Senior Executive Assistant to CEO

Senior Executive Assistant To The CEO

Steele Recruiting LLC is a retained search firm located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with national reach, specializing in permanent placements of Executive Administrative Assistants, Personal Assistants, and Chiefs of Staff for C-Suite and Senior Leadership Executives across the United States.

We are currently partnering with our trusted client, Adolfson and Peterson Construction Company, for a Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO, located in their beautiful corporate offices in Bloomington, Minnesota (transitioning to their new offices located in Edina, Minnesota, late 2026).

Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP) is a fourth-generation, family-owned business founded in 1946 in the basement of George Adolfson and Gordon Peterson in Richfield, Minnesota, now a $1.5 billion company and growing. Today, AP operates from 12 locations across the United States and is consistently recognized as an Engineering News-Record (ENR) Top 100 Contractor, known for excellence in safety, innovation, and quality.

For more than 75 years, AP has delivered complex, high-profile projects across commercial, healthcare, education, and industrial sectors. At the core of its success is a steadfast commitment to building strong, collaborative relationships and consistently exceeding client expectations.

With more than 800 team members nationwide, AP remains deeply rooted in its founding values as a family-owned company. Its mission to build trust, communities, and people guides every project and interaction. Driven by a culture that puts people first and anchored in teamwork and integrity, AP creates not only exceptional spaces but also lasting partnerships that add long-term value to clients, partners, and the communities they serve.

The Senior Executive Assistant provides confidential, high-level executive support to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), serving as a trusted right hand, thought partner, and extension of the CEO. This individual will play a critical role in helping a fast-paced executive stay focused on the highest priorities while ensuring commitments, communications, and strategic initiatives move forward.

You will also provide light virtual support to the newly appointed COO located in their Colorado office, including expense report reconciliation, some travel, and ad hoc requests.

What makes this opportunity exceptional?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a newly created role and become the trusted right hand to a highly engaged, newly appointed CEO at an exciting point in the organization's growth. Working at the center of the business, you will have broad visibility across the organization and a meaningful voice in helping the CEO turn priorities into action.

Rather than stepping into an established model, you will have the opportunity to build this role from the ground up, bringing your experience, judgment, and ideas to create a best-in-class executive partnership. You will have the autonomy to establish processes, anticipate needs, improve how information and priorities flow, and shape a working relationship built on trust, communication, and mutual respect.

The CEO values exceptional support, initiative, sound judgment, and a partner who can think ahead, connect the dots, and confidently keep things moving. For the right person, this is far more than an Executive Assistant position. It is an opportunity to become an integral partner to the CEO and make a visible impact on his success and the future growth of the organization.
