A prominent construction company in Detroit, Michigan, is seeking an exceptional executive personal assistant to support its President, with an immediate start available. This is a highly dynamic role requiring flexibility and adaptability. The schedule will be fluid and largely dictated by the principal's needs. When the principal is working from the office, the successful candidate will also be expected to work on-site, ideally arriving before 8 am to prepare the office and ensure the day is set up for success. When the principal is not in the office, there will be greater flexibility regarding work location and hours.

Occasional availability via text message or phone during evenings and weekends may be required. However, unless the principal is traveling, the majority of communication and work-related matters will take place between 7am and 7pm. The broader family office team is also committed to working collaboratively with the successful candidate to establish clear expectations and boundaries as needed.

The ideal candidate will be discreet, highly trustworthy, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with direct communication styles. This position is best suited to someone with a strong work ethic and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset. It is not a role for someone who requires rigid structure, narrowly defined responsibilities, or strict parameters around their duties.

The successful candidate will become the President's trusted right-hand person, seamlessly managing a wide range of business, personal, travel, and household matters. They must be comfortable anticipating needs, exercising sound judgment, and handling sensitive information with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality.
