Job Title:
Executive Assistant to the CEO (The Ultimate "Right-Hand" & Problem Solver)
Company:
SKS Holdings & Companies /
Coffee Republic Location:
Hybrid Charlotte Area Job Type:
Full-Time The Vibe:
At SKS Holdings, we don't do boring. We are the driving force behind Coffee Republic—a rapidly growing, 10-location anti-snob coffee brand that celebrates pop art, weirdness, and incredible café experiences. We also run our own in-house roasting operation (Disco Roasters), a killer food program, and we are in the process of launching a brand-new 501(c)(3) non-profit to give back to the communities we love. Our CEO has a lot of irons in the fire, and our growth is explosive. To keep up with this momentum, we need a hyper-competent, intensely organized, "jack of all trades" to step in as the CEO's ultimate right hand.
The Gig:
We are looking for a true business partner in the form of an Executive Assistant. You won't just be answering emails and booking flights (though you'll do that, too). You will be crossing the boundaries of operations, marketing, project management, and more! One minute you might be liaising with our F&B operations team about supply chain issues, the next you'll be reviewing marketing copy for a new Coffee Republic campaign, and by the afternoon, you'll be helping build the foundational structure for our new non-profit. If you thrive in a fast-paced, multi-faceted environment and know how to bring order to entrepreneurial chaos, you are exactly who we are looking for.
What You'll Be Doing Executive Support & Gatekeeping:
Manage the CEO's complex calendar, prioritize the inbox, book travel, and act as the first line of defense so the CEO can focus on big-picture growth.
F&B Operations Liaison:
Tap into your hospitality background to help streamline operations. You'll follow up with store managers, track operational KPIs, and assist with vendor/supplier communications across our cafes and roasting facility.
Marketing Muscle:
Work directly with the CEO and our creative team (including our Content Creators) to execute marketing strategies, manage PR requests, and keep brand initiatives moving forward.
Non-Profit Development:
Play a ground-level role in launching our 501(c)(3). You'll help with administrative setup, community outreach, event planning, and coordinating board meetings. Project Management & "Everything in Between": Research new market locations, handle ad-hoc personal tasks, prepare pitch decks, and put out whatever fires pop up on any given day. What You Bring to the Table The Ultimate "Jack of All Trades": You are fiercely adaptable. You can seamlessly pivot from reviewing a financial spreadsheet to brainstorming a social media campaign without missing a beat. F&B /
Hospitality Experience:
You have a background in Food & Beverage operations. You understand the unique chaos, margins, and operational demands of the restaurant/café industry.
Business & Marketing Acumen:
You aren't just taking notes; you understand business strategy, marketing basics, and how to speak the language of entrepreneurs.
Relentless Organization:
You have borderline obsessive attention to detail. Nothing slips through the cracks on your watch.
Proactive Problem Solving:
You don't wait to be told what to do. You anticipate the CEO's needs, identify roadblocks before they happen, and bring solutions, not just problems.
Tech Savvy:
Proficient in AI, Google Workspace, project management tools , and comfortable picking up new software quickly. The Perks A Seat at the
Table:
This is a front-row seat to building a coffee empire and a meaningful non-profit. You will learn, grow, and have a massive impact.
Endless Caffeine:
All the coffee you can drink and major discounts across Coffee Republics.
Unmatched Culture:
Join a passionate, quirky, and driven team that actually enjoys working together.
