responses on his behalf where appropriate.
