The Role 

This is an administrative role at its core — and so much more. As an Associate in the CEO's Office, you will be the organizational backbone supporting our Chief Executive, ensuring the day-to-day operations of the executive office run seamlessly. You'll manage schedules, communications, travel, and key administrative processes that keep the business moving. 

But this role is also designed as a launching pad. We view this position as one of the best seats in the house — a unique vantage point from which you'll gain exposure to every function in the business, build relationships across the organization, and develop a deep understanding of how a company operates at its highest level. For the right candidate, this role is an intentional first step toward broader opportunities within the business. 

The person who thrives here isn't necessarily someone who has it all figured out — they're someone who is proactive, has a sharp attention to detail, and is genuinely curious about how businesses work. If that's you, this is where you start.

Who You Are 

You don't need to have your entire career mapped out — we're looking for someone early in their journey who brings the right qualities to grow with us. You might be a great fit if you: 

Recently graduated (or are about to) with a Bachelor's degree in any field — we're more interested in how you think than what you studied 

Have a GPA you're proud of and aren't afraid to share it (please include your GPA on your resume) 

Are the person who catches the typo everyone else missed 

Naturally think a few steps ahead and take action without being asked 

Are endlessly curious — you ask questions, connect dots, and want to understand the "why" behind things 

Can juggle multiple tasks without dropping the ball, even when priorities shift 

Know how to be trusted with sensitive information and act with maturity and discretion 

Are comfortable with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) or eager to get up to speed quickly 

Communicate clearly — whether in writing or in person 

No prior executive support experience required. What matters most is your mindset, your work ethic, and your curiosity.
