We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented assistant to support our CEO with day-to-day administrative and coordination work.

  • Location: In-person in University Heights (Madison)

  • Pay: $20/hour

What You’ll Do

You’ll help the CEO stay organized, respond quickly, and keep important workflows moving. Responsibilities may include:

  • Email support: triage, drafting responses, follow-ups (including communicating professionally as the CEO when trained to do so)

  • Calendar management: scheduling, reminders, coordination

  • Mail + paperwork: managing mail, scanning/organizing documents

  • Bills + admin tasks: organizing and helping with bill tracking/payment workflows

  • Proofreading: light editing and proofreading of written materials
