About this role
Deborah Quazzo is a Managing Partner at GSV Ventures. She runs an active calendar across founders, LPs, education leaders, and policymakers in the US, India, the Middle East, and beyond. She's hiring a remote Executive Assistant to own her calendar and keep her day running.
Own Deborah's calendar. Schedule her meetings cleanly. Make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
What you'll do
- Manage Deborah's Outlook calendar end to end. Schedule, reschedule, hold buffers, resolve conflicts.
- Set up Zoom meetings (occasional Meet via G Suite) with the right attendees, agendas, and dial-ins.
- Coordinate across time zones — Chicago, SF, London, Mumbai, Singapore, Dubai.
- Triage incoming meeting requests. Ask the right clarifying questions before booking.
- Send clean, concise email confirmations to external counterparts on Deborah's behalf.
- Coordinate with the wider GSV team.
Who we're looking for
- 2+ years as an EA, scheduler, or calendar coordinator for a senior leader.
- Hands-on fluency with Outlook calendar and Zoom. G Suite (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Meet) a plus.
- Sharp written English — short, professional emails to senior external people.
- Organised. Clean systems for holds, confirmations, follow-ups, travel.
- Proactive. Spot conflicts before they blow up. Re-confirm invites without being asked.
- Conscientious. Triple-check times, time zones, attendees, dial-ins. Read every email all the way through.
- High integrity. Discreet with sensitive info — board calls, LP conversations, founder pitches.
- Responsive. EA work runs on minutes, not hours.
Hours
US Central business hours, roughly 8 AM to 6 PM CT (≈ 6:30 PM to 4:30 AM IST), Mon–Fri. This is a night shift if you're based in India. Be honest with yourself about whether that's sustainable. Some flexibility required when the calendar demands it.
Where & comp
Fully remote, anywhere — provided you can work CT hours reliably. You'll need your own personal laptop. Compensation is up to USD 1,500/month for the right candidate. Contract role.
