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
