We are seeking a highly polished and resourceful Executive Assistant to support the CEO of a private equity real estate firm. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role supporting a principal whose professional and personal life are deeply intertwined and who maintains an extensive domestic and international travel schedule. The ideal candidate operates with the judgment of a chief of staff, the precision of a top-tier EA, and the discretion of someone accustomed to managing sensitive, confidential information at the highest level.
This is not a 9-to-5 role. The successful candidate will anticipate needs before they arise, solve problems independently, and serve as a true extension of the CEO across every domain of their life.
Calendar & Time Management
- Own and proactively manage a complex, fast-changing calendar spanning annual meetings, LP/investor calls, portfolio company visits, deal negotiations, and personal commitments
- Ruthlessly prioritize competing demands and resolve conflicts without constant escalation
- Build in travel buffers, prep time, and recovery time around high-intensity periods
Travel Coordination (Extensive Domestic & International)
- Plan and book complex, often multi-leg itineraries (commercial aviation, ground transport, hotels), frequently with short notice or last-minute changes
- Coordinate visas, passports, customs/immigration requirements, and travel documentation
- Build detailed itineraries accounting for time zones, weather, and contingency plans
- Travel occasionally with the CEO or be reachable in real time during trips to solve issues remotely
Business Support
- Prepare, proofread, and format materials, LP communications, presentations, and correspondence
- Coordinate with portfolio company executives, General Counsel, IR, and Finance teams on scheduling and logistics
- Manage expense reporting, invoice processing, and reconciliation
- Screen and triage calls, emails, and requests; draft correspondence on the CEO’s behalf
- Coordinate and staff meetings, offsites, and firm events (dinners, investor conferences, annual meetings)
Personal & Household Support
- Manage personal appointments (medical, family, personal trainers, etc.) and coordinate with household staff, property managers, and family members
- Oversee logistics for multiple residences (maintenance vendors, deliveries, seasonal opening/closing)
- Manage personal travel, family trips, and special occasions (gifts, reservations, event planning)
- Handle personal bill pay, subscriptions, and administrative errands as needed
- Coordinate with private service providers (drivers, security, contractors, tutors, etc.)
Confidentiality & Judgment
- Handle highly sensitive financial, business, and personal information with absolute discretion
- Exercise independent judgment on what requires the CEO’s attention versus what can be resolved directly
- Maintain strict confidentiality regarding deal activity, personal matters, and family information
Qualifications
- 7+ years supporting C-suite executives, ideally in private equity, investment banking, hedge funds, or another high-intensity financial services environment
- Demonstrated experience blending complex business and personal support for a principal
- Exceptional organizational skills and an ability to manage shifting priorities in real time
- Outstanding written and verbal communication; comfortable interfacing with executives, LPs, family members, and household staff alike
- Availability for after-hours
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office/Google Workspace, expense platforms, and travel booking tools
