About Verlo Verlo is building the AI operating system for wealth management firms.

We help financial advisory firms unify their data, deploy AI agents across their operations, and transform manual processes into controlled, compliant workflows. Verlo supports work ranging from portfolio reviews and meeting preparation to account opening, paperwork, CRM updates, and client service.

We are an early-stage, rapidly growing company headquartered in St. John's. We are looking for ambitious, resourceful people who want to help build both the product and the company behind it.

The role Verlo is hiring an Executive Assistant to support our CEO and COO and help the company operate effectively as we grow.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role at the centre of the company. You will manage executive priorities, protect leadership’s time, keep important work moving, and ensure that commitments do not get lost between meetings.

You should be equally comfortable coordinating a board meeting, reorganizing a complex calendar, preparing an executive for an important conversation, and following up to ensure decisions become action.

This is more than a scheduling position. You will help create the operating rhythm that allows Verlo's leadership team to move quickly without losing focus or attention to detail.
