Atlas pairs the world's best operators with the founders building the future. One founder, full-time, trained before you start, coached after.
Become the key manager and driver of the Office of the CEO.
The Office of the CEO is the team around a founder that takes one more thing off their plate every week and keeps it off.
Agents handle the repeatable work. You run the office: you decide what moves, set it up, check it, and own the result.
One founder, full-time, in their hours.
“From the start, my client didn't treat me as a VA. She treated me like a member of the team, a real anchor.”
“One of the experiences that made me see myself as more than just an assistant, and rather as a strategic partner.”
“I came with soft skills already but the hard skills came from Atlas, and I learned a lot that I probably wouldn't have learned anywhere else.”
“Once you start scheduling those, following up, and you start to see the changes in the firm. For example, we started getting more clients, we started getting more revenue.”
“The training that we have before we get an executive is really intense. It helps you to grow and to shape you as an EA.”
“It's not just about being someone's assistant, it's about being someone's lifeline within their business.”
The Atlas Executive Management System: inbox and calendar design, travel, meeting systems, and the AI tools that sit on top. Week one with your founder is real work, not a warm-up.
We take the time to know your strengths, your pace and the hours you can work, then pick the founder you fit and tell you why. You meet them before anything is decided.
Monthly coaching, a community of top operators, and Atlas behind you if anything changes. If a match stops working, you stay with us and we find the next one.
Startups across many industries, founders who are building fast, and a seat where your judgment matters more than your typing speed.
Every role we open is one founder, full-time, in their hours. New roles are posted here first.
Stay safe: we only ever contact you from an @atlasassistants.com address, and we never ask for payment at any stage.
Founders hire Atlas so they can stop being the person who notices things. You see the clash, the gap and the unanswered email a day ahead, and you settle it without being asked.
Every Atlas EA builds automations. The skill founders pay for is deciding what to automate, what needs a person and what to escalate, then checking the output before it reaches anyone.
Updates that answer the question before it is asked. SOPs, trackers and handover notes written so clearly that the office keeps running on your day off.
They cannot see you work, so they judge you on hours kept, problems raised the moment they appear, and the things you were told that stayed with you.
Seven steps, and you can see all of them before you start. The first two you do on your own schedule, so nobody waits weeks for a reply. From step three, a person you can talk to makes every decision.
A few questions about how you work, answered on camera whenever suits you. No live slot to book, no waiting for a recruiter's calendar. You can record from a laptop or a phone, and you get one retake per question.
Your experience is reviewed and your skills are tested on the situations an Atlas operator actually faces: a full inbox, a clashing calendar, a trip that changed. There is no trick in it. It is the job, compressed into forty-five minutes.
Our talent team goes through your video and your scenario answers themselves, in full. Nobody is turned down by software, and nobody is rejected on a keyword. If you reach the conversation, you also get short written notes you can use.
A thirty-minute conversation about you: what you are great at, what you want next, and what kind of founder you would say no to. It is a two-way call. Bring the questions you have about the work, the pay and the people.
We write up your strengths, tools and availability into the profile founders see, with you, so it sounds like you and not like a CV. Your scenario work from step two becomes part of it, so nothing you did was for nothing.
We compare each new client's needs with candidates who have passed our process, then present aligned opportunities to you to see if you are interested and available. The founder meets a shortlist. If it is you, we tell you exactly why the fit works.
An introduction call, briefed by us beforehand: their pace, their tools, and what they want to hand over in week one. You both decide. If it is right for both of you, you start with a plan for the first thirty days.
Unlimited time off, with a minimum number of days you are expected to take every year, so rest is not something you have to negotiate. Plus ten paid holidays, chosen around your country and what you celebrate.
A No-Questions-Asked Day every month. No reason, no form, no guilt. We would rather you took it than saved it.
Regular sessions with our CEOs and founders, and specific feedback you can act on the same week. Not an annual review.
School runs, appointments, the life that happens outside working hours. Your work fits around it, not the other way round.
You are dedicated to one executive and their business. No ticket queue, no shared desk, no hourly tasks.
If a match changes, you stay with Atlas. We go back to the bench with you, use what we learned, and find a better fit, with your context carried across.

Held an executive's entire office together through three months of maternity cover, backed by a dedicated account manager.
Here is how the role grows, and what gets you to each step.
Run one founder's office: decide what agents handle, check the output, own the escalations and relationships.
Write and test the playbooks of what's agent-ready, and mentor the EAs coming up behind you.
Run the Office of the CEO across a founder's companies: the people, the agents and the weekly handoff.
A hundred-plus Atlas operators in twenty countries, doing the same job for different founders. You trade tools, templates and wins with people who understand the work, and you learn from the ones a step ahead of you.
Refer them and follow their progress. Placed operators, bench candidates and alumni can all refer.
You are paid twice a month. Work from the 1st to the 15th is paid on the 16th, and work from the 16th to the end of the month is paid on the last day of that month. Payments go through PayPal or Sigma Remote. Your first 30 days with a new client are a quality check, so your first payment is released once the client confirms the quality of your work. Your rate is set out in your offer before you accept.
It is a contract. You work with Atlas as an independent contractor on a fixed monthly retainer, and you sign a contract and an NDA when you are placed with a client. Contractors outside the US submit a W-8BEN tax form, and US-based contractors submit a W-9.
You need a reliable computer, a stable internet connection, and a working microphone and camera for client calls and interviews. Before a client interview, we ask you to confirm your Atlas video background is set up.
Our roles are full-time, and you work your client's hours, which is 8 hours a day. Most of our clients are in the US. Your working hours and time zone are written into your offer before you accept.
We compare each new client's needs with candidates who have passed our process. From there, we present aligned opportunities to you to see if you are interested and available. The client meets a shortlist. Our goal is to get a client matched within 14 days of their kickoff call.
The bench is where candidates wait to be matched once they have passed our process. We match you when the right founder comes along, and we keep you posted. While you are on the bench, we ask you to reply to any message from Atlas within 24 hours and to tell us if your availability changes.
We look for at least three years of experience in executive support or operations, C1-level English, and experience working with US companies. You must be available to work full-time. We also want people who already use AI tools in their day-to-day work, can run their own systems, and handle changing priorities well. Certifications such as PMP or Six Sigma are a plus.
No. There is no fee to apply, and you don't pay anything at any stage of our process.
Yes. You can apply and go through our process while you are still in your current job. When we match you with a client, we will ask for your earliest start date, so plan for your notice period.
Pick a role, tell us about yourself once, and we take it from there.
About 30 minutes to apply. You hear back within days, not weeks.
