The Impact You will have in this role:

The Executive Assistant to the President of Clearing & Securities Services plays a pivotal role in enabling the executive to operate at maximum effectiveness within one of the world's most critical financial market infrastructure organizations. DTCC processes trillions of dollars in securities transactions daily, and this position sits at the center of a high-stakes, fast-moving, and globally connected leadership environment.

The ideal candidate is a proactive, solutions-oriented professional with deep experience supporting C-suite or senior executives in complex financial services or regulated industries. This is not a reactive, task-execution role - it requires exceptional judgment, the ability to anticipate needs before they arise, and a genuine passion for building the operating systems that allow senior leaders to do their best work.

Executive Calendar & Schedule Management
• Own end-to-end calendar management for the President, exercising independent judgment to prioritize competing demands across internal and external stakeholders
• Maintain a structured briefing system ensuring the executive enters every meeting fully prepared with relevant context, background materials, and pre-read documents
• Proactively identify and resolve scheduling conflicts, often weeks in advance, protecting time for strategic priorities and focused work
• Coordinate complex multi-party meetings with regulators, global counterparties, board members, and senior industry stakeholders across time zones
• Manage cadence of recurring meetings (leadership team, board committees, town halls), including logistics, agenda development, and materials distribution

Organizational Systems & Process Excellence
• Design, implement, and continuously refine organizational systems that enhance the executive's productivity and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Maintain a rigorous action-item and follow-up tracking system, monitoring commitments made by and to the executive across all forums and meetings
• Develop and manage a structured filing and document management system for correspondence, agreements, board materials, and regulatory communications
• Build and maintain a stakeholder relationship database capturing key contacts, interaction history, and relationship context to support the executive's engagement priorities
• Create and maintain standard operating procedures for recurring administrative processes, enabling consistency, continuity, and delegation
Interview note: Candidates will be asked to describe specific organizational systems they have personally designed, the problem each was built to solve, and measurable outcomes achieved.

International & Domestic Travel Management
• Manage complex, multi-leg international travel itineraries across multiple time zones, including Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas
• Maintain current working knowledge of visa requirements, entry documentation, and travel advisories for key markets including the UK, EU, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and other major DTCC jurisdictions
• Build and manage relationships with preferred travel vendors and corporate travel platforms to ensure seamless, policy-compliant executive travel
• Prepare comprehensive travel dossiers including itineraries, hotel details, meeting logistics, local contacts, emergency protocols, and relevant briefing context
• Anticipate and resolve travel disruptions in real time - including rebooking flights, securing alternative accommodations, and communicating changes to all affected parties
• Track and reconcile travel expenses, ensuring timely and accurate submission in accordance with DTCC policy

Communications & Correspondence
• Screen, triage, and respond to executive correspondence with appropriate judgment about escalation, urgency, and delegation
• Draft high-quality written communications on behalf of the executive, including correspondence to regulators, industry peers, board members, clients, and internal stakeholders
• Maintain strict confidentiality across all executive communications, including sensitive personnel, regulatory, and strategic matters
• Serve as a credible and professional point of contact representing the President to internal and external audiences at all levels

Event Planning & Executive Engagements
• Plan and execute executive-level events including leadership offsites, client dinners, industry receptions, town halls, team recognition events, and speaking engagements
• Manage all event logistics including venue selection, catering, AV requirements, run-of-show, seating arrangements, and attendee communications
• Support the executive's participation in industry conferences - including FIA, SIFMA, ISDA, and other relevant forums - coordinating registration, scheduling, briefing materials, and follow-up
• Coordinate client-facing and stakeholder entertainment in a manner consistent with DTCC's brand standards and compliance requirements
• Produce post-event recaps and follow-up task lists to ensure relationship continuity and commitment tracking

Financial & Administrative Operations
• Process and reconcile expense reports, vendor invoices, and procurement requests in accordance with DTCC policy and approval workflows
• Track relevant departmental budget items as assigned, flagging variances and supporting cost management processes
• Coordinate onboarding logistics for new senior leaders joining the division

**NOTE: The Primary Responsibilities of this role are not limited to the details above.

Talents needed for Success:

Required
• 10+ years of executive assistant experience supporting a C-suite, Managing Director, Division President, or equivalent senior executive, preferably in financial services, asset management, fintech, or a similarly regulated environment
• Demonstrated experience managing complex international travel, including direct working knowledge of visa and entry documentation requirements across major global jurisdictions
• Exceptional organizational skills with a verifiable track record of designing and building systems that measurably improve executive effectiveness
