Core Responsibilities

Executive Operations & Administration

• Manage executive travel, expenses, approvals, and reimbursements in compliance with internal and accounting guidelines.
• Coordinate complex scheduling, logistics, and personal support for SVPs across global locations.
• Act as a confidential, trusted point of support for other senior leadership while traveling.
• Work closely with Operations, IT, MarComm, BI, and other internal teams depending on needs.

Travel, Events & Hospitality

• Plan and execute SVP and team travel, dinners, happy hours, office lunches, or events ranging from 20–150+ attendees—establishing inclusive (and fun!) environments that account for preferences, accessibility, and group dynamics.
• Source venues, manage vendors, negotiate pricing, and maintain budgets for internal summits and social events, sometimes with little notice and in other countries.
• Demonstrate strong social range when communicating—from C-suite leaders to hospitality staff—using best judgment to resolve issues while remaining positive and approachable.

• Build and maintain trackers, spreadsheets, and dashboards used for leadership reporting and decision-making.
• Partner with team members to manage global Core Value Bonus logistics and distribution.

Team Culture & Gifting

• Act as an observer of team culture, sharing candid, practical feedback to support decision-making while ultimately respecting leadership judgment and final direction.

Leadership Partnership

• Anticipate needs by understanding different SVP leadership styles, priorities, and context.
• Provide discreet personal and life-management support for SVPs as needed, including appointments, travel logistics, ad hoc health or financial coordination, and hiring assistance.
• Handle time-sensitive requests with urgency, sound judgment, and confidentiality.
