Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO
EverNorth Marine Group | Richmond, BC
$80,000–$120,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications, plus benefits | Full time | Primarily onsite
Your ability to see what’s coming can change how a CEO leads.
You see the scheduling conflict before it happens. You know which conversation needs attention, which detail could change a decision, and when a thoughtful follow-up will keep something important moving.
You take pride in making a demanding day run smoothly - and in earning the trust that allows you to make a meaningful contribution.
At EverNorth Marine Group, those capabilities will put you at the centre of a growing West Coast business.
LiftPoint Advisory is partnering with EverNorth to find an experienced Senior Executive Assistant to support President and CEO Tony Fadyeyev. This is an opportunity to build a close working partnership, take ownership of the executive office, and help a leader stay focused through an exciting period of growth.
A West Coast story. A new chapter.
EverNorth’s roots reach back more than a century, to the Hodder family’s early towing work along the Fraser River. Today, the business supports industries and communities across British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, moving the materials that help keep the region working.
Following Hodder’s acquisition of Seaspan’s former General Towing business in June 2026, the launch of EverNorth marked a significant new chapter.
Behind the executive agenda are vessels on the water, skilled crews, longstanding customer relationships, and a business with a tangible connection to life on the coast. Your work will help bring clarity, coordination, and momentum to that organization.
The partnership you’ll build
Personable, intelligent, and ambitious for the business, Tony values trusted relationships and a long-term perspective. He is looking for someone who will learn how he works, understand his priorities, and become a reliable partner in turning commitments into action.
You’ll bring sound judgment, clear communication, and the confidence to protect his time with diplomacy. As trust and your understanding of the business develop, there is room for your contribution and responsibilities to grow.
Where you’ll make your mark
- Create room for the right priorities. Own a complex calendar, anticipate competing demands, and build in time for preparation, travel, and focused work.
- Keep commitments moving. Track decisions, deadlines, and delegated actions, following through with colleagues and external partners.
- Make preparation count. Coordinate meetings and complex travel, research key topics, and prepare concise briefings, presentations, and supporting materials.
- Communicate with care. Manage incoming correspondence and draft polished emails, reports, and confidential communications on the CEO’s behalf.
- Build trusted connections. Work comfortably with employees, marine operations teams, customers, executives, and legal and financial advisers.
- Bring ideas into practice. Coordinate special projects and events, improve administrative systems, and represent the CEO at selected engagements when authorized.
- Handle the details that matter. Manage confidential records, expenses, purchases, and occasional personal arrangements or errands with discretion.
What you bring
You have demonstrated experience supporting a senior executive, business owner, or similarly demanding leader. You understand the responsibility that comes with access to sensitive information, and people trust both your judgment and your follow-through.
You also bring:
- Proven experience managing complex calendars, travel, meetings, and special projects.
- Strong writing and editing skills, including executive correspondence, briefings, and presentations.
- Composure when priorities shift and the initiative to resolve issues within your authority.
- The confidence to ask thoughtful questions, reinforce priorities, and recognize when something needs the CEO’s attention.
- Strong proficiency with email, calendars, documents, spreadsheets, and presentation tools.
- A valid driver’s licence and reliable access to a vehicle.
Marine, transportation, industrial, or operational experience would be an asset, as would confidence delivering prepared remarks at selected engagements. We welcome candidates from varied professional backgrounds; demonstrated capability and judgment carry more weight than a particular educational credential.
Why this opportunity stands out
You’ll have meaningful responsibility, direct exposure to executive decision-making, and the opportunity to see the practical results of your work. For an experienced EA who enjoys ownership, variety, and building a lasting professional partnership, this role offers room to contribute and grow alongside the business.
The position is primarily onsite in Richmond. Some local travel, occasional personal support, and flexibility outside regular business hours may be required.
