Before applying, please review Miguel's LinkedIn profile in full. This is not optional — it is step one. We respect your time, and we ask you to respect ours.

This Is a Job First

Let's be direct: this is an immediate, paid employment position — not a volunteer role, not an internship, and not a trial. You will be hired - at 2-6 hours per week to work at a home office in Huntington Beach.

You will be compensated appropriately to match your credentials, and you will be expected to train along with simple projects to determine your level of interest to possibly continue.

That said, this role comes with an honest warning: the learning curve is steep, the environment is fast-moving, and the expectations are high. It will take approximately six months to fully get up to speed.

During his ramp period, you will need to bring extreme patience, exceptional customer service skills, and a genuine elite warrior mindset — the kind that figures it out and makes it happen even when the path isn't perfectly paved. Creativity and imagination is a huge plus for 2-way constructive feedback.

After a successful six-month evaluation, a long-term career opportunity will be formally offered — with the option to work in downtown, San Diego.

If you love a challenge, thrive under pressure, and are looking for a position that will genuinely grow into something extraordinary — read on.

Minimum Qualifications Required

We are looking for one exceptionally talented individual with formal training and hands-on experience across the following areas. These requirements are non-negotiable and are subject to modification as the role evolves:

• 5 years of Executive Assistant experience with verifiable, active referrals — ideally from a Fortune 500 company.
• 2 years of Human Resources experience at a senior level (gatekeeper and troubleshooter function)
• 2 years as a Legal Secretary or Paralegal at a top-tier Los Angeles-area firm
• 2 years of Technical Copywriting experience within the Microsoft 365 / Office ecosystem
• 2 years with online Project Management platforms such as TickTick or Smartsheet
• 2 years with Freshdesk or a directly comparable customer service platform
• 2 years of hands-on QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience.

Core Competencies

• Executive and administrative assistance at a high-output, high-pressure level
• Expense report creation, management, and executive-level support oversight
• Superior written and verbal communication — internal teams and external stakeholders
• Highly organized, detail-obsessed, and capable of managing multiple simultaneous priorities in a hybrid environment
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or related field preferred

The Honest Bottom Line

Yes — this insane job opportunity asks a lot. Miguel knows it. He isn't looking for someone who needs everything figured out for them. He's looking for the rare individual who sees an ambitious, complex, evolving operation and says "I've got this."

To be clear, after Miguel knows that once you can take the helm on an "aircraft carrier," he will stop playing backseat dufus and let you help him "operate the fleet."

Six months of proving yourself. A global career as the reward. Passport required.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, apply — and don't forget to review his LinkedIn profile first!
