Background information about the job or company (e.g., role context, company overview)

Virtual Executive Assistant role at Ray AI in Nairobi, providing high-level operational support to clients. Requires a Bachelor’s degree, C2-level English proficiency, high agency, and curiosity about AI tools. Full-time, remote role offering up to KES 100,000 monthly plus performance bonuses.

Responsibilities or duties

As a RAY, you are your client’s operational nerve centre. You build systems, produce reports, run research, handle financial analysis, and lead projects that improve how your client’s business operates at a structural level.

• Manage your client’s inbox, calendar, travel, and tasks – end to end, without supervision
• Build and maintain AI-powered automations and workflows using Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, N8N, and Notion – tools you are trained on before your first client match
• Conduct research and produce polished reports for investor meetings, board presentations, and strategic decisions
• Handle financial reporting, expense management, and accounting preparation
• Lead long-horizon projects that improve how your client’s business runs structurally
• Anticipate your client’s needs before they arise – if they have to ask you twice, something has gone wrong

Qualifications or requirements (e.g., education, skills)

We hire for drive, ownership, and intelligence. Our strongest RAYs come from backgrounds as different as technology, finance, and the arts. The non-negotiables:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent – firm requirement
• C2-level English, written and spoken – you will represent a founder’s voice to their clients and partners
• High agency – you act without being told, take ownership of outcomes, and bring solutions. This is assessed directly.
• Genuine curiosity about AI tools – RAY provides full training, but you need to be the kind of person who leans in, not away
• Exceptional organisational discipline and attention to detail – nothing falls through the cracks, ever
• Discretion and professionalism – your client will trust you with their most sensitive information from week one
