About The Position

Foulger Pratt is a real estate investment and development firm with a multi-decade track record of building and managing high-quality assets across the mid-Atlantic and beyond. As the firm continues to grow its real estate portfolio, the Executive team is seeking a Chief of Staff & Executive Assistant to serve as a trusted right hand — managing the details of day-to-day executive support while also driving execution, discipline, and alignment across the organization.

This is a hybrid role, blending the strategic and operational ownership of a Chief of Staff with the day-to-day administrative support of an Executive Assistant. This person will run the Executive Team’s daily operating rhythm — calendar, inbox, and schedule — while also driving strategic initiatives and cross-departmental projects, strengthening collaboration across the organization, and serving as a key point of contact for investor relations and communications.

It is best suited to a highly organized, trusted operator — someone with 1–7 years of professional experience, from real estate, finance, consulting, or prior experience supporting a senior executive — who is equally comfortable managing calendars and correspondence as they are running strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate is someone who is the first person to notice something is off-track and fixes it before anyone else even notices. This is a very fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment so the ideal candidate needs to work quickly and efficiently with a lot of autonomy.

Requirements

• 1–5 years of professional experience.
• Background in real estate investment, development, or asset management, private equity, investor relations, corporate communications strongly preferred.
• Experience managing complex calendars, correspondence, and travel logistics for a senior executive, ideally in a fast-paced or entrepreneurial environment.
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams to completion without significant oversight.
• Ability to work in fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing investor materials, marketing content, or corporate communications.
• High degree of discretion and sound judgment; this role will have visibility into sensitive strategic, financial, and investor information.
