Executive Assistant to the CEO

About Us

American Wire Works has been manufacturing and supplying industrial wire products, spools, and carriers for more than 80 years. We’re a small but fast-growing company with deep roots in American manufacturing and a clear vision for the future. We support industries that build and power the country — from aerospace and defense to heavy industry and infrastructure.

We’re building momentum, expanding operations, and need someone who can help keep things organized, moving, and on track as we grow.

About the Role

This is a part-time (around 20 hours/week) position working directly with the CEO to help manage the details that make growth possible. The role is broad and entrepreneurial — part executive assistant, part project coordinator, part problem solver.

If you like variety, thrive in fast-paced environments, and take pride in “making it happen,” you’ll fit right in. You’ll be part of a small, committed team where no day is quite the same and every contribution makes a visible difference.

What You’ll Do

• Manage the CEO’s calendar, inbox, and communications, prioritizing what’s most important and ensuring timely follow-up.
• Draft, proof, and send professional correspondence with customers, vendors, and internal partners.
• Coordinate meetings, calls, and travel — internal, customer, and vendor related.
• Prepare and edit documents, presentations, and communications for customers, partners, and team members.
• Help organize projects, track deliverables, and follow up to ensure things get done.
• Keep digital and physical files organized and accessible.
• Pitch in on general administrative and operations tasks — whatever needs doing to help the company run smoothly.
• Bring a positive, proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who’s organized, reliable, and able to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball.
• A strong communicator who’s comfortable managing emails, calendars, and follow-ups on behalf of leadership.
• A self-starter who doesn’t wait to be told what to do — you see what’s needed and make it happen.
• Comfortable with Microsoft 365, Teams, and general office tools.
• Prior experience supporting a small business, founder, or executive preferred (manufacturing experience is a plus, but not required).
• Discretion, professionalism, and trustworthiness are must-haves.

• Location: Greater Philadelphia, PA
• Compensation: Commensurate with experience
