Executive Assistant to Owner/Operator
Switchboard is seeking an Executive Assistant on behalf of our client, a successful Denver entrepreneur with multiple thriving businesses.
This is a classic executive assistant role. You’ll be the owner’s right hand and go-to person: the first call when something needs to get done, whether that’s chasing down an invoice, managing his calendar, coordinating with a vendor, or running an errand across town. No two days look alike, and no task is too small.

Why this role is exciting
Our client’s CPG brand is growing about 25% year over year, and you’d be employee #4 on a small, close-knit team. This is a ground-floor opportunity to work directly alongside an experienced operator and help shape how a fast-growing business runs.
What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

• Serve as the owner’s primary point of contact for administrative and personal-business support across multiple entities

• Own requests from start to finish, tracking dozens of open items so nothing slips

• Manage client onboarding and ongoing success of their account

• Handle vendor communications, coordination, and follow-up

• Maintain calendars, appointments, and schedules with precision

• Run errands and provide in-person support as needed

• Anticipate needs and stay a step ahead rather than waiting for direction

• Manage a high volume of communication professionally

• Prepare documents, maintain records, and support general business administration

• Take on special projects and shifting priorities as the business grows

What you bring (Qualifications & Requirements)

• Prior experience as an executive assistant, administrative professional, or personal assistant

• Restaurant or hospitality operations background preferred; other fast-paced operations experience considered

• A proven personal system for tracking tasks and follow-ups, which you’ll be asked to describe

• Exceptional attention to detail and reliability

• Strong responsiveness and comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

• The ability to figure things out without a playbook for every situation

• Bonus: You’re an AI champion and enjoy experimenting with how to optimize your work using AI

Details

• Compensation: $65,000–$100,000 per year, based on experience

• Benefits: This is a 1099 opportunity, benefits are not offered at this time

• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

• Location: Primarily on-site in the owner’s home office in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood, plus local errands. Limited hybrid flexibility may be possible once established.

A note before you apply
Many people think they can do an admin job. This one is harder than it looks. Our client has a lot of moving parts, and he needs someone who closes loops. When a request comes in, you don’t just add it to a list. You figure out what needs to happen, handle it, follow up, and confirm it’s done without being reminded. If you prefer clearly defined duties or a predictable routine, this probably isn’t the right fit. If you love being the person everything runs through, we encourage you to fill out the application.

Our interview process

• AI Interview: Our recruiting team reviews resumes and invites qualified applicants to conduct a conversational AI interview.

• Recruiter screen: Applicants who complete the AI Interview successfully are invited to a screening call with one of our recruiters.

• Assessments: Top applicants complete a 30-minute pre-employment assessments testing cognitive skills, attention to detail, and speed & accuracy.

• In-person interview: Finalists are invited to an on-site interview with the client.
