**Department:** Operations

## Description

### Executive Partner — Moonlight

**Location:** Remote (Global) | **Reports to:** Client Founder/CEO (US-based) | **Hours:** Full-time, aligned to US business hours

### About Moonlight

Moonlight is a boutique global staffing agency that places elite Executive Partners with US-based founders and CEOs. We don't do admin support; we build long-term, high-trust partnerships between exceptional operators and the executives who need them most. Our Executive Partners aren't assistants. They're **captains in their own right**, trusted to think ahead, own outcomes, and grow alongside the leaders they support.

### The Role

As an Executive Partner, you'll be the strategic right hand to a US-based founder or CEO — anticipating needs before they're voiced, protecting their time like it's your own, and becoming the person they can't imagine running their business without. This isn't a task-execution role. It's a seat at the table.

### What You'll Own

-   Strategic calendar and inbox management, triaging what matters, filtering out what doesn't
-   Executive-ready research, reports, and presentations that drive real decisions
-   Cross-functional coordination across the exec's business and personal priorities
-   Travel, logistics, and meeting coordination with zero dropped balls
-   Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and first point of contact on the exec's behalf
-   Proactively spotting opportunities to make the exec's life and business run better

## Requirements

-   **3+ years** supporting a founder/CEO or C-suite exec — ideally with progression from assistant into a chief-of-staff or Executive Partner–level role
-   **End-to-end ownership**, not single-task support — you've run inbox, calendar, CRM, and client comms as whole workflows, not waited for instructions
-   **A named system**, not just good instincts — a repeatable framework for inbox triage, calendar management, and prioritizing strategic vs. operational vs. urgent
-   **Voice-matching ability** — you can study how an exec writes and draft on their behalf convincingly
-   **External representation experience** — you've stood in for an exec on client calls, meetings, or board settings, not just scheduled them
-   **Tool fluency that goes deep** — CRM and task management platforms (Asana, Monday, ClickUp) you've configured, not just used
-   **A real story of composure under pressure** — a time something slipped, how you owned it, and what changed after
-   **Evidence of moving up the value chain** — building a tool, catching an issue early, proposing a project unprompted
-   **A quantifiable track record** — specific outcomes tied to your own contribution, not team results

## Benefits

-   **Probationary period (first 3 months):** $1,200 USD/month (approx. 19,000 ZAR)
-   **Post-probationary:** $1,400 USD/month (approx. 22,000 ZAR)
-   **Paid time off** on all observed US Holidays
-   **Health Benefit** of up to $600 USD annually, active from month six

### Why Moonlight

-   **Global talent, global standards.** We source Executive Partners worldwide — this isn't a single-market pipeline, it's a global bench of top-tier talent.
-   **Real partnership, not gig work.** You're matched long-term with one executive, not rotated across accounts.
-   **Built-in growth path.** Clear pay progression after probation, health coverage, and a team that invests in where you're headed next — not just what you can do today.
-   **Boutique means personal.** Small, high-touch team. You're never a ticket number.

**Ready to become someone's indispensable right hand?** Apply today and let's see if it's a match.

_Moonlight is an equal opportunity employer sourcing talent globally. We evaluate every candidate on merit, judgment, and fit — not geography._
