Role Summary

We are hiring a part-time Executive Assistant on behalf of our client — a founder-led business exit advisory firm launching in the Folsom/Sacramento region of Northern California.

With a book launching in August and a busy schedule of speaking engagements, media appearances, and business development activity ramping up this summer, the founder needs a capable, organized, and locally based assistant to help manage his calendar, coordinate logistics, and keep the day-to-day running smoothly.

This is a flexible, work-from-home role — ideal for someone with strong administrative experience who is looking for meaningful part-time work and wants the opportunity to support something being built from the ground up.

• Strong written communication skills — able to draft professional correspondence and communications that represent the founder well
• Comfortable working independently and managing priorities with minimal oversight
• Tech-savvy — proficient with calendar tools, email platforms, and basic productivity software; comfort with AI tools is a plus
• Located in the Folsom/Sacramento region of Northern California - local presence is important for occasional in-person needs
• Flexible and adaptable — this is a startup environment and the work will evolve as the firm grows
• Trustworthy and discreet — will be exposed to sensitive business and personal information

Compensation and Benefits

• $35–$40 per hour, depending on experience
• 20–25 hours per week — schedule is flexible and will be coordinated with the founder
• Remote/work-from-home with occasional local availability as needed
• Opportunity to grow with the firm as it expands over the next 18–24 months
