About The Role:

IIX is seeking a highly experienced Executive Assistant to support the CEO and CIO in a fast-paced, global environment.

This is not a coordination job. It's a command-centre role — high-trust, high-stakes, and central to how our CEO and CIO function at full capacity. Incumbent will be the person who sees everything, anticipates what's next, and makes sure nothing slips.

The right candidate will be responsible for managing 2 senior executives across a complex, fast-moving global operation — calendars, communications, travel, stakeholders, board prep, and more. The right person won't wait to be told what needs doing. They will already be three steps ahead. With a keen eye to detail and a passionate interest in IIX and impact investing space, they will immerse themselves in the culture and history of the company to execute their role with depth and vision.

Key Responsibilities

- Master the calendars of 2 executives across multiple time zones — no conflict goes unresolved, no priority gets buried

- Own every touchpoint for high-level meetings: board sessions, investor calls, strategic reviews from agenda to debrief

- Manage all travel end-to-end: flights, visas, accommodation, ground transport, and detailed itineraries that actually work

- Triage and respond to high-volume correspondence with the right tone, the right urgency, the right judgment

- Serve as the nerve centre between executives and the rest of the organisation — internal teams, board members, investors, and key external partners

- Prepare polished reports, presentations, briefing materials, and meeting minutes that reflect the standards of the leadership you support.

- An individual who can manage tasks effectively using AI will certainly be prioritised

- Anticipate issues — deadlines, conflicts, gaps — before they surface as problems

- Follow through on action items from leadership meetings until they're done, not just delegated

- Handle confidential information with the kind of discretion that never has to be asked for

- Research and compile intelligence for upcoming engagements, conferences, and business development opportunities

- Manage expenses, reimbursements, and basic financial administration as required

What you bring to the role:

• 7+ years directly supporting C-suite or CXO-level executives in a remote capacity — not adjacent to it, in it

• Proven track record managing complex multi-timezone schedules with precision and composure

• Exceptional written English — you can write a board briefing and a casual follow-up email, and both will land perfectly

• Advanced proficiency in AI tools, Google Workspace and Microsoft Office; comfortable with Slack, Asana, Zoom, or equivalent tools

• A professional home setup in the Philippines with reliable, high-speed internet — non-negotiable

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Communications, or a related field (preferred)

• Familiarity with impact investing, financial services, or development finance is a meaningful advantage

The qualities that set you apart:

Zero drop Nothing falls through the cracks. You build systems so it can't.

Proactive judgment You act before you're asked — and your judgment is trusted.

Unshakeable discretion Sensitive information stays safe. Always. Without being told.

Communication precision Polished, clear, and calibrated to every audience.

Calm under fire When priorities shift and the pace spikes, you get sharper.

Tech fluency New tools are an opportunity, not a disruption.

What we offer:

- Direct daily access and visibility with top leadership

- Competitive compensation aligned to your experience

- Fully remote from the Philippines

- A mission that genuinely matters — impact at a global scale

- Room to grow with an organisation doing work that counts

- A values-driven team that takes its work seriously and its people seriously

We are looking for someone exceptional. If that's you, we want to hear from you.

At IIX, we look for individuals who are:

Passionate – Dedicated to impact investing and social finance

Resilient – Able to navigate challenges in emerging markets

Equitable – Committed to maximizing measurable social and financial impact

Maverick – Independent, innovative, and bold in their approach
