We're a fast-moving outdoor products company (Timber Ninja Outdoors — tree stands, climbing sticks, saddles) looking for a sharp, self-directed Personal Assistant who can keep up with a busy executive and help streamline daily operations. This is not a task-monkey role. We want someone who thinks ahead, communicates clearly, and gets things done without hand-holding. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Manage email inbox: triage, draft responses, flag urgent items - Schedule meetings and manage calendar - Make phone calls on behalf of the executive (vendors, follow-ups, coordination) - Research tasks, summarize findings, prep briefs - Handle miscellaneous admin tasks as they come up - Use AI tools (Claude preferred) to work faster and smarter WHAT WE NEED: - US-based with a US phone number (calls required) - Fluent English — perfect written and spoken - Strong AI fluency — you should already be using AI tools in your daily workflow - Bonus: experience with Claude, ClickUp, or Gmail - Proactive communicator — you don't wait to be told, you flag issues early - Available during US business hours (8am–5pm) RATE: $20–$30/hr depending on experience If you're the kind of person who reads the whole job post, start your cover letter with the phrase "Timber Ninja" so we know you're paying attention. Generic applications will be skipped.
