Executive Assistant to CEO

Serv is partnering with a high-performing entrepreneur and real estate advisor in New York City to hire an exceptional Executive Assistant.

This is an opportunity to work alongside a founder who is building a modern, content-driven advisory business, with a strong focus on education, impact and helping people.

Note: A real estate license required (support for obtaining license upon commencement of employment if not already licensed)

As the Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day activities of the CEO and serving his clients, proactively managing communications, calendar, and project management.

• Strong judgment and problem-solving under pressure — e.g., assembling a 6-showing schedule on tight turnaround, last-minute listing presentations, reaching agents to confirm/reschedule

• You want to support a founder and help build something meaningful
• You are naturally curious and enjoy figuring things out independently
• You bring a “learn-it-all” mindset and continuously seek to improve
• You are energized by working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
