Executive Assistant to the CEO (Operations \& Projects)

Elysian Real Estate Group \| Austin, TX (East Austin HQ)

Part\-Time or Full\-Time (Flexible Structure with Significant Growth Opportunity)

About Elysian

Elysian Real Estate Group is a design\-forward real estate investment and hospitality company based in Austin, Texas. We acquire, develop, and operate distinctive properties—from boutique hotels like bohème to multifamily and experiential assets—focused on creating environments people feel.

We move fast, think creatively, and operate with intention. Every project is an opportunity to build something meaningful, memorable, and differentiated.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role.

This is a high\-exposure, high\-growth position for someone who wants to be in the room where decisions are made, and help execute them.

You will work directly with the Founder/CEO across:

• Real estate investments
• Hospitality (hotels \& short\-term rental) operations
• Active construction and design projects
• Day\-to\-day executive priorities

You will be a trusted extension of the CEO, helping bring order, clarity, calmness, and momentum to a fast\-moving environment.

If you’re highly organized, resourceful, and hungry to grow into operations, real estate, or leadership—this role is designed for you.

What You’ll DoExecutive Support

• Own and optimize the CEO’s calendar, priorities, and daily flow
• Manage communications and act as a gatekeeper across internal and external stakeholders
• Prepare materials, agendas, and follow\-ups for meetings

STR Operations

• Assist with guest communications across booking platforms
• Help maintain response standards, tone, and guest experience quality
• Support day\-to\-day operational coordination for short\-term rental properties

Vendor \& Partner Management

• Coordinate with vendors (cleaning teams, maintenance, contractors, designers, etc.)
• Track timelines, ensure accountability, and maintain strong relationships
• Help streamline vendor communication and performance

Construction \& Project Coordination

• Support active construction and renovation projects
• Coordinate schedules, track deliverables, and assist with project timelines
• Maintain organization across plans, budgets, and communications

Operational Execution

• Jump into high\-priority tasks across the business as needed
• Identify inefficiencies and proactively solve problems
• Help bring structure and clarity to fast\-moving initiatives

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptional organization and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High ownership mindset — you take initiative without being asked
• Ability to prioritize in a fast\-paced, ever\-changing environment
• Discretion and professionalism with sensitive information
• Interest in real estate, hospitality, design, or startups

Bonus if you:

• Have worked in a startup or entrepreneurial environment
• Enjoy wearing multiple hats and figuring things out
• Have experience in hospitality, STR, or property operations

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• The CEO’s time is optimized and protected
• Communication flows clearly and efficiently
• STR operations are organized and responsive
• Vendors and projects are coordinated and on track
• You’ve become a reliable, proactive force within the business

Compensation \& Growth

* Flexible structure: Open to both part\-time and full\-time candidates

* Starting at $30/hour\+, based on experience

* Additional hours compensated at $35/hour

* Eligible for discretionary bonuses

This role is designed for growth. As Elysian continues to expand, there will be significant opportunity to take on increased responsibility and evolve within the company.

A strong performer in this role will have a clear path to:

• Increased hours and responsibility
• Expanded scope across operations, projects, and leadership support
• Transition into a full\-time, higher\-compensated position with long\-term upside

Why This Role Is Different

You won’t just be managing a calendar—you’ll be:

• Sitting in on real estate and investment conversations
• Helping execute live development and hospitality projects
• Working directly with a founder building a growing platform

This is a chance to learn the business from the inside out and grow alongside it.
