About the Opportunity

Athena is focused on helping people work and live better. Through a personalised support model strengthened by modern AI tools, the company supports growth-driven leaders so they can work more efficiently, live more fully, and achieve stronger results. This role is designed for someone who wants to develop, take real ownership, and help shape the future of executive support.

Role Overview

As an Athena Executive Partner, you will do far more than standard administrative support. You will work as a strategic partner to founders, investors, creators, and other senior leaders, operating within a wider support ecosystem that includes the member, their executive coach, and the broader Athena network.

The work is varied and fast-moving. On one day, you may be coordinating a critical investor meeting; on another, you may help build a personal productivity system for a member. Athena offers ongoing training so you continue learning new capabilities while delivering high-quality, adaptable support. The environment is structured but still gives you room to grow, with autonomy when appropriate and support when needed.

Key Responsibilities

Help members protect their time and focus by using strategic judgment and taking initiative.
Handle complex calendars, communications, and logistics with accuracy and care.
Move research tasks and strategic projects forward efficiently.
Develop strong working relationships with members’ wider networks and key stakeholders.
Prepare polished presentations and executive-level content.
Spot needs early and resolve issues before they escalate.
Work closely with the member’s executive coach to keep priorities aligned and execution seamless.

Athena Hub Model

This position requires you to live within 80 km of the designated Hub location.

You will complete two weeks of intensive onsite onboarding and training.
Monthly Hub sessions and continuous learning are part of the ongoing development structure.
You will work alongside ambitious peers who share similar values.
You must be able to report onsite within about two hours when required.

Fit and Working Style

You communicate clearly, confidently, and with discretion.
You perform well in high-pressure environments where priorities can change quickly.
You are highly organized and naturally proactive.
You have strong written and spoken English skills.
You are comfortable using Google Workspace, Mac systems, and AI tools.
You are seeking long-term career growth, not just a short-term role.
You can work full time for 40 hours per week, often aligned to U.S. time zones.
You are fully committed to the role and do not have side work or other employment.

Training and Employment Structure

During the first phase, which can last up to 6 weeks, you will undergo intensive onsite training and be treated as a trainee under a training contract.

Compensation and Benefits

After successful completion of training and once matched with a member, compensation can reach up to KES 90,500.

Weekly pay
HMO coverage
Company-paid access to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or life coach
Reimbursement for optical care and medicine
Career growth opportunities within a global organization
Continuous coaching, feedback, and strategic training
Access to a global support network of more than 3,000 people
Additional lifestyle perks, including pet-related benefits

Technical Setup

A suitable work-from-home setup in Nairobi is required.
You need a stable internet connection of at least 30 Mbps.
Your device must meet one of the following minimum specifications: 8th gen Intel i5 or newer, Ryzen 5 3000 or newer, or Mac Core i5 (2017 or later).
Minimum memory requirement is 8 GB RAM, though 16 GB is recommended.

Equipment Arrangement

You will use your own device during the training period. If you successfully complete the process and are matched with a member, the company will provide equipment.

Why This Role Stands Out

Athena describes its culture as one where work is designed to work for you. The organization offers meaningful growth, a global environment, and the chance to contribute on an international stage. Your ideas are expected to matter, and the role is intended for people who want to make a real impact while building transferable career skills.

The company emphasizes collaboration, shared success, curiosity, high performance, and continuous development through onboarding, mentorship, and targeted growth programs.
