Executive Assistant to the Principal, Projects & Operations

This is closer to a chief of staff than a classic executive assistant. The work starts with the principal's vision and direction — from there you decide what needs to happen, build the plan, coordinate the people, and carry it to completion. You'll represent the principal inside the main real estate company, own company projects, and take the lead on other ventures, including brand-new ideas — while also making the everyday run smoothly. Lakewood, NJ area. Compensation commensurate with experience.

A superb executive assistant who executes assigned tasks is not quite what this is. The difference is ownership: being handed an outcome rather than a checklist.

What this actually looks like

Three lenses on one role

Represent & run point

Speak for the principal inside the real estate company, carry company projects forward, and lead new ventures from idea to execution.

Executive & personal

Calendar, travel, documents, repairs, and family logistics — delegating where sensible, but keeping it done.

AI & technology

Genuinely curious about using AI to make research, drafting, and operations faster and sharper.

Not the next task. The outcome.

Handed an idea, the expectation is to understand the vision, decide what has to happen, build the process, coordinate the people, make the reasonable calls independently — and run point until it is finished.

This is you

You'd rather be handed an outcome than a checklist
You chase down the last 10% without being asked twice

You need every decision approved before you move
