We are seeking an experienced, highly organized Senior Administrative Assistant to serve as a trusted partner to the Owner/CEO and Operations Director of established interior design-related businesses. The ideal candidate has experience supporting a business owner or senior executive and excels at staying several steps ahead in a fast-moving environment.

This is more than a task-based administrative role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs, manages competing priorities, and ensures important details and commitments do not fall through the cracks. The right individual will become a valued right-hand resource whose initiative, organization, and follow-through directly increase the effectiveness of leadership.

• Route matters that do not require executive involvement to the appropriate individual.
