Open Positions

Summary: I’m looking for a part-time executive assistant (10-15 hours/week) to help manage day-to-day affairs in both my professional and personal life. Remote work is okay. Pay is competitive, and there will be the opportunity to grow into a larger role if desired.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Excellent project management skills, or ability to learn quickly (Asana, etc.)
• Diligence in file organization using Google drive
• Stellar research skills
• Competence in Google Docs, Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Canva
• Comfort and ease using social media (LinkedIn and Instagram in particular)

 Responsibilities:

• Manage email communication across several different email accounts
• Manage multiple vendors across different domains and projects
• Help administer a Substack newsletter and Mighty Networks community
• Screen and respond in a professional way to a large number of requests, developing heuristics for doing so
• Monitor social media accounts
• Coordinate logistics for podcasts, events, and media appearances
• Research and arrange travel
• Manage calendar/appointments/bookings
• Project management using Asana or similar tool
• Manage google drive folders for multiple projects
• Compile master events list and keep updated
• Manage a CRM for all key contacts and opportunities
• Pro-actively lead a weekly call with Luke to review outstanding items
• Develop best practices and systems for workflow and document them all
• Compile Meeting Notes and serve as scribe for selected meetings
• Many more unpredictable tasks—this role will feel like a start-up company environment and requires a high degree of flexibility

Requirements:

• High school diploma
• At least one year of experience doing similar work
• A heart

TO APPLY:

1. Send a cover letter and resume/CV to m(at)lukeburgis.com. Be sure to state the hourly rate you’re looking for, and please demonstrate familiarity with my work.
2. Include a 2-minute video introducing yourself. Share why you’re interested in the position and why you think you’re a good fit. You may include a link to it or attach it to your email, or—if you’d like to do it publicly—be sure to tag me at @lukeburgis and get my attention.

Step 2 in the process will involve responding to a few strange emails that I receive on a weekly basis with no direction, using prudence and common sense. Finally, Step 3 will be an interview with me.
