The Opportunity: Summit Ventures is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to serve as the trusted operating partner to a Principal across operating companies, investments, family-office activities, philanthropy, travel, and personal priorities. This is a high-trust, high-accountability role for someone who can absorb context quickly, protect the Principal's time and attention, anticipate needs, exercise excellent judgment, and ensure that important commitments move from conversation to completion. Summit Ventures is a diversified, privately held operating and investment platform with interests spanning real estate, hospitality, financial services, technology, agriculture, experiential entertainment, philanthropy, and other entrepreneurial ventures. The environment is hands‑on and fast paced; priorities can shift quickly as new information emerges. What You'll Own: Executive Partnership & Attention Management Strategically manage the Principal's calendar across business, investment, family-office, philanthropic, travel, family, and personal commitments.

Prepare agendas, research, correspondence, talking points, and decision-ready summaries; follow through across stakeholders until matters are resolved. Use approved AI and productivity tools to improve meeting preparation, authorized note capture, research, drafting, task management, knowledge organization, and administrative efficiency. Bring practical experience with platforms such as ChatGPT/Codex, Microsoft Copilot, Notion, Granola, Plaud, Asana, Monday.com, Microsoft Planner, or comparable tools. Specific platforms will evolve over time. Build useful dashboards, checklists, templates, standard operating procedures, and searchable reference materials; identify repetitive work suited to sensible automation. Apply disciplined privacy and information-security judgment, especially when using AI, recording, transcription, cloud, or third‑party tools with confidential or privileged information. Travel, Family Office & Personal Coordination Plan domestic and international business and personal travel, including commercial and private aviation, accommodations, ground transportation, meetings, dining, activities, and contingency plans.

Relationships, Events & Special Projects Act as a central liaison among the Principal, executive leadership, portfolio‑company teams, family‑office and household personnel, advisors, business partners, and external stakeholders.

Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered. Must work primarily in person in Jupiter, provide reasonable flexibility for urgent matters, and travel occasionally. What Will Make You Exceptional: You are high agency, calm under pressure, low ego, and relentlessly dependable.

You remain accountable until work is truly complete and embrace useful technology while applying mature judgment about privacy, security, consent, and quality control. What Success Looks Like: The Principal is informed and prepared; calendar time, inbox attention, and information flow reflect the highest priorities; commitments and open loops have clear owners and reliable follow‑through; and recurring work becomes more organized, visible, and efficient.
