Job Description

Executive Assistant / Marketing Assistant to the CEO

About the Opportunity

Are you equal parts  highly organized and highly creative ? Do you love keeping an executive two steps ahead—but also have an eye for beautiful spaces, compelling content, and the details that make something stand out? This is a unique opportunity to become the  right hand to the CEO of a premier New York design and custom millwork firm , supporting him across a fast-moving business that brings some of the city’s most exciting residential, hospitality, retail, and commercial spaces to life.

This is a true Executive Assistant role with a creative twist. You will manage the CEO’s calendar, coordinate meetings and priorities, interact with clients, accompany him to meetings and job sites, and help ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. At the same time, you will help capture the incredible work happening around you—taking photos and video of projects, installations, job sites, materials, and behind-the-scenes moments that can be transformed into engaging social media content.

There is a dedicated editor, so you do  not need to be a video editor. What you do need is an eye for what is interesting, beautiful, and worth capturing.

The ideal candidate is a  sharp, tech-savvy, highly organized Executive Assistant who also happens to be creative . You are proactive, polished, discreet, and comfortable working with high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, designers, architects, and busy professionals. You know how to manage a calendar, anticipate needs, protect an executive’s time, and keep a fast-moving day on track.

If you are the kind of person who loves a perfectly organized calendar  and can walk onto a stunning job site and immediately see the content opportunity, this could be your dream role.
