Executive Assistant

Executive Administrative Assistant

Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, anticipate needs before they arise, and bring calm, structure, and focus to even the most complex situations? If you're equally skilled at managing executive priorities, creating polished presentations, and serving as a trusted partner to senior leaders, we want to meet you.

We are seeking a highly capable Executive Administrative Assistant to support our Vice President of People and the broader People Team. This is far more than a traditional administrative role. You'll serve as a strategic partner, helping drive priorities forward, coordinating critical initiatives, and ensuring our People function operates at its highest level.

The ideal candidate combines executive-level administrative expertise with strong business acumen, exceptional organizational skills, and advanced technical capabilities. You are proactive, resourceful, and adaptable, with the ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality.
