Position Summary

The Executive Assistant to the President is the primary administrative and operational support for the President, including Legal, Compliance, Grants, Project Management, Data, Performance Improvement, and IT.

The Executive Assistant to the President anticipates needs, makes judgment calls on shifting priorities, owns logistics end-to-end for strategic meetings and events, and represents leadership in communications across the organization and with external partners. Because the supported departments do not have their own dedicated coordinators, this person must move fluidly between executive support and department-level coordination.

• Experience planning and executing complex meetings, retreats, or events end-to-end.
• Familiarity with expense management systems.
• Familiarity with Power BI or other reporting tools preferred.
• Healthcare or behavioral health industry experience preferred.
• Experience supporting board-level activities or governance work preferred.
• Extreme attention to detail and consistent follow-through.
• Discretion and reliability handling confidential information.
• Belief in the mission and vision of Rosecrance.
