Oceans is rapidly becoming the partner of choice for high-growth companies looking to smartly build their teams and profitably scale their businesses. As global distributed workforces proliferate, Oceans stands apart with its unique ‘embedded talent’ model and its differentiated talent pool based in Sri Lanka.
We’re looking for experienced Executive Assistants, motivated by helping others to succeed, to act as Coaches for our Sri- Lanka based EAs (“EA+ Divers”) as they navigate the high seas of the role for the first time.
This is a unique opportunity to join a new and ambitious company that’s already profitable and successful, in a dynamic role that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Position - EA Coach
If you've ever been in need of a ‘Dive Buddy’ in your career as an Assistant or Chief of Staff, this is your chance to give back.
You’ll provide live knowledge and support to our EAs who are currently in-market with clients, answering ad hoc questions about everything from U.S. cultural differences to location-specific travel bookings to how to navigate software. You are the sounding board for any administrative, operational, or relational queries our EAs may have during the course of their day.
As you know, the role of an EA can be demanding in many ways — so you'll also provide emotional and motivational support when necessary, life-coaching them on reframes and mindset shifts to further their impact at work.
You'll help your assigned EAs solve challenging problems, unlock scaling issues, and invent new workflows from scratch. Leading from behind, you'll work closely to improve their tactics and transform them into the most proactive and predictive Assistants they can be.

Oversee a dedicated group of assigned EAs for a defined period to guide them in their day to day work Lead live virtual 1:1 coaching calls and monitor Slack for urgent queries
