Job Description

Position Title: Assistant Vice President to COO

This is not a traditional executive support role. It is a front-row seat to the strategy, investments, and growth of a global luxury hospitality platform. The Assistant Vice President to COO will work directly with the Chief Operating Officer, helping drive high-priority initiatives across strategy, performance and development, investor relations, brand marketing and communications. This person will conduct research, develop executive-ready reports, represent the COO in select meetings, track complex projects and ensure critical priorities continue moving forward across a fast-paced global organization.

The ideal candidate is an exceptionally organized, intellectually curious, and highly motivated professional who can absorb complex information quickly, think critically, and communicate with executive-level polish. They are looking for someone who sees this position as a launchpad for long-term leadership and has the ambition to ultimately grow into a senior executive role.

Salary Range: $150,000 base salary with a target year-end bonus of 50% of base salary

  • Support front-end strategic work across business strategy, performance and development, investor relations, brand marketing and communications
  • Build and maintain sophisticated project, priority and action-item tracking systems across numerous concurrent initiatives
  • Leverage AI tools and agents to improve research, project management, workflow efficiency and executive decision support
  • Partner closely with senior leaders and Managing Directors, providing overlapping project support where priorities intersect with the COO
  • Anticipate needs, identify gaps and keep complex initiatives moving without requiring constant direction
  • Distill large amounts of information into clear recommendations, updates, and next steps for senior leadership

Requirements

  • 3–7 years of relevant experience in a high-level strategic, project management or cross-functional role
  • Background in luxury hospitality, investment management, private equity, real estate, investor relations, strategy consulting, communications or another rigorous professional environment
  • Experience in either luxury hospitality or investments with the ability and intellectual curiosity to quickly master the other discipline
  • Advanced understanding of AI, including practical experience using AI tools, workflows and agents to drive productivity and business outcomes
  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage a significant volume of simultaneous priorities with precision
  • Strong critical thinking, research and problem-solving capabilities
  • Polished, concise and confident executive-level written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable speaking up, establishing priorities and operating independently in a high-stakes environment
  • Highly motivated, growth-minded and interested in developing toward significant executive leadership responsibility
  • Comfortable working across cultures and collaborating with colleagues throughout a global organization
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook and modern collaboration and business technology platforms
