Executive Assistant

We are looking for a highly capable Executive Assistant to provide high-level administrative and operational support to senior executives.

We are supporting the launch of a new F1-style thoroughbred racing league where celebrity- and brand-owned teams will compete head-to-head in a season-long competition spanning multiple iconic tracks across the U.S. This is a high-trust role supporting senior leadership, with responsibilities expected to include calendar and travel management, coordination with internal and external stakeholders, meeting preparation and follow-up, research, communications, and broader executive support in a fast-paced, high-profile environment.

This is not a traditional admin role focused primarily on ad hoc tasks. We are looking for professionals who are comfortable working directly with executives, managing competing priorities, anticipating needs, protecting confidential information, and taking ownership of tasks and processes from start to finish.

The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, resourceful, and capable of working with minimal supervision. You should be someone who can identify what needs to be done, determine the best way to accomplish it, and follow through without needing constant direction.

Estimated Salary: The compensation range for this position is currently being finalized. As part of the application process, please share your expected salary based on your experience and qualifications. Your expectations will be considered as part of the overall compensation discussion, along with the scope and requirements of the role.
