Responsibilities

You solve problems before anyone knows that a problem exists! As a dynamic, driven Executive Assistant (EA) you’ll work with little direction to support our CEO, President, Managing Director, and Chief of Staff.

Additionally, you will be responsible for working with the Chief of Staff regarding staff needs such as coordinating logistics for internal team events and/or in-person client meetings/functions, ordering supplies, tracking and facilitating team milestones (birthdays, work anniversaries, etc.), and other duties as assigned. 

You will work directly with the CEO to assist in the prioritization of client deliverables and meetings for which he must be engaged, including building out a reminder cadence that allows him to meet deliverables.
