Virtual Executive Assistant

About the Role

Viva Talent is seeking a Remote Executive Assistant to support fast-growing US and Canadian startups. This is not a traditional assistant role; you will take ownership, anticipate needs, and help executives win every day.

Location and Eligibility

This role is open to candidates in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

Company Mission and Values

At Viva, our mission is to create real career opportunities for women across Latin America while welcoming anyone who shares our values, regardless of gender. We focus on impact, growth, and giving people a place where their voice genuinely matters.

What You Will Do

As an Executive Assistant (EA) at Viva, you will work hand-in-hand with fast-moving startup leaders. They juggle competing priorities and rely on you to keep things organized, proactive, and one step ahead. You will support up to three executives across admin and operations, including:

• Own calendars, inboxes, meetings, travel, and expenses
• Keep priorities clear and the day running smoothly
• Improve workflows and document processes
• Support projects, reporting, and internal coordination
• Think ahead, solve problems, and anticipate needs
• Take initiative when something can be improved

How You Know This Is The Job For You

• You want your work to actually matter
• You are proactive and naturally organized

What We Are Looking For
