About the Role: As Executive Assistant, you will provide reliable, well-organized executive support that enables the SVP to focus time and energy where it matters most. Requirements are targeted: calendar and travel management, coordination with ELT-level EAs across the organization, and ensuring in-person engagements — meetings, and off-sites — are set up and run seamlessly. The role carries inherent exposure to highly confidential information, which requires consistent discretion and professional judgement. As Chief of Staff Associate, you will work directly with the VP, Business Operations and Chief of Staff (CoS) You will be a genuine thought partner: given minimal context, you will be expected to build out, complete, and in some cases own work that would otherwise sit with the CoS.

Handle confidential communications and correspondence with the professionalism and discretion expected at SVP level which may include acting with imperfect or no information. Chief of Staff Associate Support Support CoS on range of strategic and operational priorities by building out details and driving execution across the BU. Develop an understanding of the BU strategic framework and use this context to sharpen your own outputs and anticipate needs. Receive briefs, incomplete drafts, or minimal context and translate them into polished, audience-ready outputs with limited follow-up. Support preparation of communications, briefing notes, presentations, and strategic documents for the SVP, AIDA leadership, and broader Wiley stakeholders. Assist with tracking and monitoring key priorities, actions, and commitments across the business units’ portfolio. Coordinate preparation for key governance rhythms (e.g. including leadership team meetings, off-sites, and operating reviews) covering logistics, pre-reads, and follow-up actions. Over time, take on increasing ownership of CoS workstreams as trust and capability develop. Required Qualifications: Proven experience supporting a senior executive at SVP or C-suite level, including complex calendar and travel management, in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and changing environment.

Analytical and structured thinking: able to take ambiguous input and produce clear, logical output. Confident working with minimal direction and completing tasks without step-by-step guidance. Proven ability to build strong working relationships with senior stakeholders and peer coordinators.
