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.

Executive Support

• 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.

• 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.

• Demonstrated professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment.

Preferred
