Strategic Executive Assistant for CEO, Avignon

As Executive Assistant, you are the invisible backbone of our CEO's effectiveness— absorbing complexity, filtering noise, and freeing Julien to focus on what only he can do. Your role is simple to state, hard to master: remove every low-value task from his plate, without him having to ask twice.

Your mission: save 10 to 15 hours per week for the CEO. Every week. Without fail. Day to day, you will : Manage all professional and personal scheduling— meetings, travel, agenda coordination — with zero friction and zero follow-up needed. ■ Success = calendar runs itself. CEO never misses a beat.

Anticipate needs before they are expressed— prep briefs, pre-read materials, context summaries, and logistics — so Julien walks into every interaction ready. ■ Success = you've already thought of it before he asks.

Act as gatekeeper and filter— protect the CEO's time from low-priority interruptions while keeping the right people connected. ■ Success = the right things get through. The rest doesn't.

Own low-stakes decisions autonomously— coordinate, confirm, respond, and close without escalation on routine matters. ■ Success = fewer decisions land on the CEO's desk.

Maintain absolute discretion— on business matters, personal matters, strategic conversations, and anything in between. ■ Success = you know everything. You say nothing. You're trusted unconditionally.
