  • Manage and maintain a busy executive calendar, including scheduling, meeting coordination, and resolving scheduling conflicts.
  • Evaluate competing priorities and use sound judgment when determining how to organize the executive's time.
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel, including flights, hotels, transportation, itineraries, and last-minute adjustments.
  • Arrange meals, events, and other logistics associated with executive travel and meetings as needed.
  • Organize receipts and assist with submitting and reconciling executive expenses.
  • Utilize an expense management system to support timely and accurate expense reporting.
  • Assist with meeting preparation by gathering requested information, profiles, and supporting materials.
  • Serve as a professional point of contact with internal and external stakeholders when appropriate.
  • Handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Anticipate the executive's needs and proactively address administrative priorities.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • Previous experience providing direct support to a senior-level executive.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage a complex and fast-moving executive calendar.
  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills with the ability to manage multiple competing requests.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment.
  • Ability to work independently and take initiative without extensive direction.
  • Stable professional work history with demonstrated longevity in previous positions.

  • Tuesday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM.
  • Assignment is expected to last 1–3+ months, with potential for extension.
  • Early October start date anticipated.
  • Interview process will consist of one virtual interview, with a potential onsite meeting depending on the final selection process.
  • Parking is available.
  • This role is best suited for an experienced Executive Assistant who enjoys high-level administrative support rather than someone looking to transition into program or project-focused work.
  • Candidates with frequent short-term positions may not be the best fit for this opportunity.


Perks:

  • Hybrid schedule
  • Consistent 3-day workweek
  • Competitive $60 / hour compensation
  • Opportunity to support a senior-level executive
