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

Commercial construction operations

Lender research and engagement

Business opportunity research across multiple platforms

Interactions with architects and designers

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

Key Responsibilities

Manage and coordinate the CEO’s calendar and schedule

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:

Some days you may be on a construction job site (business casual / job‑site appropriate attire)

Other days you may attend professional meetings (business professional attire required)

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

Experience in real estate, construction, banking, legal, architecture, design, or property management is a plus — but not required. We are willing to teach the right person who is eager to learn the construction and development industry.

A degree is preferred but not mandatory.

Application Requirements

Resume submission

Professional headshot and/or Linked In profile link

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.

If you are ambitious, adaptable, and ready to grow — we encourage you to apply.

Compensation: $65,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year
