Executive Operations Assistant

Executive Operations Assistant to the COO

Home Surplus is a multi-location retail warehouse superstore for cabinets, doors, and more, featuring in-stock products, expert design, and outstanding customer service at value prices.

After operating as a single location for over 60 years, Home Surplus has expanded to five stores in New Jersey and Maryland in recent years as it grows into a national footprint.

This is not a traditional Executive Assistant position.

While the role includes administrative and coordination responsibilities, it is designed for someone who wants broad exposure to operations, systems, reporting, leadership, and business decision-making within a growing company.

The Assistant serves as a highly trusted extension of the COO in a growing, operationally complex company.

The position requires someone who can quickly learn the business, build credibility throughout the organization, and operate as the COO’s eyes and ears at times.

The Assistant will help drive accountability, track priorities, coordinate follow-up, gather operational information, reduce bottlenecks, improve follow-through and represent the COO professionally in certain meetings, store visits, and operational discussions when appropriate.

This individual must be highly organized, proactive, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift frequently, and many responsibilities overlap.

Over time, the right person will develop a deep understanding of the business and become a trusted operational partner capable of identifying issues early, escalating concerns appropriately, and helping improve organizational execution.
