Job Summary:
We are seeking a motivated Executive Assistant to join our team in Greenwood Village, Colorado! This role is the strategic right hand to two C-suite executives - the Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Information Officer whose functions increasingly intersect on revenue, distribution, digital, and technology-enabled guest experience initiatives. We're looking for a highly functioning, self-directed professional who anticipates needs before being asked, exercises sound judgment under ambiguity and operates as a trusted extension of both executives. This is not a purely clerical role: it requires someone who can manage complexity across two fast-moving departments, protect executive time and focus, and represent both offices with polish and discretion.


Responsibilities

Executive Calendar, Travel & Priority Management

• Proactively manage complex, often-competing calendars for the CCO and CIO, resolving conflicts and prioritizing based on business impact - not just first-come, first-served.
• Anticipate scheduling needs around board meetings, budget cycles, and property visits; build in prep and travel-buffer time.
• Coordinate complex domestic and international travel itineraries, adjusting in real time as plans shift.
• Prepare, reconcile, and submit expense reports with a high degree of accuracy and minimal oversight.

Communication & Stakeholder Coordination

• Serve as a professional first point of contact for both offices, screening and triaging inquiries from senior leaders, and external partners.
• Draft, proofread, and manage correspondence on behalf of both executives, matching tone and intent.
• Track commitments and follow-ups made in meetings, keeping both executives ahead of deadlines.
• Build and maintain relationships across the Commercial and Technology organizations to keep information flowing smoothly between the two offices.

Meeting & Project Support

• Own end-to-end logistics for leadership meetings, offsites, and department summits - venue, catering, A/V, materials, and on-site execution.
• Track action items and deliverables across cross-functional Commercial and Technology initiatives, flagging risks to timelines proactively.
• Prepare agendas and briefing materials in advance so both executives walk into meetings well prepared.

Presentations, Reporting & Documentation

• Coordinate building polished, board- and executive-ready PowerPoint presentations, translating rough notes or bullet points into a clear, professional narrative.
• Maintain and organize Excel-based tracking tools, dashboards, and reports for both departments.
• Manage version control and edits on shared decks and documents, ensuring a single source of truth.

Confidentiality, Discretion & Judgment

• Regularly handle sensitive commercial and technology information - competitive strategy, personnel matters, budget data, board materials with absolute discretion.
• Use independent judgment to determine what warrants immediate executive attention versus what can be handled directly or delegated.

Qualifications

• 5+ years supporting C-suite or senior executives, ideally across more than one function or department simultaneously.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Copilot and other AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude; comfortable picking up new tools and platforms quickly.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong judgment on tone for different audiences (board, executive, vendor).
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple, shifting priorities across two demanding executives without dropping details.
• Experience supporting a technology or commercial/marketing function is a plus but not required.

The Ideal Candididate is:

• A true self-starter who identifies what needs to happen and does it without waiting to be asked.
• Proactive rather than reactive, consistently a step ahead of both executives' needs.
• High functioning under pressure, calm and organized when priorities shift quickly.
• Resourceful and solution-oriented, comfortable making decisions in ambiguous situations.
• Discreet and trustworthy, with unquestionable judgment around confidential information.
• Collaborative, building genuine working relationships across two distinct department cultures.

Compensation:

The wage range is $28 - $35 per hour depending on experience.
