Houston, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 4/21/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/20/2026
Overview

We are seeking a high-caliber Executive Assistant to act as a strategic partner to a fast-moving C-Suite executive. This is not a traditional administrative role - you will manage priorities, decisions, and execution across business and personal domains, ensuring the executive's focus remains on high-impact work.

Role Summary

Operating at the intersection of Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, and Operations Partner, you will filter, challenge, anticipate, and drive outcomes - not just manage tasks.

Key Responsibilities

  • Calendar & Prioritization: Own the executive's calendar with full discretion; evaluate, prioritize, and protect time for high-impact work
  • Gatekeeping & Decision Support: Act as primary filter and first-level decision-maker; provide input and push back when needed
  • Execution Management: Track initiatives, drive follow-ups, and ensure timely completion across stakeholders
  • Communication: Serve as liaison; ensure alignment on priorities, deadlines, and deliverables
  • Personal & Business Support: Manage travel, logistics, and personal responsibilities; coordinate with external partners
  • Operations & Process Improvement: Build systems, improve workflows, and create structure in dynamic environments

Required Experience

  • 10 years supporting C-Suite executives
  • Proven gatekeeping, decision-making, and execution experience
  • Experience managing assistants and complex scheduling/travel
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
  • Experience handling both business and personal responsibilities

Core Competencies

Executive presence, emotional resilience, assertiveness with judgment, anticipation, ownership mindset, and strong communication skills

Work Environment

Fast-paced, high-performance, and constantly evolving; requires comfort with ambiguity and direct communication

Not a Fit If You

Prefer routine, avoid pushback, need constant direction, focus only on tasks, or struggle with ambiguity

Additional Requirements

  • Ability to coordinate complex travel; occasional travel required
  • Preferred: experience in founder-led, private equity, real estate, or family office environments; Chief of Staff or operations background

Summary

This role is for someone who operates as a trusted partner - a force multiplier who brings structure, clarity, and execution to a high-performance executive environment.
