Executive Assistant

About the Opportunity:

This is an opportunity for an Executive Assistant to join a well-established real estate investment firm. This individual will work closely with executive leadership, providing both administrative and operational support across day-to-day office functions, as well as assisting with communications and coordination related to new acquisitions.

The ideal candidate has prior experience in a real estate administrative role and understands the nuances of commercial real estate transactions. This is a highly visible role requiring someone who is sharp, industrious, and collaborative, with strong communication skills.

Responsibilities will include data entry, reception coverage, representing the firm professionally, and participating in key meetings with leadership. The right person is detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable wearing multiple hats in a fast-paced environment.

Experience as a notary public is a plus. Exposure to construction administration and the ability to read blueprints is also highly desirable.

This is not a clock-watching role-there will be times, particularly around closings, where flexibility and availability beyond standard hours are expected.
