Executive Assistant

Join the Team

Serv, a global executive recruitment partner, is hiring on behalf of our client, a growing wood products manufacturer based in Enderby, British Columbia, for a strategic Executive Assistant to support the Founder.

Our client operates two sawmills in Enderby, BC with a team of approximately 50 people. They manufacture quality wood products and have built a strong reputation for consistency and reliability in a tough, competitive industry.

The company is in a growth phase — actively building systems, automating processes, and scaling operations. This is an opportunity to join a business that values quality, safety, ownership, and building people up, while playing a critical role in its next stage of expansion.

Who You Are

You are a strategic force multiplier. Someone who thinks two steps ahead, eliminates friction, and amplifies the Founder.

You bring clarity to complexity, structure to chaos, and foresight to decisions. You are highly intuitive, detail-obsessed, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-performance environment.

You communicate with polish, manage with precision, and anticipate needs before they surface. You thrive in a role where excellence, discretion, and relentless proactivity are the expectations.

You are sharp, proactive, and organized. You can fully own an inbox without hand-holding, manage a calendar independently, draft communications in the Founder’s voice, and handle high-level responsibilities with minimal direction.

You are tech savvy and energized by digital tools, automation, and operational efficiency.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and discreet Executive Assistant to support the Founder. This role is critical in ensuring the Founder’s professional and personal operations run seamlessly.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, anticipates needs before they arise, and can manage both strategic and administrative responsibilities with excellence.

You will work closely with the Front Desk Coordinator, Bookkeeper, and the Founder’s Personal Assistant, acting as a central point of coordination across business and personal matters.

This role is ideally based in or around Enderby, BC. However, we are open to a fully remote candidate who is the right strategic fit.
