Executive Personal Assistant To Founder

Our client is an entrepreneur who built, and now leads, two growing companies: one in mortgage lending and one in insurance. Scaling both takes trust, discretion, integrity, and operational excellence, and they need an Executive Assistant who has done this before.

We are looking for a career EA who has worked directly alongside a founder, co-founder, or entrepreneur-CEO. You know how a founder-led business actually runs: priorities shift by the hour, the leader is pulled in ten directions, and the EA is the one who keeps everything moving. You are excited by the fact that no two days look the same.

This is a long-term partnership. Our client wants someone who will grow with them for years, learn how they think, and become a true extension of them. If you can step in, get oriented quickly, and get to work, we want to connect with you.

What our client needs:

As the Executive Personal Assistant to the CEO, you will own processes and logistics while keeping your leader balanced and informed by doing the following:

• Own a complex calendar while deliberately protecting the CEO’s white space, personal time, and focus
• Manage the inbox end-to-end: monitor, route, draft or respond where appropriate, and flag what truly needs attention
• Research and plan domestic and international travel, to include full itineraries
• Synthesize large amounts of information into narrowed, ready-to-use recommendations
• Handle credit cards, financial information, and executive correspondence responsibly and confidentially
• Handle personal errands and logistics: returns, home support, and dinner-party or event assistance
• Prepare executive meeting materials, including analytics, forecasts, and run-rate data
• Manage special projects and initiatives as assigned
• Collaborate with others on behalf of the CEO and company initiatives

Who you are:

• Founder-tested. You have supported an entrepreneur or co-founder directly and understand the pace, ambiguity, and range that comes with it.
• Intuitive. You read the room, anticipate what's coming, and act before being asked.
• Energized by variety. Calendar strategy in the morning, a forecast deck at noon, a dinner party in the evening. That sounds like a good day to you.
• Fast to ramp. You don't need a long runway. You learn the landscape quickly and start adding value right away.
• Tech-forward. AI and modern tools are part of how you work every day, not something you're getting around to.

Essential Skills and Abilities:

• 5+ years of direct Executive Assistant experience supporting a founder, co-founder, or entrepreneur-CEO
• Hands-on proficiency with AI tools or drafting, research, summarizing, and organizing information, with a clear sense of when and how to use them
• Solutions-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Strong judgment, discretion, and trustworthiness with confidential and financial information
• Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, utilize resources,  and act before being asked
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; error-free, polished correspondence is essential
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Ability to travel a few times a year; Passport is required
• Ability to commute to the Pompano Beach office as needed
• Mortgage or financial-services experience is a plus but not required

Compensation Details:

• Salary $80,000-$90,000
• Health Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, FSA/HSA
• PTO
• Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability 
• 401 (k) with a discretionary company match
• Company-paid Life Insurance 
• Discretionary, performance-based Bonuses
• Professional Development Opportunities 

The role requires at least 5 years of Executive Assistant experience supporting an entrepreneur or founder.
