Support the Team. Protect the Process. Keep Operations Running Smoothly.

M. Hudson Design is seeking a highly organized, dependable Administrative Assistant to support company operations and leadership. This role is critical to the internal functioning of the business, handling essential administrative, HR, and operational tasks that allow the owner and team to stay focused on growth, projects, and execution.

This position is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, discreet, and proactive, and who takes pride in managing behind-the-scenes responsibilities such as payroll support, HR administration, employee onboarding and offboarding, insurance renewals, and executive calendar and email management. This is a non-client-facing role focused entirely on internal systems, processes, and team support.

M. Hudson Design is a rapidly growing, high-end residential landscape design and construction management firm serving South Florida. With over 25 years of professional design experience, the company is known for delivering thoughtful, refined outdoor environments through strong leadership, clear processes, and disciplined execution.
