You know when one of those rare opportunities appears in your life, with just the right leader and just the right business? Well look no further than this newly created role to work with 99designs’ CEO as Executive Assistant.
So what’s this role all about I hear you ask?
At the heart of it, this opportunity is about establishing a trusted and solid professional relationship with the CEO and leadership team and effectively supporting and navigating his day, particularly during this time of incredible growth and scale.
Your support will ensure the CEO reaches new heights of productivity and efficiency through driving business goals, gaining a holistic view of his priorities and goals and ensuring he is consistently allocating his time and energy to the highest-leverage areas.
You will have a pivotal role in time and calendar management responsibilities, leveraging his time to ensure a focus on achieving goals and analysing his calendar to see where time can be better spent on higher-impact tasks.
You will need proven experience in being a pillar of support to manage his work day effectively, able to think on your feet and outside the box, whatever comes your way.
You are a master communicator but it’s more than dotting i’s and crossing t’s, you’ll master emails, documents and presentations to the highest of standards, and always strike the right tone in what you deliver.

The dynamic at 99designs is incredibly fun and ambitious. The team works hard towards a common goal and they know how to have a laugh. They have a number of internal events with everything from volunteering days, team building sessions, fitness classes, celebrating birthdays, to fitting out the office with ball pits and jumping castles.
With their recent acquisition by Cimpress, the team is scaling and therefore we’re on the lookout for an Executive Assistant with a few specific superpowers, to work with the CEO for the exciting and busy times ahead.
What are these superpowers you may ask?
You have proven and impressive experience supporting a CEO or executive, and leadership team.
You are hyper-efficient, super organised with an ownership mentality, ambitious & passionate with an off the charts eye for detail. You have the ability to be firm, yet politely so, provide guidance and support with a good dose of humour. You are discreet, trustworthy and can keep cool and calm under pressure.
You are tech savvy with a good understanding of Mac and all Mac applications such as Keynote, and can navigate your way around these tools with ease. You have a strong understanding of G-Suite and Microsoft office products, and other applications used within the business including Zoom, Trello, and Slack.
If you are an experienced EA who is comfortable with rolling up your sleeves to get the job done, can efficiently implement processes and systems to streamline and simplify your Executive’s day and have proven experience in being a strategic business partner to support your Executive on a higher level, to achieve his goals, then this might be the dream role you have been waiting for.
