Sr. Executive Assistant

LHH

Senior Executive Assistant (High-Level Support)

A reputable, fast-paced organization is seeking a highly experienced Executive Assistant to support senior leadership in a true right-hand capacity. This role requires someone who has already demonstrated success operating in a demanding, executive-facing environment and can step in with confidence, discretion, and minimal direction.

This is not an entry-level or developmental EA role —we’re looking for a professional who is accustomed to managing complexity, anticipating needs, and partnering closely with leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide seamless, high-level support to senior executives with competing priorities
  • Own and manage complex, constantly shifting calendars with strategic foresight
  • Coordinate high-stakes meetings, leadership materials, and executive communications
  • Serve as a trusted gatekeeper and liaison across internal and external stakeholders
  • Handle confidential matters with sound judgment and professionalism
  • Manage detailed travel logistics and expense reporting with precision
  • Identify gaps, streamline processes, and proactively solve problems

Qualifications (Required)

  • 1+ years of experience in a true Executive Assistant role supporting senior leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
  • Proven track record of managing complex scheduling and executive priorities
  • Strong business judgment, discretion, and professionalism
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Clear, polished communication style
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent directly relevant executive support experience

Highly Preferred

  • Experience supporting multiple executives or C-suite leaders
  • Background in structured, corporate environments with high standards of professionalism
  • Longevity in prior EA roles demonstrating reliability and trust

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is best suited for an Executive Assistant who:

  • Has already owned an executive support function—not someone looking to grow into it
  • Is comfortable working with minimal oversight and high expectations
  • Takes initiative, anticipates needs, and thrives under pressure
  • Values professionalism, trust, and being a critical partner behind the scenes

If you’re a seasoned Executive Assistant who takes pride in operating at a high level—we’d love to connect.
