We are seeking a highly organized, adaptable, and tech-savvy Executive Assistant to support a high-net-worth entrepreneur with multiple business interests, including a large multi-site and rapidly growing consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturer in the laundry and cleaning industry. This role requires a sharp, resourceful professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-expectation environments and can effectively manage a wide range of responsibilities spanning business operations, executive support, and personal logistics.
This is an immersive role where the right candidate will gain firsthand exposure to executive decision-making, corporate strategy, and large-scale business operations. Ideal for someone with under five years of experience, this position offers a unique opportunity to develop a strong foundation in business while working directly with leadership. The role requires discretion, flexibility, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
This is a full-time, salaried position with long-term growth potential for the right individual.
Key Responsibilities
Calendar & Communication Management: Oversee a complex calendar and handle high-level communications with clients, executives, and key stakeholders.
Travel & Logistics: Coordinate domestic and international travel, managing multi-leg itineraries, executive transport, and last-minute changes.
Meetings & Events: Plan and execute business meetings, corporate events, and client hospitality experiences, ensuring seamless execution.
Technology & Organization: Use Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and workflow automation tools to improve business operations; experience with analytics software is a plus.
Financial & Administrative Support: Manage expense reporting, financial tracking, and vendor coordination (experience with Concur Expense Software is an asset).
Why This Is a Great Opportunity
Exposure to high-level business strategy and executive leadership.
Fast-paced, engaging work with a variety of business and personal projects.
The ideal candidate has a strong educational background and 2-5 years of experience in executive support, business operations, or a fast-moving corporate environment. This could be an EA looking for a more challenging and dynamic role or someone with a background in business administration, project management, or operational support who thrives in high-level coordination and problem-solving.
You should be highly detail-oriented, great with numbers, and capable of managing complex logistics with precision. Strong technical skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office, workflow automation, and analytics software, are highly valued. This role is best suited for someone who is organized, proactive, and adaptable, with a natural ability to anticipate needs and handle sensitive information with discretion.
This is not a finance, VC, or banking role-it's ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple business functions and tackling a broad mix of executive and operational challenges. Most work is on-site in Downtown Detroit, so candidates should be based in the area and comfortable with shifting priorities as business needs evolve. If you excel in high-energy, high-impact roles and want hands-on exposure to executive decision-making and strategic operations, this is an exceptional opportunity.
This position offers a starting salary of $65,000 to $75,000, based on skills and experience. The salary is not negotiable, but it will progress appropriately over time based on ability and contribution.
