Requirements

Executive Assistant: This is where you come in.

We’re seeking two Executive Assistants to provide high-level, proactive support to our executive leadership team.

One Executive Assistant will partner closely with the President of Building Services , while the other will support the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer . Both roles will serve as trusted partners to executive leadership, helping leaders stay focused on strategic priorities, make informed decisions, and drive business performance.

These are highly visible roles that go well beyond traditional administrative support. Executive Assistants will manage complex calendars and competing priorities, coordinate executive meetings and commitments, prepare briefings and presentations, support financial and operational workflows, and ensure leaders have the information, structure, and follow-through needed to operate effectively.

You will play a key role in driving alignment, communication, and execution across the organization . This includes coordinating priorities and deliverables, managing the flow of critical information, and supporting key business initiatives such as annual business planning, financial and operational reviews, executive reporting, employee communications, and enterprise-wide projects.

As a central point of coordination, you will connect people and teams, streamline processes, and establish communication rhythms that keep leaders informed, aligned, and moving forward. You’ll provide visibility into priorities, timelines, commitments, deliverables, and key decisions—helping executive leadership maintain momentum and focus on the broader strategic objectives of the business.

You will also partner with executive leadership to develop and deliver clear, timely, and engaging internal communications , including leadership messages, organizational announcements, presentations, and business updates. Your ability to translate information into concise, effective communication will help reinforce organizational priorities, strengthen employee engagement, and keep teams connected to the company’s vision and direction.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive operator who naturally anticipates needs, brings structure to complexity, and solves problems before they escalate. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment and are comfortable working with confidential information and senior leaders. Precision, discretion, sound judgment, responsiveness, and exceptional follow-through are essential to success in this role.
