Executive Assistant

The Executive Assistant is the operational force multiplier for Zettabyte leadership in Taipei.

What You’ll Do

  • Calendar and priority management: build and maintain a clean calendar architecture (focus blocks, meeting buffers, time zone coordination, and prep windows). Enforce prioritization and say no on behalf of the executive when needed.
  • Meeting design and execution: confirm objectives, circulate agendas in advance, ensure the right attendees, and drive preparation. Capture decisions, owners, and deadlines. Follow up until closure.
  • Executive communications: draft and polish emails, memos, and internal announcements. Maintain a consistent voice and ensure accuracy. Handle inbound requests and triage quickly.
  • Information management: maintain lightweight but reliable systems for documents, approvals, contacts, and key reference materials. Build templates for recurring workflows.
  • Stakeholder coordination: schedule and host external meetings with partners and customers. Prepare briefing packs and ensure the executive has full context.
  • Travel and logistics: manage travel end-to-end (flights, hotels, ground transport, visa support as needed). Create trip agendas and handle changes in real time.
  • On-site office coordination: coordinate key office logistics that directly impact executive productivity (meeting rooms, AV readiness, visitor access, supplies).
  • Project support: support cross-functional initiatives (fundraising logistics, vendor selection, recruiting coordination, board pack assembly). Track action items across teams and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Confidentiality and judgment: handle sensitive HR, legal, and investor-related topics with discretion and appropriate access controls.
  • Continuous improvement: identify recurring friction and propose operational fixes. Build simple SOPs to reduce executive overhead.

You’ll Thrive Here if You

  • Native or bilingual proficiency in English; Chinese speaking and reading skills are sufficient.
  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, or senior admin role supporting executives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional calendar management and prioritization skills. Demonstrated ability to manage conflicting priorities and protect executive focus.
  • Strong written communication in English and Mandarin (business-level fluency). Able to draft polished emails, internal documents, and external presentations/messaging, if needed.
  • High ownership and reliability. You follow through, close loops, and proactively flag risks before they become issues.
  • Strong discretion and professional judgment with confidential information.
  • Operational excellence: comfortable building lightweight systems (templates, trackers, SOPs) and keeping them maintained.
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity and frequent change. You stay calm, organized, and effective under pressure.
  • Proficiency with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion or Confluence, project trackers).

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience in technology, data centers, semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise B2B environments.
  • Experience supporting fundraising, board operations, or investor relations logistics.
  • Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate drafting, summarization, scheduling, and workflow automation (with strong judgment and confidentiality).
  • Experience coordinating international travel and multi-time-zone stakeholder meetings.
  • Experience supporting recruiting processes, including interview scheduling and candidate experience management.
