- Serve as a responsive point of contact for internal teams, external stakeholders, vendors, and service providers, communicating with professionalism and discretion.
- Manage confidential, sensitive, and personal administrative matters with exceptional judgment and attention to detail.
- Establish and maintain efficient systems, routines, and organizational processes that support the executive’s workflow and priorities.
- Oversee follow-ups, track outstanding items, and ensure important details and commitments are handled promptly and accurately.
- Assist with personal administrative responsibilities, including appointment scheduling, light errands, and ad hoc projects as needed.
- Navigate shifting priorities, urgent requests, and unexpected changes with composure, sound judgment, and a solutions-oriented approach.
- Take ownership of administrative projects and responsibilities from initiation through completion, operating independently with minimal supervision.
- Collaborate with the broader EA team and provide additional support to the executive leadership team when needed.
What We’re Looking For
- Significant experience supporting a CEO, founder, entrepreneur, or other senior executive in a high-level Executive Assistant capacity.
- Strong foundation in traditional executive support, particularly complex calendar management, domestic and international travel, and day-to-day executive operations.
- Proven ability to thrive in a demanding, fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly and responsiveness is essential.
- Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through, with the ability to manage multiple priorities without losing sight of the small things.
- Highly proactive and anticipatory, with the ability to recognize needs, think several steps ahead, and act independently.
- Excellent judgment, discretion, and professionalism when handling confidential business matters and personal responsibilities.
- Calm, composed, and resourceful under pressure, with the ability to make sound decisions and resolve issues efficiently.
