Position Overview
Jennifer is a wife, a mother to 3 boys ages 3-18, the owner and CEO of Enrollment Builders, and the new owner of Briar Hill Stables horse farm.
We are searching for an Executive Assistant, a co-pilot, to help her reach her goals so that she can help others reach theirs. This is an on-site position on a horse farm in Lexington, Kentucky. We must admit, the view from the office isn’t bad!

No two days will be the same in this role. You’ll be supporting a new horse business, an established higher education services business, AND an active family. We have a great team, and we work hard to build a culture of performance, work-life balance, and belonging. We’re growing rapidly and most days, you’ll have to adapt quickly, react decisively, and pick up important tasks you didn’t expect. If you are the kind of person who is excited by change, interested in helping nurture growing companies, and enjoy diving in to do what needs to get done, then this might be for you!
If all this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
