Lead Administrator & Executive Assistant

Supporting Central Operations for a Family of Small Businesses (Aviation, Engineering, Technical, Skilled & Artisan Trades)

Contracts Finance / Bookkeeping Regulatory Filings HR Executive Ops AI-First Systems

Overview

We build businesses that serve people. This role turns vision into motioncontracts signed, books reconciled, great people hired and onboarded, filings on time, leaders supported. Administration here is leadership : you create order out of noise, move work to done, and raise the standard while you do it.

On any given day youll face more pull than one person can finish. You will think, decide, and deliver : reduce thirty-five competing requests to the vital seven, set clear commitments for the rest, and ship accurate, on-time outcomes under pressure. You design simple systems, communicate crisply, use AI as a power tool (never a crutch), and know when to move fast and when to slow down to get it right.

If youre energized by ownership, service, and resultsand ready to invest yourself in meaningful work alongside high-performing teammatesyoull thrive here. If youre guarding hours, chasing good enough, or looking for a lifestyle desk, you wont. We honor real family commitments and expect adults who keep their word.

Our Core Values

At the heart of our organization are three core values that guide everything we dofrom daily tasks to long-term strategy. These values are not just ideals; they are behaviors we expect, reward, and live by across all companies in our network.

Excellence

We pursue excellence with confidence and humilityowning our work, communicating effectively, and refusing to compromise on quality. We believe true excellence blends technical skill with continuous learning, personal responsibility, and a team-first mindset.

Compassion (Others-First Service)

Our approach to compassion is action-oriented. We lead with empathy, selflessness, and teamworkputting the needs of others first while maintaining high expectations. Its about serving with care, offering support, and creating a positive impactwithout enabling excuses or compromising accountability.

Purpose (You Were Made for This)

We believe each person was created for a purposeand that includes their work. The best administrators dont just organize calendars or run reportsthey bring clarity, calm, and forward motion to everyone around them. They know why they do what they do, and they choose to serve others through their unique blend of insight, drive, detailed organization, and excellence.

If youre someone who sees administration as more than a jobif its the work you were made to dowe want to hear your story. Show us how your sense of purpose aligns with this opportunity to lead, serve, and make an impact.
