About The Position

We are seeking a highly capable, experienced, and trustworthy Executive Assistant to provide direct, in-person support to the Founder/CEO at the company headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. This is not a traditional administrative role, and it is not a remote position. This is a high-responsibility, high-pace position for someone who can operate with discretion, professionalism, and urgency, with excellent judgment, strong technological ability, and the flexibility to travel when needed. The ideal candidate has direct experience supporting a CEO, founder, entrepreneur, high-profile executive, media personality, or fast-moving business leader. This person must be organized, proactive, emotionally intelligent, and able to manage competing priorities without becoming overwhelmed. This role also requires someone who is comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity, organization, communication, research, scheduling, document creation, workflow management, and executive support. We are looking for someone who understands that AI is not a gimmick, but a tool that can help a high-level executive and a growing company move faster and operate more efficiently. The right person will be comfortable dealing with scheduling, travel, communication, coordination across multiple companies, personal and professional logistics, sensitive information, and internal systems.
