Executive Assistant

Job Description

Job Description

Role Summary
Our client is looking for a highly organized, execution-driven Executive Assistant to act as the right hand to senior leadership. This is not a traditional EA role. You will be responsible for ensuring that priorities move forward, follow-ups are completed, reporting is accurate, and nothing falls through the cracks across operations, sales, and partner relationships. If your strength is scheduling meetings and waiting for direction, this role is not for you. If you naturally take ownership, chase outcomes, and bring structure to chaos, you will thrive here.

Schedule: Onsite/Hybrid
Salary Range: $75,000 - $85,000 USD/Annually

• Identify discrepancies and flag issues proactively
• Ensure leadership always has accurate, up-to-date data
• Prepare agendas, materials, and context for key meetings
• Capture action items and ensure accountability post-meeting
• Coordinate across internal and external stakeholders
• Support onboarding of new partners
• Track applications, submissions, and progress
• Assist in maintaining strong communication flow across relationships
• Help streamline processes and reduce inefficiencies
• Assist with internal alignment (sales, ops, leadership)
• Step in wherever execution gaps exist
  

Qualifications

• Follow-through with a proven ability to drive tasks and projects through to completion
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability across all areas of responsibility
• Exceptional attention to detail, ensuring high standards of accuracy and quality
• Highly organized and structured thinker, able to bring clarity to complex situations
• Tech-savvy with experience leveraging AI and automation tools to improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and enhance operational processes
• Proficiency in platforms and systems including AI tools, Constant Contact, Asana, Microsoft Office Suite, and industry-specific software such as SmartOffice
• Experience supporting marketing campaigns, promotional initiatives, and live or virtual events through content coordination, logistics, audience engagement, and execution
• Strong organizational, communication, and project coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, support timelines, and keep initiatives moving efficiently in fast-paced environments
  

Experience:

• 2–5+ years in operations, EA, or coordination role with ownership
• Experience managing tasks, reporting, or workflows
• Strong with tools (Excel/Sheets, CRM, task managers)
