Job Description
At Athena, we’re building the future of executive support-where extraordinary Executive Partners (XPs) become the strategic force behind some of the most ambitious founders, business owners and creators, and leaders on the planet. This is your chance to elevate your career, expand your potential, and do work that meaningfully improves how people live and work.
*About the Role*
As an XP, you’ll become an extension of your client’s brain and business. You’ll anticipate, adapt, and act, creating space for your client to think bigger, move faster, and live better. Your strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and operational excellence will unlock your client’s capacity, and accelerate your own.
You’ll support clients who are:
* Founders scaling venture-backed startups
* Investors and operators running high-performing teams
* Public figures and creators with thriving platforms
* Leaders balancing big ambitions and full lives
*Where You’ll Work: The Athena Hub Model*
We operate through a system of regional Hubs: vibrant, in-person communities designed to deliver exceptional service, deepen collaboration, and accelerate careers. This role is part of our *Nairobi Hub*, and you must live within 80km to be eligible.
What the Hub unlocks for you:
* Intensive Onboarding: Two weeks of immersive, onsite training, because great partnerships start with deep preparation.
* Ongoing Development: Monthly Hub days and learning sessions to sharpen skills and strengthen connections.
* Community & Culture: Surround yourself with ambitious, values-aligned peers who raise the bar, and have your back.
* Rapid Responsiveness: You should be able to report onsite within ~2 hours when needed, depending on location.
*What You’ll Own*
* Optimizing your client’s time and priorities to help them reach their goals
* Managing high-stakes scheduling, inboxes, and communication
* Driving strategic research and initiatives forward
* Building rapport and trust with your client’s extended team and network
* Crafting executive-ready presentations and content
* Spotting what’s missing and jumping in before you're asked
* Anticipating roadblocks and solving problems proactively
* Becoming an indispensable, strategic thought partner
*You’re a Fit If You.*
* Communicate with clarity, confidence, and discretion
* Thrive in high-performance environments with shifting priorities
* Are relentlessly proactive and exceptionally organized
* Have strong written and spoken English skills
* Are tech-savvy (Google Workspace, Mac, AI tools, etc.)
* Want to grow in a career, and not just do a job
* Can work full-time (40 hours/week), often aligned to U.S. time zones
* Are fully committed, no side gigs or other jobs
*What Athena Offers*
*Training Phase (Maximum 6 weeks):*
* Intensive onsite training designed for your success
* You're considered a trainee under our training contract during this period
*Upon Successful Completion & Client Matching:*
* Earn up to KES 90,500
* Full benefits package including:
* HMO coverage
* Company-paid access to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or life coach
* Optical and medicine reimbursements
* Career advancement opportunities in our global organization and ongoing coaching, feedback, and strategic training
* Access to our 3,000+ global support network
* Metis College: Access a fully sponsored MBA through our exclusive partnership with Woolf University and Oxford.
*Technical & Work Setup Requirements*
* A suitable WFH setup in Nairobi
* Stable internet connection (minimum 30 Mbps)
* Device with minimum specs:
* 8th gen Intel i5 or better / Ryzen 5 3000+ / Mac Core i5 (2017+)
* 8GB RAM (16GB recommended)
You'll use your personal device during training. Upon successful client matching, you'll receive company-issued equipment.

* *Operational Excellence*: Streamline systems and workflows to enhance performance, reduce friction, and ensure scalability
* *Growth & Personalization*: Understand your clients' business and life goals to help tailor XP support in ways that feel both proprietary and powerful
* *Performance Management*: Drive clarity, accountability, and excellence across every partnership you oversee
* *Crisis & Conflict Resolution*: Navigate tough moments with confidence and care-turning challenges into opportunities to deepen trust
*You’re a Fit If You.*
* Communicate with polish, empathy, and discernment across contexts and cultures
* Lead with vision and coach with clarity-bringing out the best in others

* Paid time off, wellness initiatives, and healthcare coverage
* Career advancement opportunities in our global organization and ongoing coaching, feedback, and strategic training
* Access to our 3,000+ global support network
* Metis College: Access a fully sponsored MBA through our exclusive partnership with Woolf University and Oxford.
