About the Role

The Executive & Operations Coordinator plays an integral role in a growing creative agency, supporting the CEO and helping turn leadership priorities into action. Working within a small, fast-moving startup team, this role ensures proposals, work orders, and projects flow smoothly from intake through approval, execution, and payment. The coordinator manages task flow in Asana, translates meeting notes into clear next steps, and maintains visibility across active initiatives. This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in building systems from the ground up and thrives in an environment where ownership, anticipation, and adaptability are essential.

Translate meeting notes from Otter and Zoom AI into clear, actionable tasks in the CEO Daily Tasks Project in Asana.

Send follow-up emails, confirmations, and internal updates on behalf of the CEO to keep momentum moving and expectations clear.

Ensure calendar invites include relevant notes, documents, and AI summaries so teams can reference decisions without needing separate follow-ups.

Post updates, announcements, and reminders across internal channels (email, WhatsApp, intranet) to keep the team aligned.

Proactively flag missing information, bottlenecks, or delays that could impact project delivery or payment timelines.

Maintain clean internal documentation so leadership always has visibility into what’s in motion.
