About the Role  

Do you have experience supporting executives as an admin or assistant? Are you ready to join a fast-paced, growing company where you can make a significant impact? 

Green Cabbage is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful Executive Assistant to support some members of our executive leadership team. This role requires exceptional judgment, discretion, and the ability to anticipate needs in a fast-paced environment. 

The ideal candidate is a master of prioritization, thrives on solving problems before they arise, and can seamlessly manage competing demands while maintaining professionalism and confidentiality. 

Key Responsibilities:  

Executive Support  

• Serve as an extension of executive leadership, making decisions on their behalf when appropriate and ensuring continuity in fast-moving situations. 

• Bring structure to ambiguity by organizing loosely defined ideas into actionable plans, timelines, and deliverables. 

• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or risks and take initiative to propose and implement solutions. 

• Quickly assess changing circumstances and adjust plans, schedules, or communications accordingly. 

• Handle last-minute changes, urgent requests, and shifting priorities with composure and adaptability. 

• Build strong relationships across all levels of the organization to drive alignment and collaboration. 

• Ensure key stakeholders are informed, prepared, and aligned ahead of critical meetings and decisions. 

• Approach challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset rather than escalation-first thinking. 

• Independently manage priorities and workload without needing constant direction. 

• Continuously seek opportunities to improve how executives and teams operate. 

• Represent executive leadership with credibility and discretion across all communications and interactions. 

• Manage complex calendars, scheduling, and prioritization for executive leadership. 

• Coordinate internal and external meetings, including logistics, agendas, materials, and follow-up actions. 

• Screen and prioritize communications, ensuring timely responses and follow-through. 

• Prepare presentations, reports, correspondence, and other business documents. 

• Track action items and strategic initiatives to ensure deadlines and commitments are met. 

Meeting & Event Coordination  

• Organize leadership meetings, team gatherings, board meetings, and company events. 

• Coordinate travel arrangements, including flights, accommodations, transportation, and itineraries (will be assisted by Amex GBT). 

• Manage meeting logistics, catering, conference rooms, and virtual meeting platforms. 

Office & Administrative Operations  

• Support day-to-day office operations and administrative functions. 

• Manage office vendors, supplies, and facilities-related needs. 

• Assist with onboarding activities and employee engagement initiatives. 

Project Management  

• Support cross-functional projects and special initiatives on behalf of leadership. 

• Conduct research and gather information to support business decisions. 

• Help improve administrative processes and identify opportunities for greater efficiency. 

• Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to ensure projects remain on track. 

Confidentiality & Professionalism  

• Handle sensitive business and personnel information with the highest level of discretion. 

• Serve as a trusted representative of executive leadership in interactions with employees, customers, investors, and partners. 

 

Qualifications:  

Required  

• 3+ years of experience supporting senior executives or leadership teams with proactive support, not just specific task assignment.

• Exceptional organizational and time management skills. 

• Strong written and verbal communication abilities. 

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing business needs. 

• Demonstrated professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment. 

Preferred  

• Experience supporting C-level executives in a high-growth or scale up environment. 

• Experience coordinating company events and executive travel. 

• Familiarity with project management tools and collaboration platforms. 

• Technology industry experience. 

Success Traits  

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability. 

• Highly adaptable with a sense of humor and the ability to stay grounded in a fast-paced environment. 

• Brings energy, personality, and authenticity to the workplace; someone who is professional yet approachable and enjoys building relationships.

• Proactive and solutions focused. 

• Able to work independently with minimal direction. 

• Comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-changing environment. 

• Positive, collaborative, and service-oriented mindset.
