Team Leader / Executive Assistant

Team Leader / Executive Assistant

I run a Content Marketing Company and I'm looking for someone to take real ownership of operations - not just execute tasks, but think ahead, spot opportunities, and help me run the business better.

Responsibilities:

-Manage and direct 7+ contractors — keep them accountable, coach them toward better performance, and lead them like a real team, not just a task list

-Bring ideas, not just updates — if you see a better way to do something, I want to hear it

-Make day-to-day operational decisions independently (e.g., approving routine expenses under $X, adjusting schedules, handling standard client requests) without waiting on me

-Know when something needs to be escalated - and bring it fast, with a recommended action attached

-Spot problems and opportunities before they become urgent, and act on them proactively

-Send regular, clear updates so I always know where things stand

What sets the right person apart:

*Thinks strategically - understands why a task matters, not just how to complete it

*Can mentor and coach contractors, balancing being approachable with holding a high bar - understanding, but not a pushover

*Comfortable making judgment calls and owning the outcome

*Social media / marketing background a strong plus

Requirements:

Direct hire/contractor only — no subcontracting the role out

2+ years managing teams or contractors

Strong written and verbal communication

Track record of initiative - has run something with real autonomy before

To apply:
Send your resume plus a short answer (2–3 sentences) to this: "Tell me about a time you noticed a problem before anyone asked you to fix it, and what you did about it.

" Include the subject line "I'm your Best Partner" so I know you read the full post.
