About FreedUp
FreedUp places talented Executive Assistants with founders and executives at growing US companies. We free leaders up by saving them time and effort so they can focus on the work only they can do. For our EAs, we aim to be one of the best US companies for LATAM and Filipino talent, with a supportive environment and real room to grow.
About the role
We’re looking for a sharp, proactive Executive Assistant to support a US-based real estate investor and operator. He owns and operates apartment buildings, manages them in-house with his own staff, and has a development project underway. His work spans acquisitions, property analysis, financing, lenders, lawyers, insurance claims, accounting and tenant escalations. His staff handles day-to-day property issues, and he steps in when things escalate.
His inbox and calendar are the bottleneck. He receives a high volume of email across every part of the business, and no one manages his calendar today. You’ll take ownership of both: triaging his email, responding where appropriate, routing what needs his attention, and building his scheduling system from scratch.
This is not a task-taker role. He needs someone with strong judgment who can quickly learn who’s who and what matters, decide what’s urgent, and keep things moving without waiting to be told. Your first 30 days will focus on fixing his top three time-killers, and by 90 days you should be running his inbox and calendar with confidence.
This is a part-time, remote position. It requires excellent written communication, sound judgment and complete discretion.
Compensation: 600 to 800 USD per month (depends on experience)
Location: Remote, Philippines
Job Type: Part-time

Calendar and scheduling
