Job description WANTED: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Growing systems. Small but mighty team. The satisfaction of bringing order to authentic work.

The Rope Co. is a faith-driven company, born of Maine's rugged coastline and maritime heritage, and seeks ONE exceptional individual to become the owner/founder's right hand. After 12 years of steady growth, we need someone who can organize the founder's (Logan Rackliff) world so he can focus on what he does best—building this company's future.

THE ROLE: You will be executive assistant to the owner. You run his schedule, manage his priorities, and ensure he's prepared and positioned for success every single day. When he succeeds, the company succeeds. You will be bringing order to chaos, systems and structure to ad-hoc, perfection to good enough.

You will create a rhythm to your days, but will need to also be flexible and ready for anything. You will never be bored or unchallenged. Your days will vary—coordinating trade show logistics, managing podcast scheduling, building filing systems, decorating the office, organizing travel, coordinating with craftspeople, managing customer communications. You'll wear many hats and need to think on your feet while maintaining exacting standards.

THE REWARDS: You will become indispensable to the founder personally and to the future of this family business. You will become part of a family, a values-oriented small but mighty team. When he can focus on vision because you've handled the details, when important opportunities aren't missed because you've kept him on track, when our business accelerates because he's operating at peak efficiency—you will know you made that possible.

We offer no corporate hierarchy or bureaucratic safety nets. Instead, we offer the chance to become indispensable to something authentic. To support craftsmanship that endures while helping build systems that last.

WHO YOU ARE: You're the person whose car is always clean and tidy. Whose room or household runs just so. You can't handle it being any other way—you feel genuinely out of control when things aren't organized. This isn't something you force yourself to do; it's simply how you're built.

You arrive early to everything, you run your life by the clock, you don't know how to live any other way. You see a cluttered schedule not as chaos but as opportunity to create order. You have the compulsion to immediately tackle what needs doing, and the backbone to tell me what you need from me to make it happen.

Experience matters less than what you're naturally built for. Traditional executive assistant experience is desired and highly valued, but passion, fit, and instinct matter more. If you're the person who organizes the friend group trips, runs the family calendar, or built systems in previous jobs nobody asked you to build—you might be exactly who we need.

We're equally interested in the 20-year-old who's never had the title but has been quietly running things their whole life—the person who color-codes their own calendar, who friends turn to when plans need organizing, who sees a messy system and immediately knows how to fix it.

THE TRUTH: If you're looking for a cozy, routine, desk job then this isn't for you. If you're someone who finds deep satisfaction in bringing order to meaningful work, who wants to help build rather than simply maintain—this opportunity awaits.
