Executive Assistant to Principal

Development Contractor, Inc.
Santee, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/1/2026

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly capable, business-minded professional to support the principal and leadership team in a high-impact, execution-focused role. This is not a traditional administrative assistant position. The role is designed for someone who can operate independently, think critically, and translate high-level direction into finished work product across a range of business functions.

The ideal candidate will act as a force multiplier for the principal by increasing decision velocity, improving organization across active projects, and ensuring that work is completed to a high standard with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

  • Attend meetings and calls to stay aligned on priorities and active initiatives
  • Review incoming materials and identify required decisions
  • Prepare concise summaries and recommendations for leadership
  • Draft emails, edits, and approvals so items are presented in a near-final, decision-ready state
  • Track and manage projects across multiple business lines, including real estate development, senior living operations, and new ventures
  • Coordinate with internal team members and external vendors to maintain timelines and accountability
  • Identify bottlenecks and proactively resolve issues to keep projects moving forward
  • Draft and refine business communications, internal memoranda, deal summaries, and operational documents
  • Assist with preparation and editing of marketing materials, including website content and external communications
  • Convert rough notes or direction into clear, professional, and usable output
  • Act as a filter for incoming information and requests to leadership
  • Determine what requires executive attention versus what can be handled independently
  • Support high-level administrative needs with a focus on improving efficiency and workflow
  • Maintain organization across multiple workstreams and ensure consistent follow-through

Qualifications

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to operate independently and manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
  • Demonstrated ability to think critically and solve problems without detailed instruction
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Preferred Background

  • Experience in real estate, construction, finance, consulting, or a related field
  • Prior experience supporting senior executives or working in a high-responsibility operations role
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, economics, or a related field preferred but not required
  • Equivalent professional experience in consulting, real estate, finance, operations, or executive support will be considered in place of formal education

Compensation

  • Salary range: $100,000 – $150,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Opportunity for long-term growth into a senior operational or Chief of Staff role

Pay: $100,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year
