Executive Assistant & Technical Project Coordinator

Talencore•Vancouver, BC

About The Position

This is a remote position. Our client, a specialized team of FileMaker development experts in Vancouver, Canada, is hiring an Executive Assistant & Technical Operations Coordinator to be the CEO's right hand and the operational backbone of a roughly 10-person team. You will keep our projects, infrastructure, and people running day to day: owning time tracking and work orders, supporting IT and infrastructure, running onboarding and offboarding, handling marketing campaigns, and supporting the CEO directly. You will report to the CEO and work closely with clients, the development lead, and the systems administrator. This is a broad, detail-critical role, and it is a lot of surface area for the hours - ruthless prioritization, speed, and accuracy matter. The non-negotiables: communications go straight to clients and staff and must be right the first time, and recurring processes have to run without being chased. Strong technical aptitude is essential - you will work in databases, time-tracking and security tools, and basic server / network systems.

Requirements

Strong technical aptitude - comfortable with databases (FileMaker an asset), time-tracking / work-order systems, RMM and security tools, and basic server / networking concepts.
Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, especially in client email - the right message to the right people, the first time.
Follows detailed instructions precisely the first time, with little rework.
Self-directed - anticipates next steps, takes ownership, and works independently.
Highly organized; juggles many recurring processes without dropping any.
Discreet and reliable with credentials and confidential information.
Clear, professional written English; approachable and responsive.
Comfortable with Hubstaff, Trello, Freshdesk, 1Password, EmailOctopus, Google Workspace, and AI tools (e.g. Claude).
Must complete a criminal record check and FOIPPA privacy training.
Must work on a machine running NinjaOne and SentinelOne.
Team can provide a basic machine (Mac or Windows 11) and recover the cost from pay, or finance the purchase.
