Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant To CEO Reports To: CEO Location: 229 South Ave. W, Westfield, New Jersey, 07909 Compensation Structure: $60,000 - $84,000 Do you thrive on solving problems and figuring out the possible... and impossible? Do you like to research tried and true solutions on the web and then adapt those solutions to make anything you do more optimal, efficient, and doable? You'll read web pages, books, watch videos... whatever it takes... to gain what you need to quickly solve a problem. Every day. That's just who you are and how you get stuff done. Then this might be the perfect position for you. Role You serve as the liaison between the CEO of Client Accelerators, and the rest of the company. This means you are responsible for executing processes and making decisions on behalf of the CEO. You will work on a one-to-one basis on a variety of tasks related to the CEO's working and personal life. You'll work directly with our accomplished CEO who usually has his head in the clouds thinking abstractly about visionary projects and client strategies. Your sole job is to make sure that many of his day-to-day necessities are taken care of so his time is freed up for thinking, business development and executing. Given his time constraints and personality, some of his requests to you will be abstract and ambiguous. But you're an independent and critical thinker who isn't intimidated by that. You never fear asking a "stupid" clarifying question. But you also don't need step-by-step instructions and you frequently do quick research to generally educate yourself on the topic, so you can ask smarter, clarifying questions to zero in on the right approach and solution for the task at hand. To be the best executive assistant for him, you will need to be flexible, calm under pressure, a strategic thinker, and also able to work quickly when needed. The CEO's requests won't always be easy. He's always stretching and growing himself and that will mean the same for you. If you get stumped easily, this is definitely not the right job for you. He's ONLY interested in someone who thrives on being stretched, challenged, intellectually stimulated... and never broken.
