Hi, I will be hiring my first EA soon to help clear up my time to more executive-level work. I’ve shared a few EAs with other colleagues before, usually for scheduling meetings, taking notes, and some ad hoc requests. I’m wondering from all the EAs in here that support CoS/COO type roles, what responsibilities have you been given or tasks you’ve taken on that has helped the exec team immensely.

I have not worked for anyone yet, but based on my research, I understand that most business owners and clients are looking for someone who can help them stay organized and focused. This includes managing emails, calendars, and taking meeting notes.

Additionally, I can assist with managing travel plans, conducting detailed research, and accurately inputting data. I am in the early stages of my career, but I am eager to learn and grow. I believe I can help you manage these tasks effectively, and I hope you will consider my application when hiring.

Mileage may very depending on people and their actual needs. As a more basic level, an AA is often travel, scheduling, expenses, some smaller tasks as needed. An EA is all that plus I've done combos of: data collection/basic analysis, research, deck building, proofreading, communications (internal and external publishings), budgeting, staffing tracking (from who is staffed when to tracking PM scope), onboarding, orientation on certain company policies/standard practices/internal tools, time reporting for payroll, event planning/management, business development/pipeline tracking, and so much more. Depending on your trust level and performance of the EA, the possibilities can be endless. Just make sure the compensation matches what you are asking them to do and not asking too much.

Knowing they also support others means being extra careful to not overload the EA and helping them keep that balance for what they actually have time for.

I've often done a lot of travel planning and logistics coordination. Of course, there is always plenty of taking notes, scheduling, that kind of thing. But I've worked for some executives who have done extensive travel, and that became a big part of my job.

I build and maintain dashboards of project KPIs, maintain commercial pipelines and relationships, create SOPs and manage project timelines within my execs purview, manage vendors and partnerships.

Supporting a CEO in the past the main tasks were travel, extensive calendar management, compiling reports and event planning. Expense reconciling and document creation were additional responsibilities.

Hi! I’ve supported executives and teams in virtual assistant and administrative roles and some of the tasks I’ve genuinely taken on that help free up executive time include:

🔹Coordinating calendars and scheduling meetings using Google Calendar, making it easier for executives to focus on priorities.

🔹Organizing documents, notes and basic reports, so information is easy to access when needed.

🔹Managing communications, such as responding to routine messages or coordinating with team members and vendors for straightforward requests.

🔹Helping with ad hoc tasks, like data entry, transcription, and other small operational requests that can otherwise take up executive time.

By handling these day-to-day administrative tasks, I’ve seen executives have more space to focus on strategic decisions and higher-level work without getting bogged down in routine follow-ups.
