Chief Executive Officer Jobs in New Jersey

About Two River

Two River is an award-winning creative production and experiential agency specializing in original television and digital content, branded entertainment, corporate communications, and live event experiences.

Through Two River Pictures and Two River Events, we partner with leading brands, networks, technology companies, and organizations to create compelling content and memorable experiences. From television and video production to global conferences, sales meetings, customer events, and branded experiences, our work takes us across the country and around the world.

We are a collaborative, entrepreneurial company that values creativity, initiative, responsiveness, attention to detail, and exceptional client service.

The Opportunity

Two River is seeking a highly organized, resourceful, and proactive Executive Assistant to support our Founder & CEO.

This role is ideal for an ambitious professional with at least two years of relevant experience who is ready to take greater ownership of executive support and business operations while building a career within the entertainment, media, production, and events industries.

This is more than a traditional scheduling and administrative position. The Executive Assistant will be expected to understand the CEO's priorities, exercise sound judgment, independently manage day-to-day executive-office responsibilities, and help ensure that commitments, communications, meetings, and business priorities move forward efficiently. We are looking for someone who doesn't simply react to requests, but learns to anticipate what needs to happen next.

Key Responsibilities

Executive & Calendar Management

• Independently manage and prioritize the CEO's calendar, including client meetings, internal meetings, business development activities, productions, events, travel, and other commitments.
• Evaluate scheduling requests and exercise judgment in determining priorities based on business needs and the CEO's availability.
• Resolve scheduling conflicts independently whenever possible and identify matters requiring the CEO's direct attention.
• Anticipate scheduling needs and proactively protect time for important priorities, preparation, travel, and follow-up.
• Serve as a professional and responsive point of contact for the CEO with clients, partners, employees, vendors, networks, and other external stakeholders.

Travel & Logistics

• Independently evaluate and coordinate domestic and international travel, including flights, hotels, transportation, reservations, itineraries, and related logistics.
• Make appropriate travel and logistical decisions within established company guidelines.
• Anticipate potential conflicts or disruptions and identify solutions when appropriate.
• Prepare comprehensive itineraries and ensure the CEO has the schedules, contacts, materials, and information needed for each trip.

Communications & Follow-Through

• Help manage and prioritize incoming communications, correspondence, meeting requests, and matters requiring CEO attention.
• Exercise judgment in determining which matters require immediate involvement and which can be addressed, redirected, or scheduled appropriately.
• Draft, proofread, and prepare executive correspondence, presentations, meeting materials, and other business communications.
• Track commitments and action items and independently coordinate appropriate follow-up with internal and external stakeholders.
• Maintain awareness of outstanding priorities, deadlines, and commitments and proactively help keep them moving forward.

Executive Operations

• Develop a working understanding of Two River's clients, projects, productions, events, business development opportunities, and company priorities.
• Participate in appropriate internal meetings to maintain visibility into business priorities and upcoming needs.
• Assist in preparing the CEO for client presentations, pitches, RFPs, productions, events, and important meetings.
• Coordinate executive-level activities across Two River Pictures and Two River Events.
• Identify administrative or workflow issues affecting the CEO's effectiveness and recommend solutions or improved processes.
• Manage selected executive-office responsibilities and special projects with limited supervision.
• Maintain highly confidential client, employee, business, and financial information with discretion and sound judgment.

Administrative & Client Coordination

• Coordinate client meetings, business meals, industry events, company functions, and other engagements involving the CEO.
• Ensure meeting materials, background information, presentations, schedules, and logistics are prepared in advance.
• Review and organize executive expenses, invoices, receipts, and related documentation and help resolve discrepancies as needed.
• Maintain organized executive records, contacts, documents, and other business information.
• Handle routine administrative matters independently while escalating significant or unusual issues when appropriate.

What We're Looking For

A key expectation of this position is the ability to exercise good judgment without requiring direction on every task.

As you develop knowledge of the CEO and the business, you will be expected to distinguish between urgent and non-urgent matters, determine appropriate scheduling priorities, resolve routine conflicts, evaluate alternatives, recommend solutions, and recognize when an issue requires CEO involvement.

You are highly organized but adaptable. When something changes, your instinct is to understand the situation, evaluate the options, and determine how best to move forward.

You communicate professionally, follow through on commitments, protect confidential information, and are comfortable interacting with everyone from colleagues and vendors to senior executives and clients.

Most importantly, you have a strong sense of ownership. When you see something that needs attention, you take responsibility for helping move it forward.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in executive support, administration, project coordination, production coordination, event coordination, client services, or a related role.
• Experience in entertainment, television, media, production, advertising, experiential marketing, events, technology, or another fast-paced professional environment is preferred but not required.
• Excellent organizational, time-management, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and changing deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
• Good judgment and the ability to handle confidential and sensitive information appropriately.
• Ability to evaluate situations, identify options, and make reasonable decisions independently.
• Professional and confident interacting with clients, executives, creative professionals, production teams, vendors, and colleagues.
• Proactive, resourceful, and solution-oriented.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace and comfort using collaboration, project management, video conferencing, and AI-enabled productivity tools.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a small, entrepreneurial team.
• Flexibility to occasionally adjust working hours around important productions, events, travel, or client needs.

Growth Opportunity

Two River views this position as an opportunity for professional growth.

The successful candidate will initially focus on executive support and executive-office operations but will have the opportunity to assume greater responsibility as they demonstrate strong performance, judgment, and knowledge of the business.

Potential areas of growth may include executive operations, project coordination, client relations, production, events, business development support, and other areas aligned with the candidate's strengths and interests.

Performance, responsibilities, title, and compensation will be reviewed periodically as the position develops.

Work Environment & Compensation

This is a full-time position based in Two River's New Jersey Shore office. Because we operate in the entertainment, production, and live events industries, occasional flexibility may be required around productions, events, travel schedules, important client meetings, and other business needs.

The anticipated base salary range is $50,000–$55,000 annually, depending upon experience and qualifications.

The position offers the opportunity for increased responsibility, professional development, and compensation growth based on individual performance and the evolving needs of the company.

What Success Looks Like

Success means the CEO's time is thoughtfully managed, priorities are understood, meetings and travel run smoothly, commitments are followed through, and routine issues are resolved without requiring the CEO's involvement.

As the relationship develops, the Executive Assistant should become increasingly capable of anticipating needs, making appropriate decisions, and serving as a trusted resource to the CEO.

Ultimately, success in this role isn't simply about managing the CEO's schedule—it's about helping the CEO and the organization operate more effectively.
