  • This position is ideal for someone who takes initiative, follows through, and can manage multiple priorities independently. The CEO will provide overall direction and approve major decisions.

      • Prepare event proposals outlining themes, venues, estimated costs, timelines, and staffing needs.
      • Research vendors, compare quotes, negotiate pricing, and present recommendations for approval.
      • Coordinate catering, entertainment, décor, photography, invitations, guest lists, RSVPs, seating, and transportation as needed.
      • Maintain event budgets and track deposits, payment deadlines, and expenses.
      • Manage event schedules, setup, vendor arrivals, on-site coordination, and cleanup.
      • Anticipate problems and resolve routine issues while keeping the CEO informed.
      • Prepare a post-event recap with final costs, results, and recommendations.
  • Executive & Personal Assistant Support
      • Manage appointments, calendars, meeting arrangements, reservations, and reminders.
      • Prepare correspondence, meeting materials, agendas, and summaries.
      • Track commitments and follow up with vendors, employees, and outside contacts.
      • Coordinate travel arrangements and itineraries as needed.
      • Assist with selected personal appointments, reservations, purchases, errands, and special projects for the CEO.
      • Organize receipts, documents, contact information, and records related to assigned work.
      • Handle confidential company and personal information with discretion.
      • Communicate professionally on behalf of the CEO within established authority.
  • Planning, Reporting & Follow-Through

      • Familiarity with Canva or similar design tools.
      • Ability to prioritize competing deadlines and work independently.
      • Professional judgment, discretion, and dependable follow-through.
      • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally for events, meetings, and assigned errands.
  • Preferred Qualifications
