You Don’t Need a Full-Time EA, You Just Need the Right One

Hiring an Executive Assistant (EA) doesn’t have to mean a full-time salary, a desk in your office, or someone sitting in meetings to take notes or actions.

In fact, for many senior professionals, what you really need is flexible, high-quality support.

Someone who understands your world, can hit the ground running, and doesn’t need hand-holding. That’s where a flexible EA comes in.

So, what do I mean by flexible?

It means you only pay for the time you need. No overheads, no onboarding, no long-term commitment. Just smart, reliable support when you need it most.

I’m very much part of your team, acting as an extension of your brand, representing you with the same care, attention, and professionalism you would expect from someone sitting outside your office door.

Who is this for?

The Executive who’s drowning in admin but doesn’t want to hire full-time.

The Founder who’s scaling fast and needs someone to keep the wheels turning.

The Consultant who’s juggling multiple clients and can’t afford to drop the ball.

The Partner who’s used to having an EA but now works alone or at home.

If you’ve ever said, “I just need someone to help me stay on top of things,” that’s exactly what I do.

What do you actually get?

A sounding board who understands your priorities.

A gatekeeper who protects your time.

A fixer who quietly gets things done behind the scenes.

A professional who’s worked in Global Recruitment and Finance, and knows how to operate at pace, with polish.

And yes, I’ll organise the client event, arrange your business trip, action your emails and remind you that it’s your client’s birthday next week.

Final thought

You don’t need a full-time EA. You need someone who gets it. Someone who’s been there, done it, and can slot into your world without fuss.

That’s where Sitara Executive Support comes in.
