Project Assistant

The Langer Group is the holder of several services businesses in the equestrian (horse) industry. The CEO is looking for someone who can help accomplish tasks, stay within deadlines, and be able to work both independently and collaboratively. Some projects will be simple – one or two steps – and often recurring, such as helping with meeting agendas, scheduling, and sending concluding notes and action items. Some projects will be complex with the assistant working on identified steps independently and then updating the CEO. The project assistant will need to interact with company managers and other key staff in a professional, effective manner. Knowledge of the horse industry is not expected. However, the project assistant will be expected to learn terminology and some concepts in order to function effectively.
