  • Serve as a trusted liaison between leadership, internal staff, vendors, and external partners while maintaining professionalism and discretion.
  • Support firm events and execute special projects with professionalism and follow-through.
  • Provide personal assistant support, including errands, purchases, household coordination, and calendar management.
  • Anticipate executive needs, proactively problem-solve, and ensure all moving pieces remain organized and on track.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

  • A dynamic, fast-paced environment where every day brings something new and opportunities to grow.
  • Competitive compensation and fully paid healthcare, dental, and vision packages.
  • A friendly, collaborative, and supportive team culture that values initiative and reliability.

  • You’re energetic, eager to contribute, and constantly seeking ways to improve processes.
  • On the go. You have access to a car and can accommodate time-sensitive personal requests as needed.
  • You understand the fast-paced nature of executive support and are comfortable providing responsive assistance outside of standard business hours when priorities shift or urgent needs arise.
