Personal Assistant to CEO

Location: Riga, Latvia Workplace: fully About the Client Evotym is looking for an Executive Assistant / Founder Associate to work directly with our Founder and become a trusted right hand across business, operational, and selected personal matters. The main purpose of this role is simple: make the Founder’s life easier and create more space for her to focus on the areas where she brings the most value to the business. Role Overview We are happy to consider someone earlier in their career if they are smart, proactive, structured, curious, and genuinely enjoy helping and getting things done. This is a hands-on role.

Handle various personal errands and lifestyle-related tasks, including organising gifts, deliveries, reservations, purchases, and special occasions. Research and compare services, vendors, locations, products, and other options, providing clear recommendations rather than just information. Coordinate with external providers, contractors, partners, and service companies and follow up until tasks are fully completed. Support day-to-day operational and administrative matters, including documents, payments, bookings, invoices, and organisational tasks. Take ownership of ad-hoc requests and unexpected situations — finding practical solutions quickly and independently. Requirements Perfect for young professionals who are eager to learn fast.
