Executive assistant

Job Title: Executive Virtual Assistant (EVA) – AI-Enabled Operations & Strategic Support
​Role Overview:
Selmasi Foundation is looking for a highly proactive, AI-fluent Executive Virtual Assistant to serve as a right-hand coordinator. This is not a standard admin role; you will be acting as a gateway and operational partner, managing sensitive company documents, international logistics, and complex project workflows for an AI-driven organization.
​Core Responsibilities:
​Operations Management: Overseeing foundation and business workflows, ensuring all processes are documented in Notion/Trello.
​Strategic Logistics: Coordinating complex international procurement and travel (specifically South Africa–China corridors).
​AI Integration: Using advanced AI (Claude/ChatGPT/Perplexity) to draft formal documents, conduct market research, and automate daily scheduling.
​Information Management: Handling high-value, sensitive company and legal documentation with absolute discretion.
​Gatekeeping: Researching service providers (legal, technical, logistical), vetting options, and presenting concise summaries for executive decision-making.
​Your Profile:
​You have a track record of supporting high-level executives or managing complex small-business operations.
​You are an expert at using AI to drive efficiency. If you aren't already using AI in your daily workflow, this role is not for you.
​You are tech-savvy, organized, and have a "system-first" mindset.
​You understand the importance of total confidentiality and data security.
​The Partnership:
​Commitment: 10 hours/week (Retainer-based).
​Environment: 100% remote.
​Culture: We move fast, value precision, and operate with a high degree of trust.
​Application Instructions:
To apply, please reply with a 3–5 sentence description of a complex project you have managed independently and how you used AI tools to save time or improve the outcome. Please also confirm your availability for an initial 15-minute video interview.
