Executive Assistant

As Executive Assistant, you are the invisible backbone of our CEO's effectiveness — absorbing complexity, filtering noise, and freeing Julien to focus on what only he can do. Your role is simple to state, hard to master: remove every low-value task from his plate, without him having to ask twice.

Your mission: save 10 to 15 hours per week for the CEO. Every week. Without fail.

Day to day, you will

• Manage all professional and personal scheduling — meetings, travel, agenda coordination — with zero friction and zero follow-up needed. Success = calendar runs itself. CEO never misses a beat.
• Anticipate needs before they are expressed — prep briefs, pre-read materials, context summaries, and logistics — so Julien walks into every interaction ready. Success = you’ve already thought of it before he asks.
• Act as gatekeeper and filter — protect the CEO's time from low-priority interruptions while keeping the right people connected. Success = the right things get through. The rest doesn’t.
• Own low-stakes decisions autonomously — coordinate, confirm, respond, and close without escalation on routine matters. Success = fewer decisions land on the CEO's desk.
• Maintain absolute discretion — on business matters, personal matters, strategic conversations, and anything in between. Success = you know everything. You say nothing. You're trusted unconditionally.

This is not an administrative role. This is a strategic support role — one where judgment, anticipation, and discretion matter more than any tool or process.

Who You Are

• You anticipate, not just react — always one step ahead.
• Rigorous, discreet, and calm under pressure.
• You understand company strategy well enough to act autonomously.
• You simplify complexity. You don’t add to it.
• You know when to ask and when to act.

Must-Haves

• Exceptional organizational and prioritization skills.
• Fluent in French and English (written and spoken).
• Ability to handle sensitive information with total confidentiality.
