Executive Assistant

As the Executive Assistant to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer , you will serve as a trusted partner to the CEO, enabling the CEO to operate with maximum effectiveness across a complex, fast-paced global organization.

This is far more than a traditional administrative role. You will operate at the center of the enterprise, interacting regularly with the Board of Directors, Executive Leadership Team, senior leaders, customers, investors, external partners, and other key stakeholders. You will anticipate needs, expertly manage competing priorities, protect the CEO's time, and ensure critical commitments move from discussion to action.

Success requires exceptional judgment, discretion, executive presence, attention to detail, and the ability to remain composed and solutions-oriented while priorities change rapidly.

• Prepare the CEO for critical meetings and engagements by proactively gathering relevant context, synthesizing information, identifying outstanding decisions, and ensuring materials are accurate, timely, and decision-ready.
• Act as a highly professional point of connection for the Office of the CEO , building trusted relationships with directors, senior executives, employees, customers, investors, government and community representatives, and external partners.
• Manage incoming requests and communications , independently determining priorities, facilitating appropriate responses, and escalating matters requiring the CEO's attention.
• Coordinate executive meetings, leadership events, customer engagements, and other high-profile activities , ensuring an outstanding experience from planning through execution.
• Manage administrative processes with precision , including expense reporting, invoices, purchase orders, records, approvals, memberships, correspondence, and other CEO office responsibilities.
