Company Overview
LevelUp is a specialist agency providing outsourcing solutions to agencies, software vendors, and website owners. For over seven years, we have successfully collaborated with a variety of companies, providing valuable technical, operational, and back-office support. We have a large team of skilled and passionate professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality work for our clients.
Position Overview
You will serve as the right hand to the founder of a growing US-based consulting business. The founder manages a full client workload, drives sales, delivers services, and oversees hiring. We are looking for a highly capable Executive Assistant who can seamlessly take tasks completely off their plate and keep projects moving without needing to be chased.
You will often receive concise, one-line instructions (e.g., “Can you make these changes to the proposal?” or “Find time with this client next week”). You are expected to determine the next steps, identify missing information, ask insightful questions, and deliver the completed task. You will also proactively manage the founder—following up on outstanding items, adjusting overloaded calendars, and flagging stalled deals before they become an issue.
Role Details
• Work Environment: The founder is fast-moving and managing a full schedule. Replies may not always be immediate, so persistent follow-up is expected.
• System Building: There are no established systems yet; you will have the opportunity to build them from the ground up.
• Leadership: You will work directly with a founder who values high-quality work, provides honest feedback, and quickly notices when you are making their life easier.

- Excellent written English, ensuring clear, concise, and accurate communication on the first pass.
- Sound judgment in managing calendars across US time zones, effectively protecting focus time, spotting overloads, and knowing when to act independently versus when to ask first.
- Strong proficiency in Google Workspace and a solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
- Hands-on experience configuring and managing task or project tools (e.g., Monday.com, ClickUp, Asana, Notion, Trello), ideally having set up these systems yourself.
