Executive Assistant to the CEO

On-site | Los Angeles, CA

A globally admired consumer‐lifestyle brand is scaling its next chapter from its Los Angeles executive hub. The incoming CEO needs a sharp, seasoned business partner who can craft rhythm, guard focus, and keep critical initiatives marching in tune. If you thrive on anticipation (not reaction) and love being the conductor behind a high-energy, creative enterprise, this is your stage.

Top-Three Impact Goals (first 90 days)

• Engineer a purpose-driven calendar. Design an intentional cadence that protects strategic blocks and reduces reactive noise.
• Earn trusted-gatekeeper status. Establish instant credibility with the board, ELT, and partner EAs while diplomatically managing access and information flow.
• Lock executive & board rhythms. Own weekly operating rituals, board-prep timelines, and material workflows so everything feels buttoned-up—no last-minute scrambles.

Compensation & Logistics

• Competitive base salary, commensurate with scope and prior board exposure.
• Work model: Primarily on-site with limited travel for key board meetings and off-sites.
• Relocation support considered for exceptional talent.

Core Responsibilities

• Curate and optimize a multi-time-zone agenda that aligns priorities and shields the CEO’s focus.
• Orchestrate complex domestic and international travel with proactive contingency playbooks.
• Drive board-meeting readiness—own timelines, materials, and logistics so leadership walks in prepared.
• Produce polished executive communications, decks, and briefing docs that elevate brand voice.
• Act as “adult-in-the-room” gatekeeper—confidently saying no, setting boundaries, and filtering noise.
• Informally lead fellow EAs for major events, multi-day off-sites, and cross-functional initiatives.

Ideal Profile

• 12+ years supporting senior executives, including direct CEO partnership within global, matrixed organizations.
• Proven board-facing experience and mastery of high-stakes executive environments.
• Polished presence, detail obsession, and a proactive mindset that enforces boundaries with grace.
• Fluency with modern productivity stacks (Outlook, Slack, Zoom) and comfort steering other admins.
• Tenure at brand-driven or large-scale consumer companies highly valued.

Head of Business Operations

Brief Summary

The Head of Business Operations owns the configuration, integrity, and scalability of the company's business operations systems, serving as the bridge between business strategy and technical execution reporting directly to the CEO/Co-Founder. This role is responsible for translating institutional knowledge into scalable business processes,

ensuring data integrity, and enabling the transition from ad-hoc decision making to data-driven workflows. This is a senior management role with individual-contributor responsibilities, broad cross-functional authority, and high executive visibility.

The Head of Business Operations will take a lead role in defining the data architecture, implementing process guardrails, and analyzing operational data to drive strategy. This person acts as the cross-functional orchestrator of the business operations system, collaborating with Sales, Production, and Leadership to extract & refine business logic and codify it into streamlined processes. Success in this role requires a strong backbone to enforce higher standards, and an analytical and systems-thinking mindset to visualize downstream effects.

What Success Looks Like

● All core workflows are analyzable, have entrance/exit criteria, and are governed by continuously improving SOPs

● Leadership can answer key operational questions without ad-hoc data pulls

● Administrative overhead for sales and production staff is measurably reduced through intuitive, user-centric workflow design and automation.

● Data integrity is proactively enforced through automated validation gates, ensuring all transactions reaching Production meet technical completeness standards

● Schema changes follow a formal change process without disruptive production breakage

● Cross-team handoffs show measurable reductions in rework or delays

● Operational reporting has shifted from reactive status checks to predictive insights, providing automated triggers for churn risks and production bottlenecks

Duties & Responsibilities

Requirements Engineering (Internal Product Owner)

● Conduct structured interviews with stakeholders (Sales, Production) to extract complex business logic, transforming qualitative requirements into workflow pipelines, binary system gates, and automation triggers.

● Treat internal tools as a "Product" and internal staff as "Users," conducting user research to ensure workflows are intuitive and reduce friction.

● Act as the liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams to ensure alignment.

● Define, mandate, and manage the company's "Data Dictionary" and Standard Operating

Procedures (SOPs), ensuring a unified language and common framework is adopted across all functional teams.

System Ownership & Platform Governance

● Own the configuration and architecture of the company’s operating platform (currently ), defining object relationships and preventing schema drift.

● Translate strategic business objectives into system logic, automation rules, and workflows to create a scalable operating platform that generates measurable, actionable data.

● Define and enforce strict "Entrance and Exit Criteria" for all business process stages to prevent data errors (the enforcement aspect).

● Manage the change control process for system updates to prevent disruption to active workflows.

Business Intelligence

● Responsible for building decision-grade operational reporting and analysis (but not exploratory data science/research or data engineering).

● Query and analyze cross-functional data to drive strategic business decisions, identify performance gaps, and uncover opportunities for revenue optimization and growth (e.g., ROAS, marketing attribution, churn risks, customer LTV).

