Senior Executive Assistant

Job Description

As Senior Executive Assistant, you will provide high-level support to the CEO, COO, and Chief Engineer, helping three senior executives operate effectively in a fast-paced and highly dynamic environment. You will own complex calendar management, meeting coordination, travel and logistics, executive preparation, communications, and day-to-day prioritization while anticipating conflicts and solving problems before they become distractions. This role requires far more than strong administrative skills. You will be expected to understand each executive's priorities, exercise sound judgment with limited direction, make quick decisions when plans change, and become a trusted extension of the leaders you support. You must also be highly comfortable with technology and able to independently set up and troubleshoot common executive meeting technology, conference-room systems, video calls, and both Windows and Mac environments.
