Most remote jobs promise international exposure and deliver data entry. This is not that.

ABOUT RAY AI

RAY AI is an international executive support company that matches world-class remote assistants with high-performing founders, startup operators, and venture capitalists across the US and Europe. We screen over 120,000 applicants every year. Fewer than 40 become RAYs.

Our clients have worked with senior executive assistants before. They know what excellent looks like. As a RAY, you are part of a global team – every month, all RAYs connect on a RAY Connect call for peer support and shared learning. Here is what our clients say:

“We would not be able to operate with the same level of structure and efficiency without Daniela’s support. The value she brings is significant and directly impacts how Green Horizon Partners functions day to day.”

– Jan Ripken, Co-founder & Managing Partner, Green Horizon Partners

Daniela | RAY AI Executive Partner | Bachelor’s in English – transitioned from a career in education

“Ash supports us across the business. Her support removes background noise and gives us peace of mind.”

– Philip Brohlburg & Johannes Sörenson, Founders, ahead

Ashleigh | RAY AI Executive Partner | BSc English Literature – background in sales and finance

One of our RAYs joined as an Executive Assistant. Within twelve months, they were promoted to AI Project Manager. Our longest-serving RAY has been with their client for nearly two years.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a RAY, you are your client’s operational partner. You build automations, produce financial reports, conduct research, and lead projects that improve how your client’s business runs structurally. This is a senior, high-trust role.

● Manage your client's inbox, calendar, travel, and tasks – end to end, without supervision

● Build and maintain AI-powered automations and workflows using Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, N8N, and Notion – tools you are trained on before your first client match

● Conduct research and produce polished reports for investor meetings, board presentations, and strategic decisions

● Handle financial reporting, expense management, and accounting preparation

● Lead long-horizon projects that improve how your client's business runs structurally

● Anticipate your client's needs before they arise – if they have to ask you twice, something has gone wrong

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

● Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional qualification

● C2-level English, written and spoken – you will write on behalf of a founder to their most important clients and partners

● High agency – the instinct to act without being told, take ownership of outcomes, and solve problems before they escalate. Assessed directly.

● Genuine curiosity about AI tools – training is provided, but the curiosity must already be there

● Exceptional organisational discipline and attention to detail – nothing falls through the cracks, ever

● Discretion – your client will trust you with their most sensitive information from week one

WHAT YOU EARN AND RECEIVE

● Monthly salary: up to R20,000 – paid reliably every month as an independent contractor

● Performance bonus: up to 3 additional months’ salary per year. Every RAY who has hit their performance markers has received a bonus.

● 10% salary raise at 3 months: performance-gated, and 95% of our RAYs earn it. Your earnings increase within your first quarter.

● Company laptop and hardware: fully provided – you do not spend anything on equipment

● 4-week paid training bootcamp: Week 1: operational excellence. Week 2: AI and LLMs. Week 3: modern productivity tools. Week 4: the RAY standard – all before your first client match

● German language classes: fully sponsored by RAY AI for team members working with German-speaking clients

● Expert community: every RAY has access to automation engineers, presentation designers, and language specialists

● RAY Connect: a monthly community call for all RAYs – peer support, shared learning, and a team that has your back from day one

● Career progression: one of our RAYs was promoted from Executive Assistant to AI Project Manager within twelve months
