• Utilize technology and AI tools when appropriate to improve productivity and streamline administrative workflows.

Qualifications

• Significant experience supporting C-suite, executive leadership, or comparable senior-level executives.
• Experience working within a large, complex corporate organization.
• Strong executive presence with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High level of discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential matters.
• Strategic and proactive approach to executive support.
• Strong business acumen and ability to understand organizational priorities.
• Comfortable confidently communicating with senior executives and stakeholders.
• Demonstrated stability and consistency throughout employment history.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-visibility environment.
• Must be comfortable working fully onsite five days per week.
• Must be local to the Bay Area and able to commute to Milpitas.
• Initial contract expected to run through December 2026.
• Potential opportunity for extension and/or conversion to a permanent position.
• Standard workweek is 40 hours, with potential for approximately 40–52 hours depending on business needs.
• Occasional early morning or evening support may be required.
• This position is non-exempt.
• Candidates with primarily remote work histories may not be the best fit.
• Candidates should have a demonstrated history of professional tenure rather than frequent short-term moves.
• High-visibility opportunity supporting a C-suite executive.
• Strategic partnership role with exposure to senior leadership.
• Opportunity to participate in major organizational initiatives and executive-level projects.
• Potential exposure to board-level activity.
• Collaborative administrative team within a large corporate environment.
