*the role*
we're seeking a *dynamic, boundary-pushing* professional to serve as the executive assistant for our head litigator.
think of this role less as a traditional assistant and more as the "manager-in-chief" for a legal rock star: you'll structure his day, steer priorities, and ensure every commitment—virtual meeting, strategic initiative, or unexpected opportunity—gets the attention it deserves.
*key responsibilities*
- *daily accountability & planning*: kick off each morning with luis to review his top priorities ("good morning, luis—here are your top 3 projects; which shall we tackle first?") And guide him through the day.
- *virtual meeting support*: attend every virtual meeting with luis, capture action items and time entries, and immediately circulate concise debriefs to internal stakeholders (marketing, paralegals, co-counsel).
- *project ownership*: serve as the central point of contact for luis's team—track deadlines, escalate roadblocks, and proactively surface opportunities (speaking engagements, media requests, client outreach).
- *travel & logistics*: book flights, lodging, and ground transport for in-person events (including speaking tours and conferences).
prepare detailed itineraries and post-trip expense reconciliations.
- *personal touches*: arrange meals, order ubereats, or secure the ideal focus-friendly workspace—whatever keeps luis energized and on mission.
*what we're looking for*
- *strong personality & presence*: you know when to challenge a brilliant strategist and when to rally behind them.
you earn trust by delivering results—firmly, respectfully, and with a bit of flair.
- *obsessive organizer*: you love lists, calendars, and workflows—and you can wrangle a brilliant but impulsive mind into a strategic plan.
- *communication ninja*: exceptional written and verbal skills in english (spanish a plus).
you can draft a concise client update, push back diplomatically on scope creep, or debrief a hearing in real time.
- *tech-savvy*: comfortable with microsoft teams, case-management platforms, google workspace, social media channels, and other tools.
- *sense of humor*: you know humor fuels resilience.
