Executive Apprentice to the CEO

Magnus Capital Partners | Grand Rapids, MI (Relocation Supported)

Magnus Capital Partners is a real estate development firm focused on workforce housing, employer partnerships, and impact-driven capital.

We are seeking a high-potential individual to work directly with the CEO in a three-year Executive Apprentice program. This is an intensive, high-exposure role designed to accelerate your career through direct involvement in strategy, deal execution, and leadership.

Role Overview (Year 1 – Execution Focus)

You will be responsible for ensuring the CEO operates at maximum effectiveness. This requires precision, responsiveness, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing the CEO for meetings with clear context, materials, and defined objectives
• Tracking and driving follow-ups across deals, partnerships, and internal initiatives
• Coordinating internal and external communications with professionalism and clarity
• Supporting preparation of presentations, materials, and deal-related workstreams
• Ensuring nothing falls through the cracks in a fast-moving environment

Success in this role requires the ability to move quickly, think critically, and take ownership without being prompted.

What This Role Becomes (Years 2–3)

Top performers will earn increased responsibility and exposure, including:

• Ownership of internal projects and cross-functional initiatives
• Direct exposure to deal flow, partnerships, and capital relationships
• Participation in meetings with senior stakeholders and external partners
• A clear pathway into roles across development, partnerships, or operations
