/ABOUT LIFE REMODELED: Life Remodeled works with communities and organizations to create neighborhood revitalization that lasts. Our unique model repurposes vacant properties into one-stop hubs of opportunity where families can thrive. We fill these hubs with the best and brightest nonprofit organizations and facilitate collaboration to create far greater life transformation together than was previously possible alone. Together, we ensure three things:
Detroit students perform at/above grade level in math and reading
Families have access to essential health and wellness services
Community members obtain higher paying jobs and achieve economic self-sufficiency
/DEFINING THE OPPORTUNITY: The Executive Administrative Assistant role is essential to our success! You're the backbone of our mission through an administrative lens, ensuring the COO and CEO have what they need to seamlessly serve the needs of our external stakeholders and team members, and that they meet their internal commitments and goals. You anticipate the needs of others, looking ahead to prevent problems from arising. This position involves scheduling meetings, booking travel, managing communication at a high level, keeping track of expenses, and running side-by-side with the fast paces of our COO and CEO.
/COMMITTED TO OUR CORE VALUES: • Community First: We prioritize the expertise, desires and needs of students and community residents in the neighborhoods where our projects are focused. Their ideas, hopes and dreams matter most. Bottom line, no matter how awesome anyone thinks Life Remodeled's projects are, they mean absolutely nothing if they don't align with the values and ambitions of children, youth and adults who make up the local community. • Always Find a Way: Our annual goals are always nearly out of reach. Unforeseen circumstances happen. Things change, and we are not only flexible, but we find better solutions than ever before. Every day we are innovating and creating a future that doesn't yet exist. There is always a way, and our team is made of those who not only believe this, but they make it happen. • Bold Humility: Wielding the powerful balance of boldness and humility is what drives Team Life Remodeled to take the form of servant leaders, who value the needs of others over our own with confidence and determination. We embrace our weaknesses and limitations, and we know we all have blind spots. Therefore, we are life-long learners who see every encounter and every challenge as opportunities to learn and grow as human beings.
