Clear written and verbal communication is a must, as is a comprehensive understanding of the organization, leadership team structure, and business partner/stakeholder roles.

This role requires five (5) days a week in office.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage complex calendars and scheduling for multiple executives across different time zones
• Drive continuous improvement through process optimization and new mechanisms
• Coordinate and execute team activities, including staff meetings, all-teams, offsites, and team events
• Manage sensitive and confidential information with the highest level of discretion
• Schedule & manage cost-effective travel, both domestic and international
• Attending key meetings, tracking and helping drive completion of key deliverables, ensuring timely follow-up on pending items
• Serve as a liaison between executives and internal/external stakeholders
• Build relationships and work collaboratively with Executive Assistants throughout the team, across the company, and with our most critical external partners
