Employment Type: Full-Time. Location: Bergen County, NJ (Hybrid or potential remote). The Opportunity We are seeking a highly capable Strategic Executive Assistant to help the CEO operate effectively across multiple businesses, investments, and professional responsibilities. The primary purpose of this role is to protect the CEO’s time, attention, and decision-making capacity. The Executive Assistant will act as a trusted filter, organizer, and closer of open loops, ensuring that routine execution, follow-up, coordination, and verification are handled without unnecessary CEO involvement. Scheduling and administrative support are part of the position, but they are not the center of the role. This is a proactive, judgment-oriented position for someone who can anticipate needs, create structure, hold others accountable, and present the CEO with clear, decision‑ready information. Success Outcomes Success in this role will result in: Fewer interruptions and greater focus on high‑value priorities Faster resolution of outstanding issues Reduced decision fatigue and administrative burden Stronger accountability from brokers, vendors, partners, and operators A calendar and inbox aligned with strategic priorities Problems presented with context, options, and recommended next steps This role directly supports the growth of multiple businesses by allowing the CEO to remain focused on strategy, relationships, leadership, and important decisions. What Success Looks Like The Strategic Executive Assistant will help create an environment in which: The CEO spends the majority of his time on strategy, relationships, growth, and key decisions Every meaningful open item has a clear owner, deadline, and next step Brokers, vendors, bookkeepers, and operating partners move forward without requiring CEO follow‑up The CEO’s inbox, calendar, travel, and follow‑ups operate smoothly Routine issues are resolved at the appropriate level Important matters reach the CEO with sufficient context and clearly defined options Deadlines, commitments, and action items do not fall through the cracks Key Responsibilities 1. Executive Gatekeeping and Information Filtering This is the highest-priority responsibility of the role. Serve as the first point of review for inbound emails, requests, documents, and other communications Determine which matters require CEO attention and which should be resolved, delegated, deferred, or declined Route issues to the appropriate owner, including business operators, directors, brokers, vendors, bookkeepers, and professional advisors Protect the CEO from unnecessary “FYI” communications and low‑value interruptions Consolidate fragmented information into clear, concise summaries Escalate matters involving strategic direction, legal, regulatory, contractual, or reputational risk, time‑sensitive opportunities or commitments, and present escalated matters with background, options, deadlines, and a recommended next step whenever possible 2. Follow-Up and Open-Loop Management Maintain a centralized system for tracking commitments, action items, deadlines, and outstanding decisions Ensure every important item has an owner and next step Follow up consistently with internal and external stakeholders Identify stalled items before they become urgent Close routine loops independently within delegated authority Provide the CEO with clear visibility into overdue, blocked, or high-risk matters Ensure verbal commitments and meeting decisions are translated into action 3. Broker, Vendor, and Partner Accountability Manage follow-up with investment property brokers, vendors and service providers, business partners and outside professionals Establish and enforce clear expectations regarding responsiveness, deliverables, and timelines Require concise updates, specific next steps, and clearly assigned responsibilities Ensure brokers provide curated opportunities aligned with established criteria rather than unfiltered listings Challenge incomplete or unclear responses professionally Identify underperforming relationships early and elevate them before the CEO is forced to intervene Help the CEO evaluate whether outside partners should be retained, redirected, or replaced 4. Calendar, Meeting, and Travel Management Own the CEO’s calendar, scheduling, meeting coordination, and travel arrangements Protect designated time for strategic thinking, business planning, financial and operational reviews, board and advisory preparation Evaluate meeting requests based on priority, purpose, attendees, and expected outcome Decline, delegate, shorten, or reroute low-value meetings when appropriate Batch meetings intelligently to reduce fragmentation and unnecessary context switching Ensure the CEO is properly prepared with agendas, background information, objectives, and decision points Confirm logistics and resolve scheduling conflicts before they reach the CEO 5.

Professional Confidence You are comfortable following up firmly with brokers, vendors, executives, and professional advisors while maintaining positive relationships. Organizational Discipline You create reliable systems, maintain accurate records, and prevent commitments from being forgotten. Pattern Recognition You identify recurring problems, bottlenecks, and underperformance before they become significant issues. Discretion You can be trusted with confidential financial, personnel, business, investment, and personal information. Calm Execution You remain composed and effective when priorities shift, information is incomplete, or others are not responding as expected.

The compensation package may include a performance‑based bonus tied to execution quality, reliability, operational improvement, and the level of trust and responsibility earned in the role. How to Apply Applicants should submit a current resume. Final Note This role requires judgment, confidence, discretion, and consistent execution—not perfection. The ideal candidate enjoys creating structure, taking ownership, solving problems, and being the trusted person who quietly makes everything run better. #J-18808-Ljbffr Investment Hr
