🏢 About the Client

Our client is a well-established industrial general contracting company based in Southern California with a workforce of 15–20 employees. Led by a direct, high-standard, and fast-paced founder who pushes his team to achieve continuous growth and excellence, the owner balances multi-faceted ventures—including core industrial operations and real estate property investments—and requires a high-level partner to buy back his mental bandwidth and operational focus.

💼 About the Role

This is a high-leverage Executive Assistant role built for a true "right hand" partner—not a passive administrative task-taker. Working directly with the Owner, you will take full ownership of executive logistics, property administration, project organization, and day-to-day operational filtering. You will operate with extreme proactivity, sharp critical thinking, and a self-directed mindset to act as a force multiplier for the Owner.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

  • 💼 Executive & Administrative Ownership: Actively manage, organize, and filter the Owner’s inbox and calendar; serve as the primary operational filter to resolve low-to-medium friction tasks independently; prepare pre-meeting briefs, compile relevant documentation, and track follow-up action items.

  • 🏗️ Operations, Construction & Property Support: Execute administrative and organizational tasks for the core industrial/construction business (filing, cross-department tracking, document control) and provide admin support for the real estate property portfolio.

  • 🤖 AI Workflows & Process Optimization: Utilize AI engines (specifically Claude) as a daily thinking partner to draft communications, brainstorm solutions, document SOPs, and build KPI reporting dashboards.

✅ Qualifications & Skills

⭐ Non-Negotiable Requirements:

  • Intellectual Courage & Proactive Pushback: Must be willing to challenge the Owner's thinking respectfully, bring alternative perspectives, and "bite back" when appropriate to achieve the best outcome.

  • Resourceful Independence with High Humility: Manages tasks effectively and attempts to solve problems independently before escalating, while having the humility to ask for help before wasting time guessing.

  • Effective Inbox & Email Management: Skilled at managing email efficiently to help the Owner step away from constant inbox checking.

  • AI Capability: Proficient or highly capable with AI tools (specifically Claude) to accelerate work quality, problem-solving speed, and process creation.

  • Schedule & Communication: Flawless written and verbal English skills; available during U.S. Pacific Time (PST) with flexibility to assist when high-volume needs arise.
