About Ember Capital Group
Ember Capital Group is a vertically integrated real estate investment platform based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded nearly seven years ago, the company has grown into the parent organization behind five businesses operating across multiple sectors of the real estate industry.
Through its companies, Ember Capital operates across acquisitions, development, brokerage, construction, and real estate services—allowing the organization to control the full lifecycle of real estate opportunities from sourcing deals to renovation, development, and resale.
The company was built with an entrepreneurial mindset and a focus on execution. What started as a small operation has grown into a multi-company platform operating across the Southeast with a team that moves quickly, thinks creatively, and prioritizes results.
The Executive Assistant role will work directly alongside the founder and leadership team, helping coordinate the fast-moving operations of a growing real estate platform.
About the Role
We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to partner with our CEO—someone who can bring order to complexity and turn ideas into execution across a dynamic portfolio of companies.
This isn't a traditional EA role where you're just managing a calendar. You'll be the CEO's strategic right hand, working across real estate ventures, construction operations, BPO/technology services, and brand initiatives. If you thrive on variety, love solving problems independently, and want real impact (not just inbox management), this role offers serious growth potential.
Key Responsibilities
Be the CEO's Operating System
Own the calendar completely—schedule, optimize, protect focus time, and ensure every meeting has a purpose
Translate the CEO's ideas, voice notes, and rapid-fire conversations into organized tasks and follow-through
Maintain a clear view of priorities across all companies and keep the CEO focused on what matters most
Prepare the CEO for every meeting with context, background, and clear agendas
Manage the day to day
Serve as the central hub for communication—triage what's urgent, delegate what you can, surface what the CEO needs to see
Track commitments, action items, and open loops across multiple businesses and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Follow up with internal teams and external partners to keep projects moving
Handle the unexpected (and there will be plenty) with good judgment and minimal drama
Execute Independently
Take projects from concept to completion without needing hand-holding
Make decisions on scheduling, travel, vendor management, and operational details
Organize information to support better decision-making
Coordinate logistics, handle confidential materials, and manage both business and personal needs seamlessly
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience supporting a C-level executive or founder
- Strong organizational and time-management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- High level of discretion and professionalism
- Ability to work independently and make sound judgment calls
- Comfortable in fast-paced, high-expectation environments
Must-Haves
3+ years supporting a C-level executive or founder (ideally in a fast-paced environment—startups, real estate, construction, or multi-business operators preferred)
Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping balls
Strong communication skills (written and verbal)—you can draft emails, summarize meetings, and represent the CEO professionally
High judgment and discretion with confidential information
Self-starter mentality—you don't wait to be told what to do; you see what needs doing and handle it
- Comfortable with ambiguity—you adapt quickly when priorities shift (and they will)
Work Environment
Location: In-office position in Atlanta (specific location details during interview)
Hours: 45-50 hours per week. This role requires flexibility—some early mornings, occasional evenings, and responsiveness when the CEO is traveling or handling time-sensitive matters.
Culture: We move fast, value results over process, and believe in trusting people to do great work. You'll have autonomy to make decisions and direct access to the CEO. We don't micromanage, but we do expect excellence.
