Executive Assistant · France

An executive assistant in France —
without the hire.

Get a senior, bilingual executive assistant in France without recruiting one: on retainer from day one, NDA by default, no employment contract, no payroll, no notice periods.

Hiring an EA in France means French employment law: contracts, payroll, social charges, and a commitment measured in years.

For a presence you need days per month — not full time — a French hire is the wrong instrument. Freelancer platforms, at the other extreme, offer no continuity and no accountability.

What sits between a full-time hire and a stranger from a platform?

What you get

  • Operational from day one — no recruitment, no onboarding project
  • Calendar, correspondence, travel and meeting support
  • Follow-through: every open item chased to written conclusion
