Rawhide Development, the real estate development affiliate of the Arizona Cardinals Football Club, is seeking a Senior Executive Assistant to support the President & CEO and the broader Rawhide Development team. This is a high-visibility, high-trust role for a fast-moving, newly formed organization. The ideal candidate operates with discretion and independent judgment, anticipates needs before being asked, and can flex between calendar management and cross-team project coordination.
