Full-time with a probation period of 6 months.
Lekki Phase 1, Lagos (Hybrid)
Chief Executive Officer
Service is not a word you hear often in the workplace. Yet, it’s the singular trait that defines an Executive Assistant.
Someone comes into your world who believes in the mission and then dedicates their life to you for a period of time to help you attain it. For them, it’s a calling, not a job. This trait is so evident in the Military and non-profit organizations. I guess these fields readily inspire missionaries.
At Volition Cap, our CEO is looking for an EA who is called to serve. Not someone who wants proximity to power. And not one who is more interested in being mentored than in doing their job.
The ideal EA must be adaptable, rising to the occasion when accompanying the CEO to high-level meetings and switching it up to relate with artisans and personal staff. They also understand they have to live by the CEO’s clock.
This is a Management role, as it requires project management experience and exposure. But the EA can recruit an assistant to support.
Our CEO needs someone to manage their life’s work. Who can take ideas scribbled on a phone and turn them into slides and project plans that can be implemented? The ideal candidate must have a sense of urgency. Our CEO moves from idea to MVP in weeks, not months. They move very fast.
In this position, the EA will work on exciting projects, and there’s room to grow across our global organisation.
Ultimately, there are a few things our CEO will assess should you choose to accept this mission:
Are projects moving quicker because you came?
Is the CEO’s life easier because of you?
Are you more organized than the CEO?
Do you match the CEO’s level of rigour, quality and excellence?
If you have been called to serve and think you are suited for this role, please read on.
