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

You will see how deals are structured, how projects are financed, and how a CEO manages a multi‑faced construction and development business.

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:

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

A degree is preferred but not mandatory.
Application Requirements

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.
