Related is seeking a polished, proactive, and highly organized Executive Assistant to support the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). The primary focus of this role is providing exceptional executive support through proactive calendar and priority management, sound judgement, and seamless coordination of the CHRO’s day-to-day responsibilities.  This role will also contribute to executive communications, document development, and project coordination, providing critical support to the CHRO and broader HR leadership team.

• Prepare presentations, executive summaries, meeting notes, and briefing materials for HR leadership meetings and broader company initiatives.
• Maintain rolling agendas and action-item trackers to document key decisions, establish ownership, and ensure follow-through.
• Assist with gathering and synthesizing information from internal surveys, employee feedback, and other HR initiatives, translating findings into organized summaries and actionable insights.

Project & Department Coordination

• Support the coordination and execution of key HR projects and enterprise-wide initiatives, tracking milestones, deliverables, and deadlines.
• Proactively follow up with stakeholders to collect materials, monitor progress, and keep projects moving forward.
• Coordinate cross-functional meetings and initiatives involving HR leadership and other departments across Related.
• Assist with planning and executing HR department events, leadership gatherings, employee engagement activities, and company celebrations.
• Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and leverage emerging technologies, including AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude, to enhance efficiency and productivity.

Qualifications:

• 5 + years of executive level support, ideally within a corporate, financial services, real estate, or similarly fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting strategic projects or coordinating initiatives across multiple stakeholders.
• Exceptional organizational skills, with the ability to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and work independently.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience developing presentations and executive-level materials.
• Strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to handle highly confidential and sensitive information.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel.
• Comfortable leveraging AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline workflows and improve productivity.
• Responsive, flexible, and comfortable working onsite five days per week, with the ability to adjust schedule as business needs require.
