Executive Assistant | WFH Day Shift | Competitive Salary

About the role

As an Executive Assistant, you will work directly with the Principal and take full ownership of their calendar, correspondence, and daily priorities. You will act as the gatekeeper between the Principal and the business, prepare them for every meeting, keep stakeholders accountable, and protect their time so they can stay focused on high-priority work. This is not a general admin or personal assistant role. It is a senior position for someone who thinks ahead, makes decisions within agreed guidelines, and works without needing direction on every task.

Key responsibilities

• Owning and managing the Principal’s calendar end to end, with all meeting requests going through you
• Managing all incoming emails, prioritising what matters, and drafting responses on the Principal’s behalf
• Preparing the Principal for meetings with notes, background context, and agenda items ready in advance
• Running daily huddles with the Principal to set priorities and keep focus on high-value work
• Following up team members and stakeholders for information, updates, and actions
• Acting as the gatekeeper and main point of contact between the Principal and the rest of the business
• Protecting the Principal’s time by identifying conflicts, overloaded days, and low-value commitments
• Tracking actions from meetings and making sure they are completed on time
• Making decisions within agreed guidelines without needing direction on every task
• Handling confidential business information with discretion

About you

• Proven experience as an Executive Assistant to a senior executive at a medium to large organisation (50 to 100+ employees, up to Fortune 500 or equivalent)
• Experience owning a senior executive’s calendar and correspondence end to end
• Background in real estate, technology, or professional services is a plus (accounting experience is not required)
• Excellent written English that is clear, professional, and precise
• Highly organised and structured with strong attention to detail
• Proactive and able to anticipate needs rather than waiting to be asked
• Comfortable managing up and holding people accountable
• Confident making decisions and working at a senior level
• Able to communicate professionally with stakeholders at all levels
• Trustworthy and discreet with confidential information

Pay: Php50,000.00 - Php80,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):

• Tell us about the most senior executive you’ve supported. How did you manage their calendar and inbox, and what decisions did you make on their behalf without checking in first?
• Imagine the Principal’s week is fully booked, a key stakeholder is pushing for an urgent meeting, and two team members still haven’t delivered information the Principal needs. How would you handle it?
