We're looking for someone with the judgment, drive, curiosity, and maturity to learn quickly and become an increasingly valuable member of the team. Exceptional judgment and discretion. You understand the importance of confidentiality and can be trusted with sensitive business, executive, and personal information. Highly organized and detail oriented. You can manage multiple priorities, keep track of the details, and follow through without needing someone to remind you. A step-ahead mindset. You don't just wait to be told what to do.

You're comfortable figuring things out, changing direction when priorities shift, and tackling assignments you've never done before. An ownership mentality. If something needs attention, you're willing to take responsibility for it and see it through. No task is beneath you, and you're equally excited by opportunities to take on bigger challenges. Collaborative but independently driven. You enjoy working across teams and functions, while also being comfortable taking an assignment and running with it. Comfortable with technology and curious about what's next. You're proficient with Microsoft Office and everyday business technology and eager to use new tools, including AI-powered scheduling, workflow, and productivity tools, to work smarter and improve how things get done. Poised and professional. You're comfortable interacting with senior executives and external stakeholders and understand how to represent the Company well. Eager to learn and grow. You want to understand how the business works, learn the property and casualty insurance industry, build relationships throughout the organization, and grow into new opportunities over time. Flexible when it matters. You understand that supporting senior executives and a growing office occasionally requires availability outside normal business hours, including evenings or weekends. Ready to be part of the Seattle office. This is a fully onsite role in Seattle and is designed for someone who wants to be an active part of building the culture and experience of our new office Education and Experience: A bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience is preferred (experience gained through internships, campus leadership, customer-facing roles, project coordination, hospitality, administrative work, or other professional settings can all provide a strong foundation for this role.) Experience working in a corporate or professional environment is a plus, but prior insurance industry or Executive Assistant experience is not required. Most importantly, you've demonstrated initiative, sound judgment, personal accountability, and a desire to learn – and you're excited about the opportunity to build a long-term career with the Company. #J-18808-Ljbffr
