About Vantage

Vantage Commodities is a trader-led lumber firm based in Vancouver. We're a small, focused team that values sharp execution and clear thinking.

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, highly organized Executive Personal Assistant to support our Managing Director. This is a high-trust, high-ownership role—you'll be embedded in the day-to-day operations of both the business and the executive's personal life. You'll own the CEO's schedule, keep the office running smoothly, and handle everything from onboarding new hires to booking travel to picking up dry cleaning. If you thrive on variety, move fast, and take pride in making things run without being asked twice, this role is for you.

This is a replacement role with a target start date of September 3rd. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with the company long-term.

You'll be interviewed by our current EA, and her read on your personality and working style carries a lot of weight in our decision. We're a small team and this role is highly visible. We need someone who gels well with the people around them, not just someone who can do the job on paper.

Executive Support

• Own and manage the Managing Director's calendar end-to-end—scheduling, prioritizing, and protecting his time

Events & Scheduling

• Plan and execute company events, team gatherings, and client-facing functions
• Manage logistics for both work and personal events from start to finish

What We're Looking For

• Exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail
• Personable and easy to be around—you'll be working closely with the CEO and interacting with staff, clients, and vendors daily
• Discreet and trustworthy—you'll be handling sensitive personal and business matters
• Proactive and self-directed; you don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable and competent with computers and picking up current tools quickly
• Previous experience as a PA, EA, or office administrator is a strong asset but not a requirement
• Able to adapt quickly between professional and personal tasks without missing a beat
