About the Role
The Executive Assistant will serve as an essential partner to the CEO.
From managing their calendar and travel to submitting their expenses, this highly organized, endlessly resourceful person will ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
We're looking for a go-getter who is eager to be flexible and available.

This is a unique EA role as you'll gain visibility into key initiatives and projects across the business.
What you will accomplish:
Expertly manage day-to-day scheduling, coordination, and meeting logistics, providing best in class support to the CEO throughout their back-to-back days; often with little oversight and making judgements based on known priorities of the CEO and the business
Anticipate needs and identify problems proactively, looking around corners for solutions and leveraging existing resources in problem solving
Ensure CEO is prepared for professional meetings and professional events, by soliciting agendas, drafting prep docs, creating itineraries, making reservations, printing material, and doing whatever it takes to ensure effective preparation
Manage expense reports and ensuring approvals are completed on time each month
