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) and 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
