We are dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests and providing transformative career opportunities for our team members. Job Summary: We are seeking a motivated Executive Assistant to join our team in Greenwood Village, Colorado! This role is the strategic right hand to two C-suite executives — the Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Information Officer whose functions increasingly intersect on revenue, distribution, digital, and technology-enabled guest experience initiatives. We're looking for a highly functioning, self-directed professional who anticipates needs before being asked, exercises sound judgment under ambiguity and operates as a trusted extension of both executives. This is not a purely clerical role: it requires someone who can manage complexity across two fast-moving departments, protect executive time and focus, and represent both offices with polish and discretion. Our office environment requires 5 days per week in the office. Responsibilities Executive Calendar, Travel & Priority Management Proactively manage complex, often-competing calendars for the CCO and CIO, resolving conflicts and prioritizing based on business impact — not just first-come, first-served. Anticipate scheduling needs around board meetings, budget cycles, and property visits; build in prep and travel-buffer time. Coordinate complex domestic and international travel itineraries, adjusting in real time as plans shift. Prepare, reconcile, and submit expense reports with a high degree of accuracy and minimal oversight. Communication & Stakeholder Coordination Serve as a professional first point of contact for both offices, screening and triaging inquiries from senior leaders, and external partners. Draft, proofread, and manage correspondence on behalf of both executives, matching tone and intent. Track commitments and follow-ups made in meetings, keeping both executives ahead of deadlines. Build and maintain relationships across the Commercial and Technology organizations to keep information flowing smoothly between the two offices. Meeting & Project Support Own end-to-end logistics for leadership meetings, offsites, and department summits — venue, catering, A/V, materials, and on-site execution. Track action items and deliverables across cross-functional Commercial and Technology initiatives, flagging risks to timelines proactively. Prepare agendas and briefing materials in advance so both executives walk into meetings well prepared. Presentations, Reporting & Documentation Coordinate building polished, board- and executive-ready PowerPoint presentations, translating rough notes or bullet points into a clear, professional narrative. Maintain and organize Excel-based tracking tools, dashboards, and reports for both departments. Manage version control and edits on shared decks and documents, ensuring a single source of truth. Confidentiality, Discretion & Judgment Regularly handle sensitive commercial and technology information — competitive strategy, personnel matters, budget data, board materials with absolute discretion. Use independent judgment to determine what warrants immediate executive attention versus what can be handled directly or delegated. Qualifications 5+ years supporting C-suite or senior executives, ideally across more than one function or department simultaneously. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Copilot and other AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude; comfortable picking up new tools and platforms quickly. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong judgment on tone for different audiences (board, executive, vendor). Demonstrated ability to manage multiple, shifting priorities across two demanding executives without dropping details. Experience supporting a technology or commercial/marketing function is a plus but not required. The Ideal Candididate is: A true self-starter who identifies what needs to happen and does it without waiting to be asked. Proactive rather than reactive, consistently a step ahead of both executives' needs. High functioning under pressure, calm and organized when priorities shift quickly. Resourceful and solution-oriented, comfortable making decisions in ambiguous situations. Discreet and trustworthy, with unquestionable judgment around confidential information. Collaborative, building genuine working relationships across two distinct department cultures. Compensation: The wage range is $28 - $35 per hour depending on experience. Benefits: For full-time employees, Xanterra offers a comprehensive benefits package including: Medical, Dental & Vision; HSA & FSA; Life & Disability; Accident, Hospital & Critical Illness; Pet Insurance; PTO and paid Holidays; 401(k) with Company Match; Employee Assistance Plan; Education Assistance; RTD-Denver transit pass for in-office employees, and Employee Discounts & Travel Deals.
