The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate combines the organizational excellence of an Executive Assistant, the leadership and accountability of a Chief of Staff, and the resourcefulness of an experienced Office Manager.

They are proactive rather than reactive, confident without being overbearing, discreet, highly organized, technologically savvy, and capable of operating effectively in a demanding, constantly changing environment.

They understand the importance of protecting the CEO's time while simultaneously ensuring that administrative staff are productive, office operations run smoothly, business opportunities receive proper attention, and important assignments are completed.

They are equally comfortable coordinating a personal appointment, managing an executive calendar, directing administrative personnel, following up with department heads, or resolving an urgent office issue.

Above all, we are seeking someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs, and gets things done without requiring repeated reminders.
