Executive Assistant
Utah Home Quest • Salt Lake City, UT, US
Posted 1 day ago
Our physical office is located in Bountiful, Utah, near Salt Lake City. We are open to this position being in-office, hybrid, or potentially fully remote for the right candidate, depending on experience, fit, and the applicant's ability to work effectively virtually and hold team members accountable remotely.
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS / HIGH-LEVEL EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Residential Real Estate Sales Team
Operations, Systems, and Transaction Management
HOW TO APPLY
To be considered for this position, please complete both steps below:
Submit your application along with a cover letter explaining why you believe you would be a good fit for this position based on what we are looking for
Then be on the lookout for a second email to complete the DISC assessment.
You may explain why you are the right fit in whatever format communicates it best, whether that is a written email, a video (please send URL), or something else. We want to understand your experience, abilities, and why you believe we should speak further.
The DISC assessment will help us evaluate whether the position may be a good fit, but the decision to speak further will not be based solely on your DISC results. More emphasis will be placed on your experience and how you explain why you believe you are the right person for this role.
LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY
The transaction coordination responsibilities are not intended to be permanent.
As the company grows and our transaction processes are running smoothly, this person will help hire and train a Transaction Coordinator to take over the day-to-day transactional work.
They will then transition fully into the Director of Operations role, overseeing the company’s operations, systems, team accountability, and continued growth.
Long-term, this person will also help:
Recruit and onboard agents and other team members
Build a consistent and repeatable onboarding process
Help agents understand and commit to their production goals
Hold agents accountable to the goals and numbers they set
Organize ongoing team meetings, training, and accountability
Oversee team members and ensure they are following established systems
Continue identifying and solving operational bottlenecks
Document and improve processes throughout the company
WORK LOCATION
This is ideally an in-person position, and our strong preference is to find someone who can regularly work from our office.
However, we are open to a hybrid arrangement for the right person, with most work performed remotely and the person coming into the office at least once or twice per week.
We may also consider a fully remote candidate if they are exceptionally strong at building systems, creating accountability, and managing people virtually. As the team grows and more agents work in person, the ability to be physically present will become increasingly valuable.
COMPENSATION
The starting salary for this position will be approximately $80,000 - $100,000 per year, plus bonus opportunities.
As the company grows, this role has the potential to develop into a high multiple-six-figure leadership position.
INITIAL ROLE
Initially, this person will wear multiple hats and step into the Transaction Coordinator role while also working on operational projects and improving our systems.
The primary focus at first will be managing a high volume of transactions at the same time, primarily seller transactions but buyer transactions as well, from the time a client signs with us through closing.
This person will be responsible for the administrative side of each transaction, including getting listings ready and live on the market, managing paperwork and deadlines, communicating regularly with clients and other parties, processing properties once they go under contract, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
The goal is to remove the administrative responsibilities from our agents and negotiators so they can stay focused on sales, negotiations, and bringing in more business.
At the same time, this person will help us:
Identify and solve current operational bottlenecks
Build, document, and improve processes
Streamline our transaction systems and workflows
Create greater consistency and accountability across the team
Manage projects and make sure they are completed
Find more efficient ways to organize and operate the business
Improve the experience for clients and team members
Solve new operational challenges as the company grows
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
The right person will:
Have several years of residential real estate experience
Have experience as a Director of Operations, Operations Manager, high-level Executive Assistant, Transaction Coordinator, or in a similar role
Ideally have experience working with a high-producing real estate team
Be comfortable managing a high volume of transactions at the same time
Have strong transaction coordination and client communication skills
Be extremely organized and detail-oriented
Have a strong builder mentality
Be skilled at creating, documenting, implementing, and improving systems
Be able to identify bottlenecks and implement practical solutions
Be proactive and able to solve problems without constant direction
Be comfortable managing projects and holding others accountable
Be comfortable wearing multiple hats during a period of growth
Be capable of recruiting, onboarding, and supporting agents as the team grows
Know how to create accountability both in person and virtually
Want to grow into a major long-term leadership role within the company
If you have worked as a high-level Executive Assistant and have helped organize a business, manage projects, improve processes, solve operational problems, or hold a team accountable, we encourage you to apply. You do not need to have previously held the Director of Operations title.
Compensation
$80,000 - $100,000 yearly
We are a growing residential real estate sales team looking for a highly organized operations professional with a strong builder mentality.
