About the job XTN-21BA498 | EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

We are looking for a highly proactive and organized Personal Assistant (m/f/d) to provide direct executive support to the CEO of Gatti Services.
This role spans two core areas: calendar and schedule management to ensure the CEO's time is well-structured and protected, and open task & follow-up ownership to ensure nothing falls through the cracks across ongoing business activities, partnerships, and internal operations.
This is not a passive administrative role. The ideal candidate anticipates needs, initiates follow-ups without being asked, and manages the CEO's task pipeline with the same rigor a project manager would apply to a project backlog.

1. Calendar & Schedule Management (Primary Focus)

Maintain a structured task list of all open CEO action items, commitments, and pending decisions

Ensure the CEO is briefed on open items before relevant meetings or deadlines

Draft and send follow-up emails, Slack messages, or summaries on behalf of the CEO

Liaise between the CEO and team members to clarify priorities and relay instructions

Prepare meeting notes and action item lists after key calls or discussions

Handle document organization and file management in shared drives

Support onboarding logistics for new hires or contractors
