619-342-8000Executive Assistant
Are you highly organized, detail-oriented and passionate about helping people?
Are you that person whom your friends depend on to plan get-togethers? Or do you find that you procrastinate by color-coding your closet or rearranging your desk? If you’re a “make-things-happen” kind of person, then you could be a perfect fit for our Executive Assistant role.
Now, this is not a role for the meek. As the Executive Assistant at Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, your job will be to work with the firm’s Managing Partner directly to keep her organized and on schedule, as well as support broader firm initiatives – some will say this is an impossible task. You will be Haeggquist & Eck’s go-to person and need to be able to problem-solve quickly.
This is an opportunity to be a part of shaping Haeggquist & Eck’s future. Your mission is to help make Haeggquist & Eck even more badass and effective than it already is.
How to get voted off the island: You won’t last long around here if you throw around phrases like, “That’s not my job,” “I don’t know,” or “That’s unreasonable.”
