The EA regularly liaises with internal and external stakeholders, provides guidance on policies and procedures, and independently manages correspondence and information requests.

• Proficiency with administrative tools and enterprise systems (e.g., Microsoft Office, Adobe, VIP, Concur, EPIC); comfort adapting to new platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently while collaborating closely with others, including in sensitive or high-pressure situations.
• High attention to detail, with sound judgment in managing confidential information and institutional workflows.
• Strong interpersonal skills grounded in cultural humility and a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA).