● Own and facilitate the weekly business review, working with management and leads to refine reporting and insights across the organization.

● Design and maintain management reporting dashboards to track key performance indicators and operational health.

Decision Authority

This role has final decision authority over the following areas:

● Operating system structure and data definitions

● Workflow stage definitions and gating logic

● Approval or rejection of system changes that affect data integrity

Desired Qualifications & Traits

● Systems Thinker: Possesses strong systems thinking capabilities, naturally visualizing the downstream effects of upstream changes (e.g., how a change in the Sales form affects the Production floor). They prioritize long-term scalability over short-term "hacks."

● Pragmatic Architect: Maintains a pragmatic approach to architecture, balancing "perfection with business utility." They know when to implement a rigid constraint and when to allow manual flexibility, always focused on delivering high-utility features.

● Operational Excellence Steward: Demonstrates operational discipline and the ability to define, promote, and enforce process compliance among diverse teams. They value consistency and predictability and are willing to say "No" when requests threaten system integrity and guide the team to the right trade-off.

● Analytical & Problem-Solving Mindset: Possesses an investigative nature, focusing on finding root causes and proactively hunting for "process leaks" and undefined variables. They validate assumptions with data rather than anecdotes.

● Coach & Change Leader: Possesses high emotional intelligence and the teaching ability to re-program legacy habits. They can explain why a new system is better to resistant teams and guide them through the transition with patience and clarity.

● Ambiguity Simplifier: Has the ability to simplify ambiguity, taking chaotic business inputs and structuring the information into linear, standardized processes.

● Translator & Data-Centric Communicator: Has strong communication skills to fluently bridge the gap, explaining technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders in plain English.

● Detail-Oriented: Is highly detail-oriented, obsessed with consistent naming conventions and data definitions. They notice misalignment in data definitions immediately, ensuring organizational clarity and data integrity.

About Reynolds Asset Management

Reynolds Asset Management is a private real estate investment firm focused on the acquisition, development, and long-term ownership of multifamily assets across multiple states. We are a lean, fast-moving organization led by an active principal who is focused on growing the portfolio, managing investor relationships, and overseeing complex projects domestically and internationally.

About the Role

We are hiring an Executive Assistant to support the Principal directly and help him operate at maximum effectiveness. This is a high-trust, high-responsibility role for someone who is exceptionally organized, takes genuine ownership of their work, and understands that their success is measured by how much better the principal's day runs because of them.

You will manage the calendar, communications, follow-ups, and administrative coordination across a busy real estate investment firm. You will interface with investors, lenders, attorneys, brokers, contractors, and property managers on behalf of the principal. You will track open items and follow-ups relentlessly and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This role requires someone who is proactive rather than reactive, exercises sound judgment about what requires escalation and what can be handled independently, and communicates with professionalism in every interaction.

What You'll Own

• Calendar management — scheduling, prioritizing, and protecting the principal's time across multiple time zones and deal cycles
• Inbox management — triaging high-volume email, drafting responses, flagging urgent items, and ensuring follow-ups are tracked and completed
• Follow-up tracking — maintaining an active to-do and follow-up list across legal, financial, operational, and deal-related matters and following through until items are resolved
• Communication coordination — drafting professional correspondence on behalf of the principal to investors, lenders, attorneys, brokers, and partners
• Document management — organizing, tracking, and retrieving critical documents including contracts, loan documents, legal filings, and deal materials
• Travel coordination and logistics as needed
• Supporting special projects — including investor reporting, deal tracking, and coordination with the Jordan and international business development activities
• Serving as the organizational backbone of the principal's day — anticipating needs, removing friction, and keeping everything moving

Who You Are

• 3+ years of executive assistant experience supporting a C-suite executive, principal, or senior leader in real estate, finance, law, or a related field
• Exceptionally organized — you maintain systems, track everything, and follow up without being reminded
• A polished, professional communicator — your written correspondence is clean, direct, and reflects well on the person you represent
• Discreet and trustworthy — you will have access to sensitive financial, legal, and investor information and handle it with complete confidentiality
• Proactive — you anticipate what's needed next rather than waiting to be told
• Calm under pressure — a busy principal, multiple active deals, and competing priorities do not rattle you
• Tech fluent — Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, and document management are second nature; experience with real estate platforms a plus
• Based in or able to commute to Paramus, NJ — full-time, on-site role

What We Offer

• $65,000–$80,000 base salary commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus
• Health benefits
• A front-row seat to an active real estate investment firm — you will learn this business deeply
• Direct daily access to the principal — decisions get made here, work matters

To Apply

• Submit your resume. Candidates without executive assistant experience supporting a senior principal or C-suite leader will not be considered.
