About this position

ABOUT US

Elevation Capital is a group of internationally impactful companies spanning consumer packaged goods, hospitality, technology, real estate, non-profit, and venture funding. Run by a highly entrepreneurial self-made founder, and supported by a team of highly capable executives across business units, the business operates globally with interests in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean. With wholly owned companies in various growth stages and an expanding investment portfolio, this group collectively serves a global vision to create an evolved world where humanity reaches its highest potential. Our mission is to create and deploy capital for a better world.

Note: This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role. It is an always-on, high-intensity position focused on delivering solutions across the Family Office, Executive Office, and portfolio companies. If you’re looking for a 9–5, calendar / inbox management-focused role in a corporate setting, this is not the right opportunity.

We are seeking a driven, high-performance Executive Support Associate to provide direct leverage to the Founder and Chief of Staff. This is not a traditional EA role — it’s a scrappy, high-intensity, always-on position supporting the Executive Office, Family Office, and portfolio companies.

You’ll be in the middle of everything that matters: managing multi-million-dollar construction projects, orchestrating seamless global travel for the Founder and family, creating bulletproof itineraries, handling high-value assets with total discretion, and making life run effortlessly behind the scenes. You’ll work side-by-side with the Chief of Staff to anticipate needs, remove friction, and deliver solutions — never problems.

You’ll also take on special projects where no two days look the same — one week you might be negotiating with a global vendor, the next coordinating a complex family move or travel itinerary, and the next building systems that keep the portfolio businesses operating at speed. Every day brings a new challenge that requires agility, creativity, and composure.

This role is demanding, exhilarating, and career-defining. The Founder moves fast and so must you. Words like “can’t” or “not possible” don’t exist in your vocabulary. This is not a 9–5, not a corporate admin job, and not for everyone. But if you’re hungry, sharp, and thrive in high-stakes chaos, this role will put you years ahead of your peers. You’ll get a front-row seat to global businesses, elite decision-making, and world-changing projects — while being rewarded with top-of-market compensation, growth, and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

WHO YOU ARE

• Scrappy & resourceful – You find ways forward, no matter what.
• Fast & decisive – You thrive on speed, agility, and execution under pressure.
• Smart thinker & driver – You connect dots, solve problems, and push things over the finish line.
• Calm under fire – You operate with composure in demanding situations.
• Proactive operator – You anticipate needs and move before being asked.
• Organized & detail-obsessed – From travel itineraries to construction vendors, nothing slips.
• Discrete & trustworthy – You protect sensitive information and earn trust quickly.
• Always on: Comfortable with an always-on lifestyle and supporting both business and personal domains.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support the Founder and family across business, family office, and personal initiatives.
• Manage complex, global travel — building detailed itineraries that run flawlessly.
• Assist with project management of construction and real estate projects, ensuring execution is on time and on budget.
• Source, evaluate, and negotiate with vendors under tight timelines to secure best-in-class outcomes.
• Plan and execute high-stakes events and logistics with zero room for error.
• Create systems (dashboards, trackers, briefs) that provide clarity, accountability, and visibility for leadership.
• Partner with the Chief of Staff and rest of the executive leadership team on projects, ensuring outcomes are driven to completion.
• Handle acquisitions, high-value assets, and confidential matters with judgment and discretion.
• Capture decisions, translate them into clear next steps, and drive execution relentlessly.
• Operate at the Founder’s pace: fast, intense, and solutions-only.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in fast-paced, entrepreneurial, or high-stakes environments.
• Willingness to work a high-demand, always-on schedule in Eastern/Central Timezones.
• Must be willing to work high demand schedule
• Demonstrated ability to make things happen without a playbook.
• Comfort switching between personal support (travel, family logistics) and business initiatives (portfolio, real estate, vendors).
• Mastery of organization and detail.
• Strong communication skills — direct, concise, and professional.
• High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and discretion.
• Experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft O365, MS Teams, and project management tools.
