About Athena

Athena is on a mission to improve how people work and live. Our membership helps growth-motivated leaders work smarter, live better, and achieve more with a personalized support team backed by the latest in AI tools. Join Athena to grow, take ownership of your career, and redefine the future of executive partnership and support.

The Role

Athena Executive Partners (XPs) go beyond the role of traditional executive assistants. As an Athena XP, you'll become a strategic collaborator supporting ambitious founders, investors, creators, and industry leaders as part of an integrated team that includes your dedicated client, their executive coach, and the broader Athena network.

No two days will be the same - one day you might be organizing a high-stakes investor meeting, the next helping design a client’s personal productivity system. Athena provides continuous training so you’re always learning new skills while delivering exceptional, evolving support. Athena gives you the chance to work in a structured environment with room to grow and a team that has your back. You’ll have autonomy when you want it, and support when you need it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize your client's time and priorities through strategic thinking and proactive execution
  • Manage high-stakes scheduling, communications, and complex logistics
  • Drive research and strategic initiatives forward
  • Build trust with your client's extended network and stakeholders
  • Create executive-ready presentations and content
  • Anticipate needs and solve problems before being asked
  • Collaborate with your client's executive coach to ensure aligned priorities and seamless execution

  • Ongoing development : Monthly Hub sessions and continuous learning
  • Community : Work alongside ambitious, values-aligned peers
  • Responsiveness : Ability to report onsite within ~2 hours when needed
  • You're a great 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 English communication skills (written and spoken)
  • Are tech-savvy (Google Workspace, Mac, AI tools)
  • Want career growth, not just a job
  • Can work full-time (40 hours / week), often aligned to U.S. time zones
  • Are fully committed (no side gigs or other employment)
  • What to Expect

    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 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.

Greatness is contagious, and you'll be surrounded by curious, ambitious people who challenge the norm and grow together.

    Our Nairobi Hub is a community of unconventional thinkers where success is mutual. From day one, you’ll be supported through intensive onboarding, hands-on mentorship, and targeted development programs designed to accelerate your growth. Our high-performance culture is fueled by collaboration, feedback, and a shared commitment to excellence, and we invest deeply in your development.

    Why work here?

    At Athena, our purpose is to improve how people work and live by unlocking the power of time and talent. We're the industry leader in premium executive support, working with top-tier executives and leaders who demand excellence.

    Our XPs are equipped with cutting-edge technology and tools that enable them to deliver unparalleled client experiences and help clients maximize their potential.

    We offer competitive benefits, extensive professional development, and a culture built on high performance, authenticity, and recognition.

    Join us to be part of a team that's redefining executive support. At Athena, you'll work alongside exceptional colleagues, master advanced skills, and have the opportunity to make a transformative impact on your career.
