At Chelsea Piers you will find colleagues who are passionate about what we do. Careers at Chelsea Piers offer unmatched facilities, excellent benefits, and proven career growth opportunities for people who are passionate about transforming the lives of our community through sports, fitness, and event experiences.

About The Opportunity

Chelsea Piers is seeking a highly capable Executive Associate to work directly with and in support of the CEO. This is a multi-faceted role – part executive assistant, part analyst, part operational integrator, not a conventional administrative position. The right person will be intellectually curious, independently minded, and a resourceful self-starter who takes initiative without waiting to be told what to do next.

The CEO oversees a complex, multi-layered business spanning real estate, fitness, sports, events, and hospitality. He moves quickly, thinks analytically, and holds work to a high standard. The Executive Associate will need to earn trust through the quality of their output and the soundness of their judgment. For the right candidate, this is a rare opportunity to work closely with and learn from a seasoned CEO leading a dynamic, growing business with significant breadth and complexity.

Executive Support

• Track open items, follow-ups, and deadlines; proactively flag what needs attention
• Draft and manage correspondence on behalf of the CEO with clarity and discretion
• Build and maintain systems that keep projects, documents, and priorities organized
