We are seeking a dynamic Executive Assistant to support our CEO, Jess Larsen.

If you succeed in winning this position, you will never be bored. Jess leads multiple organizations, including an ultra-luxury real estate platform company, Connection (a new website is coming soon). A charity he started 15 years ago to combat child trafficking, An invite-only event series for billionaires, CEOs, Pro-Athletes, top Hollywood professionals, and other high achievers,  And a podcast production agency,

The main company taking Jess's time is Connection. The company helps ultra-high-net-worth families with their portfolio of luxury homes, typically valued between $10 million and $100 million. We assist them in partial or full home acquisitions and divestitures, as well as high-end services and operations. We make ownership effortless and provide the services for our clients to feel like royal guests at the most premium luxury hotel but in the privacy of the different homes they own. 

Compensation: Your choice of $80k/yr without benefits or $65k/yr with benefits (health, dental, etc).  

This role is onsite, M-F, 8-5, in Heber, UT. 

Paid holidays, + 2 weeks paid vacation days/yr, unlimited sick days/time off for appointments. 

What it's like to work with us:

We are a very tight-knit group that cares about people. Some of us have worked together for over 20 years. We are very entrepreneurial and want to hear your great ideas, especially when it comes to exceeding expectations for our clients or reducing frustration and unnecessary work for your coworkers or yourself. We are exciting and fast-paced. We are huge believers in everyone's ability to progress, and you will be paid for one hour a day of self-improvement, half on a subject of your choosing and half on a subject set by the company.

We have a very high value for results, speed, and achievement but an equally high value for respect. We will not allow people to take out their frustration on you, yell or curse at you, make rude comments, or disrespect you. To stay employed with us, we will expect you to hold yourself to the same standard of emotional intelligence in the way that you treat your coworkers, even when a deadline is tense, or mistakes are made. 

Responsibilities include:

• Emailing, scheduling, gatekeeping, coordinating travel and expense reports, and ad hoc operational responsibilities, including HR, onboarding, helping with client paperwork, event planning, etc.
• Online research, making suggestions, and helping Jess come up with new ways to improve the company.
• The main skill that not everyone can handle is answering Jess's calls right away as he is often going from meeting to meeting with very little time in between, and then being able to handle pausing what you are working on, even if you're not done, and switching to the new thing that Jess wants to be worked on next. He is a very fast-paced entrepreneur who multi-tasks many things at once. Many people can't always see why he wants what he wants until later when it all comes together. It takes a special person to switch between his many projects when they don't immediately make sense, to anticipate needs, and to keep it all organized. 

Qualifications:

• 5-8 yrs+ Executive Assistant experience. Preferred but not required: 4yrs+ to an Entrepreneur or CEO/C-Suite Exec of a fast-growing company. 
• Demonstrated loyalty, trustworthiness, and confidentially with highly valuable information. 
• Very respectful and professional communication skills to have phone calls with millionaires, billionaires, CEOs, media contacts, Pro Athletes, top people from Hollywood, and their staff.
• Highly professional writing skills for emails to those listed above and their staff.
• High emotional intelligence, the ability to choose patience or kindness even when you don't feel like it. 

If this position sounds exciting to you, please submit a résumé. If you are a fit, one of our team, will contact you.
