Sr. Executive Assistant (Jewish Philanthropy; C-Suite Level)

This is not your typical Executive Assistant role….

We’re partnering with a highly respected, values-driven philanthropic foundation with a strong presence in Jewish communal life and grantmaking. The Founder is a visionary leader, deeply engaged in both strategic philanthropy and community impact, and is seeking a true right hand.

If you’re a top-tier executive administrative professional who thrives in fast-moving, high-trust environments… who anticipates needs before they’re spoken… who can toggle seamlessly between logistics and strategy… this may be your role!

What You’ll Actually Do

You’ll work directly with the President/Chairman of the Board and collaborate closely with a small group of dynamic, next-generation trustees. This is a highly visible, high-impact role where no two days look the same.

• Own complex calendar management across personal, professional, and philanthropic priorities
• Orchestrate high-level meetings, travel, and events with precision and discretion
• Act as a gatekeeper and thought partner, prioritizing what matters most
• Support board and trustee engagement efforts behind the scenes
• Manage discretionary giving to various organizations and coordinate these grants as determined by trustees
• Coordinate marketing and communications logistics, and help plan and execute high-touch events and convenings – from intimate gatherings to larger foundation initiatives
• Keep the engine running smoothly: follow-ups, coordination, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks

What Makes This Different

You’ll be embedded in meaningful philanthropic work, with exposure to influential leaders, ideas, and initiatives shaping the Jewish community and beyond. The environment is entrepreneurial, relationship-driven, and deeply mission-oriented.

This role is fully onsite in the Bethesda, MD area, and is ideal for someone who values in-person collaboration, real-time access, and being closely connected to the day-to-day flow of leadership.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Have experience supporting a C-suite executive, founder, or principal in a high-demand environment
• Are exceptionally organized, but also intuitive and forward-thinking
• Bring polish, discretion, and sound judgment in every interaction
• Are energized by people, purpose, and fast-paced work
• Have a connection to or understanding of Jewish community, values, or philanthropy
• Know how to balance warmth with professionalism; you can read a room and adjust accordingly
• Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred

Why This Role

You’ll work closely with key leadership who value loyalty, trust, and excellence, while supporting a group of engaged, thoughtful trustees who are shaping the future of the foundation’s work.

It’s an opportunity to step into a role where your impact is immediate, visible, and meaningful.

If you’re looking for a unique executive support role where mission and excellence go hand in hand, we’d love to hear from you!

A Note on Culture Fit : A strong connection to the Jewish community – personally and/or professionally – is highly valued for this role.
