  • Prepare daily executive briefings, including meeting context, decision points, collaborator insights, and background materials to ensure the CSO is fully equipped for every meeting.
  • Coordinate complex domestic and international travel, including detailed itineraries, logistics, and expense management.

Communications & Organizational Excellence

  • Represent the CSO with integrity and executive presence in interactions with senior leaders, partners, and external collaborators.
  • Cultivate trust-grounded bonds rapidly across a broad, matrixed organization to impact results and streamline workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with the Chief of Staff and OCSO leadership to sustain operating rhythm and assist in carrying out key initiatives.

  • Outstanding attention to detail and accuracy, with proven capability to handle complex scheduling and executive workflows seamlessly.
  • Excellent judgment, discretion, and integrity when handling highly sensitive and confidential information.
  • Proven ability to anticipate needs, think several steps ahead, and operate proactively without close supervision.
