Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Executive Assistant serves as the principal administrative partner and operational gatekeeper driving C‑suite efficiency and corporate culture. This role plays a critical part in the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) ecosystem and works closely with internal department heads, cross‑functional VPs, and external partners. We are seeking an elite, high‑initiative professional who operates with predictive foresight demonstrating exceptional resourcefulness in a fast‑paced environment. You will manage complex C‑suite logistics and corporate governance workflows while exercising full project ownership over head office operations, vendor relationships, and high‑profile annual corporate events.

• Drive execution of intensive calendar management, complex travel itineraries, and logistical schedules for the COO and designated high‑priority ELT members.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery of monthly Executive Leadership Team and quarterly Board of Directors meeting coordination, including template‑driven agenda curation, virtual/in‑person technology checks, catering, and venue dinner bookings.
• Ensure compliance and alignment with internal financial guidelines by managing, reviewing, and routing high‑level invoice approvals and purchase orders across corporate divisions.
• Analyze and reconcile personal and company credit card expenses monthly, consolidating statements and executing timely submissions through the JD Edwards (JDE) system.

• Create and execute a year‑round corporate engagement and wellness calendar to enrich workplace culture.
• Support leadership decision‑making by tracking project milestones, managing real‑time spend against approved event budgets, and compiling post‑event financial summaries for senior executives.
