What We're Looking For
This position requires more than someone who can manage a calendar.
We are looking for an individual who can become a trusted extension of the President & CEO—someone who understands priorities, anticipates needs, follows through, and helps create organization around a demanding executive schedule.
The ideal candidate is:

- Comfortable interacting with senior executives and business leaders.
- Confident enough to professionally manage competing requests for the CEO's time.
- Able to distinguish between urgent matters and matters that can be handled elsewhere.
- An excellent written and verbal communicator.
- Able to manage multiple priorities without losing track of details.
- Resourceful and able to solve problems independently.
- Professional and composed under pressure.
- Comfortable following up with executives and managers regarding outstanding assignments.
- Extremely trustworthy and discreet.
- Flexible and willing to adapt as priorities change.
- Accountable for seeing assignments through to completion.
Qualifications
- Previous Executive Assistant or senior-level administrative experience required.
- Experience directly supporting a President, CEO, owner, C-suite executive, or senior executive strongly preferred.
- Experience working within a multi-location organization preferred.
- Automotive dealership experience is a plus but not required.
- Exceptional organizational and time-management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong proofreading and business-writing abilities.
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and related business applications.
- Strong calendar and meeting-management skills.
- Ability to prepare professional reports, correspondence, presentations, and executive materials.
- Ability to manage highly confidential information.
- Strong interpersonal skills and executive presence.
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision.
- Ability to appropriately prioritize multiple urgent and competing demands.
- Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent executive-support experience.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel locally between company locations as needed.
- Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.
Schedule & Availability
This is a full-time position based primarily in the Miami.
Because this position directly supports the President & CEO, flexibility may occasionally be required outside normal business hours for urgent executive matters, meetings, travel coordination, company events, or other business needs.
