My client, a small real estate investment firm based in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, is seeking a Team Assistant to join their close-knit team on a part-time, temporary basis. The role includes a mix of administrative support and hands-on errands. Expected hours are approximately 8–10 per week. Mostly on-site, but some tasks may be completed remotely.

The client is open to considering students and is willing to accommodate class schedules. Please note: they are looking for someone who can provide long-term support. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior or aspiring business support professional looking to gain experience in the real estate investment space.

• Coordinate travel logistics for the team, eg. flight bookings, ground transportation, and accommodation bookings.
• Research and book reliable third-party vendors/contractors to resolve on-site technical issues (e.g., optimizing high-speed Wi-Fi on the roof and in the backyard, installing a security camera system on the private roof deck).
• Obtain quotes from vendors and contractors for various property-related projects (e.g., electrical work for a hot tub, door removal and patching, minor renovations).
• Assist with setting up monitoring systems (e.g., temperature and humidity controls) for an art collection.
• Help set up a high-quality coffee setup at the residence to replicate a favorite café experience.
• Manage incoming calls, emails, and physical mail, ensuring timely communication and follow-up.
• Use Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to draft, format, and edit documents, reports, and presentations as needed.

WHO YOU ARE 

• A hands-on, proactive, and flexible team assistant with some prior experience in business/administrative support.
• Confident working independently and completing tasks to a high standard with minimal supervision.
• Available to start immediately and hit the ground running.
• Able to commit to 8–10 hours per week, spread flexibly over several weekdays (Monday–Friday).
• Tech-savvy, with strong computer literacy and proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, cloud storage platforms, web browsers, and spreadsheets.
