We are seeking a driven, professional Entry‑Level Executive Assistant to work directly with the CEO of a small commercial contracting and real estate development company. This is a rare opportunity to gain first‑hand exposure to executive decision‑making, construction operations, real estate finance, and real estate development.

If you are looking for a role that challenges you, expands your skill set, and accelerates your professional growth, this may be a career‑defining opportunity.

What You’ll Be Exposed To

• Real estate development and financing strategy
• Commercial construction operations
• Lender research and engagement
• Business opportunity research across multiple platforms
• Interactions with architects and designers

You will see how deals are structured, how projects are financed, and how a CEO manages a multi‑faced construction and development business.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and coordinate the CEO’s calendar and schedule
• Assist in identifying and pursuing new real estate and construction opportunities
• Track action items and ensure follow‑through
• Create and maintain organized Excel spreadsheets and reporting tools
• Communicate with lenders, subcontractors, and industry professionals
• Run occasional business‑related errands
• Adapt to both office and job site environments

Work Environment Expectations

This role requires versatility:

• Some days you may be on a construction job site (business casual / job‑site appropriate attire)
• Other days you may attend professional meetings (business professional attire required)

Professional presentation and adaptability are essential.

Who We’re Looking For

• Strong communicator with clear, professional verbal and written skills
• Excellent listener and highly detailed note taker
• Organized and able to execute tasks exactly as directed
• Tech‑savvy with strong Excel/spreadsheet capabilities
• Comfortable interacting with executives and industry professionals
• Self‑starter who wants to grow beyond a typical administrative role

Experience in real estate, construction, banking, legal, architecture, design, or property management is a plus — but not required. We are willing to teach the right person who is eager to learn the construction and development industry.

A degree is preferred but not mandatory.

Application Requirements

• Resume submission
• Professional headshot and/or LinkedIn profile link
• Willingness to participate in both a phone interview and video interview

This is an opportunity to work directly alongside a CEO and gain real exposure to how commercial construction and real estate development businesses operate.

If you are ambitious, adaptable, and ready to grow — we encourage you to apply.

Compensation: $65,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year
