Executive Assistant to the CEO

Overview

This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role.

This is a high-impact position working directly alongside the CEO of a $500M +, 1,500-employee company operating across 11 states and 40 + branches. The role is designed for someone who wants to learn the business at a high level, drive execution, and grow.

The CEO is highly efficient and self-sufficient—this role is about improving execution, removing friction, and increasing organizational effectiveness.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Acting as a force multiplier for the CEO—managing priorities, follow-ups, and key initiatives
• Coordinating communication across executive leadership, branch teams, and external partners
• Planning and executing corporate events, leadership meetings, and company gatherings
• Supporting travel and occasionally attending key events or meetings
• Helping manage the company’s monthly reporting cadence and executive deliverables
• Tracking action items and ensuring strong follow-through across the organization
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, communication, and execution

What Success Looks Like

• The CEO is highly focused on strategic priorities with minimal distractions
• All key initiatives and follow-ups are tracked and completed on time
• Corporate events and leadership meetings are executed seamlessly
• Monthly reporting cycles run efficiently, even during high-intensity periods
• Communication across leadership is clear, aligned, and consistent

First 90 Days

0–30 Days: Learn the business, build trust, understand priorities and reporting cadence

30–60 Days: Take ownership of follow-ups, coordination, and support a full reporting cycle

60–90 Days: Operate independently, improve processes, and take ownership of key initiatives or events

By 90 days, you are functioning as a proactive extension of the CEO—not just supporting, but driving execution.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

• Someone who takes ownership and doesn’t wait to be told what to do
• Someone who wants exposure to how a large business operates at the executive level
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-performance environment
• Someone highly organized but flexible, able to bring structure to complexity
• Someone who follows through relentlessly and cares about outcomes
• Someone interested in growing into a Chief of Staff or leadership role

Who This Role Is Not For

• Someone looking for a purely task-based or reactive administrative role
• Someone who requires constant direction or highly structured instructions
• Someone uncomfortable with fast pace, ambiguity, or high expectations
• Someone seeking a strict 9-to-5 schedule without flexibility during key business periods
• Someone not interested in growing beyond a traditional support role

Benefits:

• Team-player environment
• Medical/Dental/Vision/Life insurance plans
• Matched 401k
• PTO, Vacation, Sick Leave
• FSA Program
• Pay: Salary of $100,000 plus bonus opportunity

Additional Notes

• Occasional travel required
• Event planning is a meaningful part of the role
• Expect longer hours at the end of each month to support reporting and executive deliverable
