Executive Assistant to CEO

Our client, a holding company located in Charlotte (SouthPark), NC is hiring an Executive Assistant to the CEO. This is a full-time, direct hire opportunity working fully onsite.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Executive Assistant has a humble servant heart and takes pride in serving as a true assistant to the CEO, consistently responsive and reliable, and handling everything in the executive's personal and professional life. As a highly trusted assistant with strong executive presence, you'll manage complex stakeholders, anticipate needs, and bring order to a constantly changing and fast-paced schedule.

You are intensely detail-oriented, proactively solve problems, and take pleasure in executing tasks efficiently, even on unpredictable, fast-moving days. This role is not for everyone. The CEO moves fast and, in his own words, never shuts off. The ideal candidate is hungry, gritty, deeply driven, and fully committed to the role.

You see this as a calling and a craft, not a 9-to-5. You match the CEO's pace, energy, and standards, and you take genuine pride in being the person who makes everything run. Above all, the ideal candidate is driven by the firm's faith, mission, and vision.
