Job Description

Job Title : Executive Assistant 

Join Digital FastForward Inc., an energetic and forward-thinking value advisory firm helping enterprise leaders accelerate and capture value through Pega AI and Intelligent Automation.

We are on a mission to elevate how leaders think, design, and deliver value — and to expand the reach of our Value eXcelerator™ workshops, advisory programs, and thought leadership platforms.

This role exists to power the engine of awareness behind our workshops, events, content, and thought leadership. As we launch a new workshop series, publish our upcoming book, and expand partnerships across the Pega ecosystem, we're seeking a proactive and creative marketing intern who wants hands-on experience coordinating executive-level events, supporting campaigns, and amplifying a rapidly growing advisory brand

You'll love it here if you :

  • Demonstrate courage by making thoughtful decisions and embracing calculated risks.
  • Harness creativity and curiosity to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
  • Foster teamwork, believing in the power of collaboration and shared success.
  • Flourish in a dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment.

You'll love coming to work every day if you get, want and have the capacity to :

  • Manage complex calendars, prioritize competing demands, and coordinate meetings with precision.
  • Book and optimize executive travel (flights, hotels, itineraries) with attention to comfort, cost, and energy preservation.
  • Filter communication, flag what matters most, and ensure the executive is only focused on what moves the needle.
  • Handle special projects and operational support that help the business run better.
  • Prepare materials for meetings and follow-ups, including agendas, research, and recaps.
  • Think and operate like a second brain—anticipating needs and managing details before they surface.
  • Be available for in-person working sessions 2–4 times per month and in sync with Pacific Time hours.

In this role, you'll be accountable to hit the following outcomes :

  • Maintain 95%+ scheduling and logistics accuracy with no surprises.
  • Ensure all weekly planning is complete and aligned with executive priorities by Monday morning.
  • Travel plans confirmed 5+ days before departure (unless exceptions arise).
  • Response time to urgent items within 1 business hour (during agreed working hours).
  • Keep admin and ops task completion rate above 90% weekly.

Strong applicants will have the following qualifications :

  • 5+ years supporting senior executives or founders—ideally in fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environments.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with demonstrated ability to handle complex and dynamic priorities.
  • High Follow Thru (Kolbe 6-8) and strong situational awareness. You thrive in bringing order to rapid change.
  • Proactive mindset with the ability to make decisions independently and prioritize without constant oversight.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills—direct, clear, and professional.
  • Demonstrated ability to handle confidential information with discretion and emotional intelligence.
  • Comfortable using tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Asana, or similar platforms.
  • Located within reasonable driving distance of Newport/ Costa Mesa, CA with the ability to meet in person 2–4 times per month.
