About the Role Seeking a genius-level Executive Assistant to become the force multiplier behind a values-driven CEO, industry innovator, and entrepreneur.

This is a dynamic, high-trust role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, drives execution with precision, and wants to be more than a simple assistant. The CEO is looking for a true thought-partner—someone who helps him move faster, think clearer, and execute better across both his financial business and his speaking, coaching, podcast, and radio ventures.

This role demands someone who can match his speed and intensity, anticipate his needs, and stay three steps ahead without being asked. You’ll handle business and personal tasks alike, helping Tony stay focused, organized, and operating at peak performance.

About the CEO Tony Drake is the Founder and CEO of Drake & Associates, a fast-growing retirement and wealth management firm rooted in entrepreneurial spirit and built on a culture of trust, ownership, and integrity. He’s a strategic visionary who thrives on speed, innovation, and impact.

A high-D DISC profile, Tony is direct, visual, data-driven, organized, and fiercely loyal. He expects results and operates best when surrounded by smart, capable people who can anticipate, challenge, and execute. He values honesty, extreme ownership, and always being coachable.

The right person will bring structure to the chaos, offer solutions (not problems), and make Tony’s life easier in ways big and small.

What you'll do Calendar, Communications, and Execution

Own Tony’s calendar like a chessboard—move with purpose, navigate shifting priorities, defend his focus, and stay ahead of the day-to-day demands

Confidently triage hundreds of emails, filter what matters, and manage full inbox ownership

Ensure every meeting is purposeful, prepared-for, and followed up

Help draft polished presentations, reports, and responses for both internal and external audiences

Identify roadblocks early and remove them quickly with good judgment and a bias for action

Meetings, Project Management & Strategic Support

Track deadlines, deliverables, and decisions across business lines

Coordinate with Tony’s leadership team, including weekly meeting prep and talking meeting minutes

Lead preparation for leadership meetings, support speaking engagements (including PowerPoints and content), and track projects with accountability

Maintain visibility into what’s happening across the organization and flag what matters most

Support ongoing special projects, speaking engagements, presentations, and coaching deliverables

Travel, Events, & Personal Support

Coordinate complex travel arrangements, including private flights (FBOs), hotels, car service, and restaurant bookings—with clear, concise itineraries in advance

Plan and execute internal team-building events that reinforce culture and community

Organize and occasionally attend offsite retreats, industry events, and coaching sessions (3–6x/year travel required)

Handle personal tasks such as travel, gifting, Amazon returns, and school calendar reminders with professionalism and discretion

Who will succeed in this role

A high-performing EA with

5+ years of experience

supporting a C-level executive, preferably in a fast-paced or entrepreneurial environment

A strategic thinker who can make judgment calls and act on behalf of the CEO when needed

A master communicator who can handle good news, bad news, and everything in between with clarity and competence

Emotionally intelligent, grounded, and loyal, with a strong backbone and zero fear of standing up to big personalities

Solution-oriented and forward-thinking, with a dog-with-a-bone mindset for getting things done

Deeply caring about their team and company mission

Proficient in Google Workspace, Basecamp, RingCentral, Salesforce, and 90.io (or a fast-learner). Must be fluent in Apple/Mac systems and own an iPhone — if you’re a PC or Android user, this won’t work

Bonus: Trainual, and/or have experience with EOS or traction systems

Who will not succeed in this role

Someone with low confidence, low self-esteem, or a timid presence

Career-changers who want to "try out" being an EA

People who need constant praise, reminders, or step-by-step instructions

Anyone allergic to speed, ambiguity, or feedback

A toxic personality who stirs up drama or tension on the team

People who overpromise, underdeliver, or make excuses when things go sideways

Anyone who gets flustered easily, hesitates to speak up, or is overly emotional

Someone who isn’t comfortable with fast pivots, complex personalities, or high expectations

Compensation & Benefits

$90,000–$100,000 annual salary depending on experience

Full health, vision, and dental benefits

401(k) with employer match after eligibility period

Participation in company-wide incentive programs

Opportunities for professional development

Relocation assistance may be considered for the right candidate
