Company Overview A multi-location boutique fitness and wellness company with studios on the US East Coast, and a new studio opening soon. Its culture values passion, accountability, authenticity, fun, and excellence. The Founder & CEO lives in Los Angeles. Alongside the studios, the Founder is an author and public speaker, hosts community events in LA (including a Venice-based event venue), rents out rooms in a personal residence, and is launching a clothing and lifestyle brand.

Role Overview This role works directly for the Founder & CEO, not just for the flagship fitness brand. You are the executive's right hand and keep everything moving behind the scenes. You capture what's in the executive's head, track every deadline and commitment, liaise with the team and advisors, and provide accountability on high-priority projects. No one reports to this role. You make sure payroll goes out, taxes are paid, paperwork is completed, and new ventures keep moving forward.

The role is fully remote and primarily internal, with minimal client contact. You start your day before the Founder logs on so that East Coast items are already handled. The outgoing operations manager has recorded operational processes for handover, and the company's digital CMO is actively automating workflows using AI tools.
