Job Description


We are hiring an Operations & Marketing Executive Assistant for a vacation rental and executive services company in the real estate and professional services industry. This is a full-time remote role for a U.S-based company. Ideal for someone who is highly organized, proactive, execution-focused, and comfortable working closely with a fast-paced founder to manage day-to-day operations, marketing execution, and business priorities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work directly with the founder via daily screen-sharing and sync sessions to organize, prioritize, and execute a high volume of tasks.
  • Schedule and publish social media content using pre-built templates and tools.
  • Coordinate content across platforms (posts, newsletters, lead magnets, articles) and execute "plug-and-play" social media posts using existing templates (quotes, carousels, talking heads) in tools like Buffer
  • Manage and update nurture lists, including coordinating outreach and follow-ups
  • Assist with publishing materials (e.g., books, lead magnets) on platforms like Amazon
  • Coordinate with internal team members (e.g., marketing, editors, operations) to ensure alignment and execution
  • Organize, prioritize, and manage the founder’s task list and workflow
  • Ensure KPIs are collected from team members, send out meeting notes, and manage the "nurture list" to ensure high-level executives receive timely follow-ups and articles.
  • Align marketing materials with brand updates and website developments
  • Support content planning by organizing ideas, templates, and posting schedules

(This role is execution-focused rather than strategy-driven, with an emphasis on getting tasks done efficiently and accurately.)

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years experience in an Executive Assistant, Operations Assistant, or similar role
  • 3+ Experience supporting a founder or senior executive in a fast-paced environment
  • 2 + Experience in social media management and content scheduling tools (e.g., Buffer)
  • Familiarity with the "outbound system" of marketing—understanding how branding, email outreach, and social media work together
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently
  • Exceptional English communication skills, with the ability to interact with older, high-level corporate executives.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to digital marketing, newsletters, and content workflows
  • Experience with outreach or pipeline coordination
  • Familiarity with AI tools or automation in marketing workflows
  • Basic understanding of branding and visual consistency
  • Experience working with remote teams

Required Skills & Tools

  • Social media scheduling tools (e.g., Buffer or similar)
  • Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
  • Project/task management tools
  • Basic AI tools for content execution (prompt-based workflows)
  • CRM or outreach tools (nice to have)
  • Content publishing platforms (e.g., Amazon KDP – nice to have)

Schedule & Pay

  • Full-Time position; 40 hours per week - 9:00am - 5:00pm in the EST (Eastern Standard Time) time zone.
  • This is a fully remote job for a US based company.
  • Pay ranges from R16,000 - R22,000 per month, depending on experience and skill.
  • Annual raises, bonuses, and confirmed holidays/PTO.

System Requirements

  • Internet speed of at least 25 Mbps
  • Computer with a 2.4 GHz processor or higher
  • 8 GB of RAM or higher
  • Windows 10 or newer, or Mac OS X 10.10 or newer
  • HD 720p webcam
  • Headset with a microphone

Benefits

  • Competitive pay rates
  • The company provides a US phone number and business email address
  • Enjoy the flexibility of working remotely, from home or any location of your choice
  • Eliminating commute time
  • Consistent work with the same clients, fostering long-term professional relationships
  • Opportunities for career advancement, dependent on the client
  • Stable work hours and consistent pay
  • A supportive and inclusive work environment that values diversity and individual growth

If you are a highly organized, execution-driven professional who enjoys working closely with leadership and bringing structure to fast-moving environments, we’d love to hear from you. This role offers the opportunity to play a key part in scaling operations and supporting impactful business growth.
