About the Role
You’re the force-multiplier for our executive bench—keeping calendars clean, travel airtight, meetings purposeful, and follow-through flawless. You’ll own the executive rhythm (time, travel, touchpoints), orchestrate board logistics, and turn decisions into timely actions across functions. If you thrive on making complex things run simply—and love being three steps ahead—this is your lane.
Key Responsibilities
Executive Rhythm & Time Management
+ Own complex, multi-time-zone calendars; protect focus blocks and de-conflict priorities.
+ Build travel that _works_ : smart routing, holds, changes on the fly, and tidy expense wrap-up.
+ Anticipate needs; prep materials and brief execs so they walk in ready.
Meetings, Offsites & Board Support
+ Drive the meeting lifecycle: agenda → pre-reads → facilitation support → notes → action tracker → owners & due dates.
+ Coordinate executive offsites and leadership summits (venue, AV, run-of-show).
+ Lead board/investor logistics (calendar holds, prep timelines, book travel, secure rooms/NDAs); partner on materials packaging and distribution.
Communication & Cross-Functional Liaison
+ Draft/update exec communications, summaries, and follow-ups in clear, concise language.
+ Serve as point of contact with internal leaders and external partners—professional, timely, discreet.
Admin, Finance & Ops Hygiene
+ Process expenses
+ Maintain confidential files; uphold impeccable judgment and security practices.
Projects & “Whatever-It-Takes”
+ Run small cross-functional projects (checklists, RACI, timelines) to land outcomes on time.
+ Provide light personal logistics when it directly impacts business travel/availability.
What You Bring

+ Tools fluency: **MS Office** , **Teams/Zoom** , **DocuSign** , **SharePoint** (or similar).
+ Discretion and integrity handling sensitive information; relationship-builder who gets things done.
Nice to Have
+ Board meeting support experience (materials cadence, logistics).
