Posted 3 weeks ago

We’re looking for a smart, organized, savvy, and trustworthy individual to be our executive assistant. You will be supporting a husband-wife ownership team in both business and personal tasks.

Together we lead a number of businesses, including Bryghtpath, serve on several non-profit boards, and lead one of the largest security conferences in the United States. We're also involved in Second Amendment political advocacy, so this willl need to be something that you are comfortable with supporting.

To be direct, we’re looking for a highly organized and extraordinarily detail-oriented individual who has previous experience as an executive assistant for a senior executive or business owner.

This position is structured as a mix of work-from-home and on-site at our office in Shoreview, Minnesota. On-site will be required at least three days a week typically, but you can work all five days from the office if desired.

You’ll be joining a small, nimble, successful, business that is growing significantly year over year.

The work is challenging, global, fast-paced, and ever-evolving. Our clients run the range from large, established Fortune 50 enterprise organizations to local and regional startups that are breaking new ground with their products and services. We have industry concentrations in healthcare, non-profit, retail, energy, and technology / new media businesses currently.

The work is never boring and the opportunities to learn new skills are present every day.

Position Overview

  • This is a fast-paced, detail-oriented role. Expect to receive multiple Slack or e-mailed requests per day from the owners, many of which will include tasks that will need to be prioritized and completed that day.
  • You’ll be responsible for managing large aspects of our business and personal details, including travel, scheduling, and coordination with our team.
  • Our office environment is fairly laid back, with a casual dress code, and a fun, lively culture. At the same time, we have high expectations for our team. This is definitely not a slow-paced 9-5 role.
  • If you have extensive experience managing an executive or business owner’s calendar, travel, and personal affairs, this position will be challenging and rewarding.
  • You should be highly comfortable with technology. We utilize Notion for project management and internal processes, Slack for internal collaboration, and email very sparingly.

  • Maintain daily calendar, arrange calls, meetings, and conferences while making sure all details are handled in a clear and organized manner.
  • Assist with monitoring of e-mail, voicemail, and Slack, including responding to clients, partners, and other business contacts.
  • Serve as point person for both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Assist with event planning for small team meetings and client events, including travel arrangements, meeting rooms, dining options, activities, coordinating with all attendees, and often some onsite execution.
  • Assist with the creation and review of business documents.
  • Track and maintain updated records on various business filings and compliance activities – coordinate as needed with outside counsel.
  • Maintain office supplies.  Manage small fulfillment and follow-up tasks.  Coordinate with bookkeepers, accountants, and others as necessary.
