    Company Description

    Here at Traverse City Whiskey Co., "The Whiskey of the North", we are a fast-growing distillery based in northern Michigan. We distribute numerous whiskey expressions across 30 states and cocktail ingredients, including Premium Cocktail Cherries, Simple Syrup and a full line-up of cocktail mixers (under the Cocktail Crate brand), nationwide.

    We are seeking a highly reliable and experienced Executive Assistant to support our leadership team and bring organization, responsiveness, and consistency to a fast-paced environment.

    Job Description

    We’re looking for a detail-oriented, highly organized Executive Assistant to provide hands-on administrative and operational support to two CEOs (one onsite, one remote). This role is grounded in execution, coordination, and communication - ideal for someone who thrives on keeping things moving, managing details, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

    The right candidate is a strong communicator and natural coordinator who can confidently manage day-to-day administrative responsibilities, serve as a central point of contact, and help direct information, people, and priorities where they need to go. This person must be comfortable handling both high-level communications and routine administrative work with equal care and professionalism.

    This role requires sound judgment, discretion, and a high level of emotional intelligence to effectively support two different leadership styles and interact with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

    Responsibilities

    Manage and maintain complex calendars for two CEOs, including scheduling, prioritization, and conflict resolution

    Coordinate and book all travel arrangements, including itineraries, accommodations, and logistics

    Handle expense reporting, invoice tracking, and other administrative financial tasks accurately and on time

    Serve as a central point of contact, routing inquiries, communications, and requests to the appropriate people or departments

    Manage email and phone correspondence on behalf of the CEOs, ensuring timely and professional responses

    Prepare, proofread, and format internal and external communications, documents, and presentations

    Coordinate meetings, including scheduling, logistics, materials preparation, and follow-ups

    Act as a “traffic coordinator” for the executive team - managing workflow, priorities, and information flow across the organization

    Support sales-related administrative functions, including managing prospect and client communications, tracking interactions, and maintaining accurate records in CRM systems

    Assist in organizing and following up on sales opportunities, ensuring timely responses and alignment with leadership priorities

    Oversee and help manage CEO-related projects and priorities using project management tools, ensuring visibility, organization, and follow-through across key initiatives

    Maintain and update systems (CRM, project management platforms, and internal trackers) to ensure accurate, up-to-date information and smooth coordination across teams

    Maintain organized systems for files, contacts, and key documents

    Support day-to-day office and administrative needs as they arise, including ad hoc tasks

    Build strong working relationships across teams and represent the CEOs with professionalism and approachability

    Maintain strict confidentiality and handle sensitive information with discretion

    Qualifications

    5+ years of experience in an administrative, executive assistant, or office management role

    Strong organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail and follow-through

    Excellent written and verbal communication skills

    Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and keep processes running smoothly in a fast-paced environment

    Comfortable handling both high-level communications and routine administrative tasks

    Experience supporting sales processes or working within a CRM system; familiarity with NetSuite is a plus

    Experience using project management tools (such as Monday.com or similar platforms) to track tasks, deadlines, and priorities

    Strong systems orientation with the ability to keep tools, data, and workflows organized and up to date

    Strong interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence; able to adapt to different personalities and working styles

    Ability to anticipate needs, stay organized under pressure, and remain flexible

    Proficiency with Google Workspace

    Professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment in handling confidential information

    Experience supporting multiple executives is a plus
