Posted on Jun 28, 2025

CPI is seeking an Executive Assistant to provide high-level administrative and operational support to our San Francisco based Global Managing Director (GMD). Based in Cape Town, South Africa, this role is critical to ensuring the GMD’s time is optimized, communications are clear and effective, and internal operations run smoothly.

Reporting directly to the Global Managing Director, the Executive Assistant will coordinate schedules, prepare materials for meetings, manage communications and travel, and support cross-functional collaboration across teams. This South Africa–based role will support a San Francisco–based CEO and therefore requires flexibility to regularly accommodate Eastern Standard Time hours to maximise cross over time.

This position requires a highly organized, detail-oriented, and discreet individual who can anticipate needs, juggle multiple priorities, and operate with professionalism and sound judgment.
