Ocean Getaways - EA & Operations Support Specialist

JobRack
US$21 600 - US$26 400
Full time
4 weeks ago

Hi there! I’m Trish, and my husband Brad and I run Ocean Getaways - a boutique yacht charter company that curates unforgettable ultra-luxury vacations aboard stunning crewed yachts all over the world.

We’ve been in the travel industry since 1985 and have had the joy of working with high-net-worth individuals, Fortune 1000 companies, and top-tier travel advisors to make dream vacations a reality.

We’re passionate about creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the highest level of service and personalization. 

We’re a small, tight-knit team that values excellence, proactivity, and making things better - for our clients and our internal systems.

If you're the kind of person who thrives on details, loves bringing order to complexity, and enjoys working with smart, service-focused people, we might be a great fit for you.

We’re looking for an EA & Operations Support Specialist who’s detail-obsessed, tech-savvy, and comfortable juggling executive admin tasks with operations support. You'll help manage the full charter process from inquiry to post-trip follow-up, while also helping us fine-tune and improve our internal systems and workflows.

In this role, you will:

🗓️ Manage executive calendars, schedules, and travel logistics
✉️ Draft and respond to high-level communications
📝 Prepare meeting agendas, reports, and summaries
📂 Coordinate internal projects and follow-ups
📃 Assist with client proposals, contracts, and charter documentation
🚤 Coordinate charter logistics (guest preferences, provisioning, transportation)
📇 Manage CRM entries and ensure all records are up to date
📊 Track charter milestones, payments, and communication timelines
🧭 Document and map existing workflows and SOPs
⚙️ Identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements
🛠️ Assist with implementing tools, processes, and automation
🧪 Help test and train team members on new systems
🗂️ Use project/task tools like Asana or Trello to manage deadlines
📁 Maintain digital checklists and shared docs (Google Workspace, Airtable, etc.)
🤝 Liaise with tech providers to optimize tool usage.

You’re someone who communicates clearly, thinks in systems, and thrives on organizing chaos into smooth operations. 

You’re meticulous, proactive, and trustworthy - especially when handling sensitive information.

You’re also a team player who enjoys making things better, working independently, and delivering excellent service with polish and professionalism.

Working hours: Full time role working from 5:00 am EDT to 14:00 pm EDT, with an hour's lunch break. Note there is some flexibility, depending on the day.

Requirements

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

✅ Bachelor’s degree preferred (Business, Communications, Hospitality, or related)
✅ 3–5 years supporting executives or business owners (luxury/service industries preferred)
✅ 2+ years of experience in operations coordination or admin management
✅ Experience reviewing or implementing new systems and workflows
✅ Familiarity with working with HNW clients or luxury brands

Brownie points for:

🌟 Experience in luxury travel or working with UHNWI clients
🌟 Comfortable with tools like iCloud Drive, MS 365, OneDrive, QuickBooks, Zoom, Dropbox
🌟 Experience with CRMs like HubSpot or Zoho
🌟 Familiarity with Asana, ClickUp, Lucidchart, or Miro
🌟 Basic knowledge of automation tools like Zapier or Make
