How To Apply
Send in the below task to roopesh@makkajai.com along with your resume.https://tinyurl.com/makkajai-ea-jobWe’re looking for a proactive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented Executive Assistant who can help our founder stay focused on high-leverage work — by taking care of everything else.This role is a unique mix of research, coordination, admin support, and trusted execution. You won’t be managing inboxes or scheduling back-to-back meetings. But you
will be handling key items that would otherwise distract our founder — from tracking compliance deadlines to booking international vacations to gently nudging vendors until things are done.
We don’t need someone to "check tasks off a list." We’re looking for someone who can
see what needs doing, ask sharp questions, and follow through without reminders.
What You'll Actually DoThis is a generalist role with wide scope. You'll own tasks like:
- Handling Admin and Compliance Follow-ups
- Chase down documents, deadlines, and people so nothing slips
- Coordinate with accountants, CS agents, or other vendors to get things over the finish line
- Doing Smart, Focused Research
- Find the best options for tools, consultants, travel spots, or gift ideas
- Summarize clearly, highlight tradeoffs, and help speed up decisions
- Managing External Relationships
- Work with external teams (designers, lawyers, writers, contractors) in a way that’s clear, respectful, and not purely transactional
- Follow up without being annoying, push things forward without drama
- Handling Personal or Life Tasks
- Book appointments, manage errands, compare vendors — anything that saves the founder time and mental load
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:
- Love being the person people trust to “just handle it”
- Write clearly, think logically, and don't need your hand held
- Get satisfaction from closing loops, ticking boxes, and cleaning up loose ends
- Respect other people’s time and energy — and expect the same in return
- Can manage ambiguity, prioritize ruthlessly, and get things done
You
Won’t Enjoy This Role If You:
- Need step-by-step instructions before getting started
- Are uncomfortable with tasks that mix the personal and professional
- Struggle with persistence or don’t like following up multiple times
- Want a traditional EA role with calendar and inbox control
Role Details
- Remote | Full-time | Long-term
- Flexible hours, async-first — some overlap with IST preferred
- You’ll report directly to the founder and work closely with a small external team (no large internal org)
Our Principles (Please Read These First!)We work a little differently. We care about deep work, trust, and clear thinking. You can read all our working principles here: github.com/makkajai/PrinciplesIf these resonate, you’ll probably love working with us.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in a similar support, ops, or coordinator role
- Strong written communication skills — and a sharp eye for detail
- Comfortable with modern tools (Notion, GDocs, email, etc.)
- Bonus: experience working with founders or external vendors
Hiring Process
- Async sample task (:45 mins)
- Written async back-and-forth
- 2-3 interview calls
- Offer!
We respect your time — and give honest feedback at every step.
