Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant to the CEO

Are you ready to join our thriving family of enterprises at Original Ventures? We're a dynamic family-owned business with an impressive portfolio, including The Strawberry Inn, Original Realty Co, Arizona Vacation Company, and The Dale Modern Day Spa.

Our passion lies in transforming real estate and breathing new life into them with exciting business ventures. If you're someone who is eager to become a vital part of our expanding family, and if you embody core values like excellence, ownership, teamwork, continuous improvement and demonstrate Grit, then we want to hear from you!

Hello, I'm Carson Eilers, CEO of Original Ventures. I am personally writing this job description. Why? Because you are going to have to work with me and all my imperfections day in and day out in a position where the work is never done and you have to fall in love with the chaos. It takes a special person to even think they can conquer this role. It's not for the faint at heart. Before I tell you about this role and the responsibilities I'd like you to read through the company description.

You should do your research. Google me, our companies etc. You will likely find that we have created an environment many companies strive for yet only the strong and committed can create. Our people come first, and as you go through this process you will find that our culture and team fit comes before your skills and abilities. For us to grow together you must first fit with the core values of our team.

Once you are in, you can expect to have a second home. A place where passionate people work. A place where excellence exists at every level. A place that you will be excited to get up every day and contribute to.

Life is way too short to do something you don't love, so if you don't love high intensity, little direction, and high accountability to being the best at what you do, then keep moving. This isn't for you.

What you can expect is to learn and to be led by a very passionate and ambitious CEO. My goal in every person we come in contact with, especially those that work directly with me, is to give the gifts of what I have learned as I have grown my past businesses and current businesses.

You'll tap into a vast library of books, events, and high-level training that would cost hundreds of thousands to acquire. If you are a seeker of knowledge you will be in heaven. If you are not, well, you won't make it here. We are all about getting better every day in every area of life.

Ultimately, whether you are looking to be in this position for a period of learning, or you want this to be a catapult into an executive position, my hope is that you will leave here having grown to be a better person having been here. This role could very well lead to an upper management position in this company, or others that we own. What I can tell you for sure is that this position will be an extreme learning experience. You will learn the inner workings of our systems and processes that run our businesses with incredible predictability.

You will be in every meeting with myself and team leaders, assist us in executing our project management, strategic planning, and various other projects that will be spontaneous and sometimes critical.

As much as this attracts visionary personalities, and as much as I LOVE working with visionaries, there is a quality you must have that many visionaries don't have and that is a mindset for process and an eye for detail.

If you feel you have what it takes to be in this position, please submit your resume.
