Plan and execute logistics for executive and leadership meetings: agendas, materials, room setup, catering, and technology
-
Track commitments and action items from executive meetings and coordinate follow-through with the appropriate team members
-
Coordinates collection and preparation of operating reports, such as budget expenditures, and statistical records of performance data
-
Screen, prioritize, and route incoming requests, correspondence, and inquiries, using judgment on what requires the executive’s attention and what can be handled directly or redirected
-
Interact with high-level internal and external contacts with professionalism, tact, and discretion
-
In the executive’s absence, ensure requests for action or information are relayed promptly to the appropriate staff member
-
Prepare, format, and proof correspondence, reports, and presentations for executive review
-
Handle sensitive business and personnel information with strict confidentiality at all times

-
Demonstrated experience coordinating complex travel and managing expense reporting
-
Exceptional judgment, discretion, and ability to maintain confidentiality on executive-level matters
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the polish to interact credibly with senior leaders and external partners
-
Proven ability to anticipate needs, manage conflicting priorities, and work independently in a fast-paced environment
-
High attention to detail, organization, and professionalism
