Senior Executive Assistant (EA) to Founders - 475,000 ZAR Full-time

Company Description

Head of AI is a fast-growing UK-based company providing A-Player Chief AI Officers to mid-size and large businesses (£10m+ revenue) on a fractional (part-time) basis.

Year one growth has been strong. We have raised investment and are now building a small, high-calibre team to support the Founders and senior team as the business scales.

We operate at pace, hold a very high bar, and work closely with CEOs, investors, and senior leaders. This is a hands-on role in a founder-led, high-growth business.

Role Description

This is a full-time, fully remote role for a Senior Executive Assistant to the Co-founder.

You will act as a trusted extension of the Co-founder - protecting time, maintaining momentum, and ensuring nothing important slips. You will also support a small number of senior Chief AI Officers where required.

This is not a purely administrative role. You will be involved in operations, sales follow-up, marketing support, and ad-hoc problem solving. Confidence on the phone and strong written communication are essential.

You will be expected to work independently, think ahead, and take ownership.

What Success Looks Like

* Co-founder inbox is calm, prioritised, and actioned daily

* Calendar is tightly managed with well-prepared meetings and clear follow-ups

* Sales and proposal follow-ups happen without chasing

* CRM and pipeline are accurate and up to date

* LinkedIn activity and light marketing support are handled proactively

* Nothing critical relies on memory alone

* The Co-founder feels organised, supported, and able to focus on growth

Critical Skills - Please Do Not Apply If You Do Not Have All of These

* Elite inbox and calendar management

* Scheduling across multiple time zones

* Confident phone manner, including client and prospect follow-up

* Inside sales support via email and calling

* Strong PowerPoint and presentation skills

* CRM and pipeline management experience (GoHighLevel ideal but not essential)

* Automation experience using Zapier or similar tools

* Strong LinkedIn proficiency

* Ability to handle ad-hoc operational projects

* Native English speaker with excellent written English

* Positive, can-do attitude

This Role Is Not For You If

* You prefer detailed instructions rather than figuring things out

* You dislike phone work or sales follow-up

* You need close supervision

* You struggle with fast-changing priorities

* You are looking for a purely administrative EA role

Working Pattern

* Full-time

* Fully remote

* Must be comfortable working UK business hours, with occasional flexibility when needed
