Executive Assistant


Executive Assistant (Business Operations Focus)

Location: Remote (LATAM Preferred)

Type: Full-Time

Working Hours: Must significantly overlap with U.S. business hours

About The Company

We are a growing single-family home construction and spec development firm operating in major Texas markets, including Houston and Dallas. Our mission is to build a highly efficient, systems-driven operation — a “beautiful machine” — capable of scaling from a handful of active projects to 10+ concurrent builds.

We combine thoughtful design, disciplined execution, and strong financial oversight to deliver high-quality homes in the $1M+ range. As we scale, operational excellence, proactive communication, and structured workflows are critical to our success.

About The Role

We are seeking a highly proactive Executive Assistant (EA) with strong business operations instincts. This is not a personal assistant role.

You will serve as the company’s operational air traffic controller — ensuring projects, priorities, systems, and communication remain organized, visible, and moving forward.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys building structure out of ambiguity, and takes pride in preventing problems before they happen.

Construction & Rental Project Coordination

  • Coordinate clear task ownership and follow up on commitments
  • Step into operational gaps when needed to keep projects moving
  • Ensure updates, tasks, and documentation are properly captured in PM tools
  • Attend meetings, capture action items, and drive follow-through
  • Keep leadership aligned on priorities and status
  • Act as the first point of contact for the rental portfolio, triaging inquiries from local property managers

Systems & Process Support

  • Help implement and refine SOPs, workflows, and operational playbooks
  • Improve organization of digital files, trackers, and dashboards
  • Support reporting and operational data tracking

Executive Support (Strategic)

  • Manage calendars and scheduling (on a limited basis)
  • Assist with communication triage and prioritization
  • Prepare documents, summaries, and presentations
  • Support cross-functional initiatives
