Executive Operations Assistant – Remodeling & Construction Company (Residential & Commercial)
Worldwide
Summary US-based remodeling company (residential & commercial) seeking an experienced Executive Operations Assistant for a long-term, remote position. About This Role This is not a basic admin position. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can manage multiple priorities across more than one business, and takes ownership of their work without being reminded. The primary focus is supporting our building and remodeling operations, with additional support across our sister organizations as needed. We need someone who is genuinely proactive — not someone who waits to be told what to do next. In this role, you will be expected to anticipate needs, identify problems before they escalate, and take action without being asked. If you are the type of person who notices something falling through the cracks and fixes it before anyone else realizes it was a problem — that is exactly who we are looking for. If you are self-motivated, highly organized, bring energy and initiative to everything you do, and take pride in staying one step ahead — we want to hear from you. If you need constant direction, prefer a slower pace, or wait to be told what to do next — this will not be the right fit.
