You will understand leader and team priorities, demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate needs, and drive improvements that build capacity for the leadership team.

Experience hiring and developing EAs is required. You must operate as part of the broader Accounting EA team, building effective relationships with peers, stakeholders, and partners inside and outside the group while maintaining a comprehensive knowledge of business objectives to support team and org-wide goals. A thorough grasp of organizational procedures and best practices that drive operational efficiency is essential. This role requires five (5) days a week in office. Candidates should expect to travel 2-4 times per year.

Key job responsibilities include complex calendar management and coordination for high-level internal meetings and external speaking engagements, seamlessly managing detailed domestic and international travel itineraries, as well as expense reporting, tracking and helping drive completion of key deliverables and follow up on action items on behalf of the leadership team, partnering closely with the leadership team, key business partners, and team EAs to provide holistic support to the organization, including annual rhythm-of-the-business planning, and owning/overseeing morale/team building activities.
