About The Position

The Executive Assistant for Hospitality Operations is a dedicated partner to the Chief Hospitality Officer and the division's leadership team, providing a blend of executive support and project management. This person keeps the Chief Hospitality Officer's calendar, inbox, and follow-through running cleanly, while also owning the operating rhythm that keeps division leaders (Customer Experience, Golf Operations, Retail & Brand Partnerships, Agronomy/Golf Construction, Food and Beverage, and Asset Management) aligned on shared priorities. This is not a generalist admin role split across departments, but instead, it is fully dedicated to the Hospitality division's leadership. Proactivity is the defining trait of this role: the right person anticipates needs before being asked, spots inefficiencies in how the department runs, and brings solutions rather than waiting for direction. This role also requires a high degree of trust, discretion, and executive presence with the ability to operate comfortably around senior leaders and manage-up effectively.

2-5 years of experience in executive support, project coordination, or operations administration (luxury, hospitality, or lifestyle environment preferred).
Demonstrated proactivity through a track record of anticipating needs and solving problems before being asked, not just following a task list.
