Executive Assistant to CEO

Hawthorne Lane
Virginia, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 9/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/15/2026

This Executive Assistant opportunity is a rare chance to support a high-performing, fast-moving executive in a dynamic, rapidly scaling industry. The ideal professional thrives in high-expectation settings where no two days look the same, priorities shift quickly, and excellence is the baseline. As the Executive Assistant to CEO, you will serve as a key administrative hand to a deeply engaged CEO, optimizing scheduling, end-to-end travel coordination, refined meeting preparation materials, light project assistance, and personal assistance. If you bring calm structure to complexity, anticipate needs before they arise, and ensure both business and personal priorities are handled with precision and discretion, apply today.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide high-level administrative and scheduling support, ensuring seamless day-to-day execution across a fast-moving calendar.
  • Manage complex domestic travel arrangements and ensure all logistics are thoughtfully coordinated.
  • Prepare briefing materials, background context, and meeting documentation to ensure the executive is fully equipped for all engagements.
  • Serve as a trusted gatekeeper and point of contact, managing communications with discretion and professionalism.
  • Support both business and personal scheduling needs, ensuring priorities are handled efficiently and proactively.
  • Coordinate closely with senior internal stakeholders to ensure alignment across projects, meetings, and operational needs.
  • Assist with special projects and evolving priorities across the organization as needed.
  • Maintain exceptional attention to detail across all written, logistical, and administrative outputs.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

  • Opportunity to support a highly engaged, mission-driven executive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • An in-office role where agendas shift quickly and excitement buzzes in an evolving industry.
  • Competitive compensation and bonus potential.

What We’re Looking For:

  • High-achieving. You earned a bachelor’s degree and bring a strong intellectual presence to your work.
  • Exceptional Executive Assistant. You bring at least three years of experience supporting senior executives in high-expectation environments.
  • Exacting. You produce flawless work, anticipate needs, and consistently stay ahead of deadlines.
  • Anticipatory. You think several steps ahead, take initiative without prompting, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Intellectually Curious. You quickly understand context, prepare executives for meetings, and enjoy staying informed and engaged.
  • Fluid. This is not a traditional 9–5 role; the right candidate will be flexible, responsive, and comfortable supporting an executive who works at a very high pace and expects the same level of commitment from their support team.
  • Trusted. You handle sensitive information with sound judgment and professionalism.


The salary listed reflects the anticipated compensation range for this position. Actual compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, qualifications, location, business considerations, and internal equity. Final offer amounts are determined at the employer’s discretion.
