Job description
Senior Administrative Assistant – Part-Time, Interim
Remote (you must reside in Ontario or Quebec) | 15–20 hours/week | $28–$32/hour

We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Administrative Assistant to provide interim executive and administrative support while our client works toward a longer-term direct hire solution. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned administrative professional who enjoys working independently, can quickly establish priorities, and is comfortable providing thoughtful, high-level support directly to a President.

The Opportunity
This is a fully remote, part-time position requiring approximately 15–20 hours per week, spread across 4–5 days per week. Hours will fall between 9am and 5pm., offering flexibility while ensuring consistent support throughout the workweek. The successful candidate must reside in Ontario or Quebec. Bilingualism is not required; however, strong English communication skills are essential; additional French communications is a strong asset.

What You’ll Be Doing
Working closely with the President and the team, you will provide a broad range of executive and administrative support, including:
  • Conducting research and compiling information as required
  • Coordinating and communicating with external vendors
  • Calendar management, coordination, and scheduling
  • Event planning and coordination
  • Supporting various administrative projects and priorities
  • Preparing clear, concise written communications
  • Anticipating needs, managing details, and helping keep priorities moving forward
  • Providing general administrative and organizational support

What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate is an experienced administrative professional who is comfortable working with senior leadership and can operate with a high degree of independence and discretion.
You bring:
  • Previous experience providing senior-level administrative or executive level support
  • Google Workspace experience is required as the main tool they work in
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, English required but the addition of the French language is an asset
  • A clear, concise, and direct communication style
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage changing priorities
  • A proactive, self-driven approach with minimal need for direction
  • Exceptional organizational and time-management skills
  • Strong judgment, professionalism, and discretion
  • Confidence interacting with executives, vendors, and other stakeholders

Why This Opportunity?
This role would be particularly well suited to an experienced Senior Administrative Assistant or Executive Assistant looking for meaningful, flexible part-time work. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, take ownership of your responsibilities, and provide immediate value in a trusted support capacity.

If you’re highly organized, self-directed, an excellent and direct communicator, and enjoy being the person who keeps things moving behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you as our client is looking to have someone join the team immediately!
