Job description
Equivity is looking for part-time East Coast-based executive assistants who have experience supporting C-level executives and are experienced in a wide range of administrative duties including calendaring, email inbox management, travel arrangements, project coordination, light bookkeeping, and preparing expense reports. In addition, executive assistants will help their C-level executive with creating meeting agendas, communicating with senior-level staff, and keeping the executive on track and following up on tasks as needed. If you enjoy supporting high-level executives achieve their business goals, pride yourself on your organizational abilities, pay meticulous attention to detail, and thrive in a work-from-home environment, we want to hear from you!
Many of Equivity’s clients value the promotion of social justice and greater equity. They expect that their virtual assistant will be comfortable helping their business or non-profit operate in a manner consistent with these values. Your work for these organizations will also likely involve interacting with other stakeholders in these organizations who share these values.

Experience interacting with C-level executives and managing complex calendars is required, and experience with email inbox management and communication with high-level executives is also necessary. The ideal candidate will demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills and will work well both as a member of a team and independently.
