Executive Assistant to CEO

The Law Offices of Joumana Kayrouz

Southfield, Michigan | On-site | Full-Time

Executive Support | Direct Access to the Owner | High-Trust Role

Are you the person people rely on to keep everything running, anticipate what is needed, and get it done before being asked?

Do you want a high-trust role supporting a driven firm owner, where your follow-through directly frees her to do her best work?

The Law Offices of Joumana Kayrouz is seeking an Executive Assistant to the CEO to support the firm’s owner directly. This is a high-trust, high-responsibility role for someone who is organized, proactive, discreet, and comfortable working alongside a fast-moving, decisive leader.

You will be the person who keeps the owner’s day on track, manages competing priorities, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. Success here means the owner can focus on the highest-value work because you are handling everything else with sound judgment and very little supervision.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage the owner’s calendar, scheduling, and daily priorities
• Screen, organize, and follow up on emails, calls, and incoming requests
• Track tasks and projects to completion and keep commitments from slipping
• Prepare for meetings, gather materials, and make sure the owner is ready
• Coordinate across the firm’s attorneys, staff, and outside contacts
• Handle confidential information with complete discretion
• Anticipate needs and solve problems before they become urgent
• Manage travel, logistics, and appointments
• Provide clear, brief status updates and flag what needs a decision
• Take ownership of follow-through so priorities actually get done

What We’re Looking For

• Substantial experience as an executive assistant, chief of staff, or senior administrator supporting a busy owner, executive, or principal — this is a seasoned-professional role, and demonstrated experience is required
• Exceptional organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and make sound judgment calls
• Calm, steady, and reliable under a fast pace and direct communication
• Discretion and confidentiality at all times
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication
• Comfort with written priorities, weekly check-ins, and direct feedback
• Strong technology skills across calendar, email, documents, and scheduling tools
• Low drama, high accountability, and a genuine service mindset

A note on fit: the owner is fast, direct, and results-driven. The right person brings structure, patience, and reliability, takes feedback without taking it personally, and keeps things moving without needing to be chased.

Why You’ll Enjoy Working Here

This is a role with real responsibility and direct access to leadership. You will see the inner workings of a respected, growing firm and play a central part in how smoothly it runs.

For someone who takes pride in being the indispensable right hand and wants a long-term seat close to the decision-maker, this is a rare opportunity with strong growth potential.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $65,000 to $95,000, commensurate with experience — the more experienced and capable you are, the higher the compensation
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and holidays
• Bonus eligibility, retirement, and any additional benefits to be confirmed
