Overview

Our client, a family-owned & operated trucking company in Dallas, TX recognized as one of North America’s largest asset-based, temperature-controlled transportation & logistics providers, and valued by a wide range of Fortune 500® companies, has engaged us to place a professional, polished, proactive, highly organized & solutions oriented individual in the role of Executive Assistant (EA) to the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)/Vice Chairman
. The CRO has a lot of demands on his time, travels frequently, and is seeking an EA that can execute and move with the pace & energy that defines how he operates. The EA’s priority will be to help make the CRO better organized & structured, and more efficient & effective by providing administrative, logistical & project management support, as well as some personal support (10-15%), allowing the CRO to focus his time and energy on the areas of the business that require his attention.

The EA should be able to prioritize & manage multiple tasks with minimal supervision, thrive under pressure, operate with precision, think two steps ahead, display the highest level of discretion & trust at all times, and perform at the highest level in a fast-paced environment.

Location: Dallas, TX (East of Dallas, near Mesquite)

Hours:
Monday - Friday: 8:30am-5:30pm w/flexibility to stay later when needed (6pm-ish)

Hybrid aspect: The EA may choose to work from home up to 2 days/week when the CRO is traveling (CRO travels approx. 1-2 weeks a month)

While there’s minimal need/expectation for after hours support, flexibility is needed to receive communications outside of normal business hours, responding to urgent needs immediately, and prioritizing others accordingly (next business day, etc.).
