Administrative Assistant (Small Office)
Houston, TX | On site, Monday–Friday, 9–5 | $50,000–$65,000
We are hiring an Administrative Assistant for a brand-new, two-person corporate office. This Administrative Assistant role is for someone who has already been the only admin in a small office and liked it. If your administrative assistant experience is in a large organization with a defined task list and a supervisor down the hall, this is not the right fit.
The environment
Two people in the office: you and the executive you support. She travels and is often offsite, so you will regularly be on your own.
The office is new. There is no predecessor, no handover and no manual. You will help build how things run.
The role will evolve. Some things happen every day; the rest is whatever the company needs that week.
What the Administrative Assistant does
Pays company bills and handles accounts payable support
Runs purchasing projects start to finish: research the options, bring a recommendation, get sign-off, close it out
Sets up and runs the office: furniture, internet, vendors, supplies
Sends company communications, orders new-hire gifts, and keeps documents moving
Handles same-day requests quickly while keeping longer projects on track
What you need
Experience as the sole or primary administrative person in an office of under 50 people
Experience reporting directly to an owner, founder or executive
A track record of juggling unrelated tasks and finishing them without being chased
Bill pay or accounts payable experience (QuickBooks is a plus)
Able to work on site 9–5 in [City], TX
What we offer
$50,000–$65,000, based on experience
13 floating holidays plus standard benefits
Real ownership, with more independence as trust builds
