• Serve as a central point of coordination for the executive team and its internal and external stakeholders.
• Manage routine administrative requests, correspondence, forms, approvals, and follow-up activities on behalf of executives.
• Screen and prioritize meeting requests, communications, and other demands on executives' time.
• Prepare and format presentations, reports, meeting materials, correspondence, and other business documents.
• Coordinate leadership meetings, including scheduling, agendas, room or technology setup, and material distribution.
• Track action items and follow up with responsible parties when requested.
• Identify administrative tasks that can be standardized, delegated, automated, or eliminated.
