Personal Assistant (Pa) To The Ceo

Come join our team of some of the most talented stars within the association and credentialing community, and help us make the world a better place by raising the standard of standard-setting programs.

At Metacred, our mission is to develop, manage, and grow the best credentialing programs in the world. As an association management company (AMC) that specializes exclusively in credentialing programs, we develop and provide comprehensive management of certification, accreditation, certificate, and licensure programs for association, for-profit, and government clients.

We are hiring a Personal Assistant (PA) to the CEO to join our team.

Metacred’s staff culture is progressive—valuing innovation, collaboration, courage, professionalism, performance, client service, and accountability. As a team, we share a consistently positive attitude, sense of humour, and passion for excellence. We strive towards continual improvement and are confident in our ability to deliver exceptional results. We embrace change and thrive on challenges—viewing them as an invitation to evolve and succeed.

In addition to a robust package of traditional benefits, Metacred offers a fulfilling, Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) that respects and empowers our human resources and is driven by our company's and our clients' business needs, rather than arbitrary factors outside of the context of business needs. The premise of a ROWE is that work can get done anywhere at any time the team member is most productive. This is intended to optimize personnel autonomy, efficiency, job satisfaction, worker health and safety, performance, and accountability.

The objective of this position is to empower our CEO to focus on strategic leadership and client relationships by anticipating and providing support for all aspects of his professional and personal life-- including travel, correspondence, logistics, scheduling, and meetings. Our CEO resides in Northern Virginia and travels an average of 150k miles per year; the PA will need to be able to drive the CEO (on call) and to accompany the CEO on all domestic and international travel. Clean driver's license and valid passport required.
