Team Overview

The Executive Assistant & Office Lead will support the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and daily operations of ADF’s Dallas office. Reporting to the CFO, this role requires exceptional discretion and confidentiality while anticipating needs, managing schedules and travel, coordinating internal and external engagements, and providing administrative support to the CFO as directed. This role also serves as the central point of contact for the Dallas office for local staff and remote support groups as the Dallas office continues to grow.

The role suits someone who enjoys the variety and ownership of a smaller, start-up-style environment, where no two days look quite the same. It demands excellence and continuous improvement, along with a proven ability to anticipate the office's needs.

Key Responsibilities

Executive Support

• Manage the CFO’s schedule, calendar, travel, and expenses.
• Manage internal and external correspondence, including with auditors, banking partners, outside executives, and ADF board members.
• Track key finance dates (month- and quarter-end close, annual audit, budget cycle, board reporting, tax filings) and ensure the CFO is prepared and deadlines are met.
• Prepare agendas and financial packets for finance and audit committee meetings, and coordinate logistics.
• Handle frequent signature and approval requests (contracts, wire authorizations, insurance renewals, vendor agreements) and maintain electronic and hard copy files.
• Review and approve expense reports and PTO requests for the CFO’s Finance direct reports.
• Perform related duties and special projects as assigned.
• Serve as the primary administrative contact for the Dallas office, coordinating with internal departments, vendors, and building management.
• Support meeting and event logistics (room setup, catering, AV), including larger events requiring landlord sign-off.
• Serve as the landlord/property manager contact for maintenance requests and repairs, submitting and following up on work orders through the tenant portal.
• Communicate building policies (freight elevator hours, delivery windows, after-hours access) to staff and coordinate access for maintenance staff and vendors.
• Assist with office moves and reconfigurations, and maintain vendor contact lists for services the landlord doesn’t cover (cleaning, coffee/water).
• Process mail and packages, coordinate with couriers, and maintain shipping logs.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business administration, communications, English, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 3+ years of administrative experience, ideally as an executive assistant supporting senior leadership in a finance, professional, or nonprofit environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Suite (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint) and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
• Ability to build collaborative relationships with executives, staff, vendors, and property management; anticipate the CFO’s and office’s needs; and exercise sound judgment in prioritizing access to the CFO, resolving scheduling conflicts, and protecting the executive’s time.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize competing deadlines, and improve office operations, processes, and employee experience, while safeguarding confidential financial and personnel information.
• Occasional local errands and travel required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional certification, such as Certified Administrative Professional (CAP), preferred but not required.

At Alliance Defending Freedom, we offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package to support your well-being and growth. Our benefits include 100% covered medical and dental insurance, medical and dependent care reimbursement, paid disability, long-term care, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan with a 4% company match. We prioritize work-life balance with paid time off and 12 paid holidays each year.

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Doctrinal Distinctives

• We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe that the Lordship of Christ requires us as disciples to seek to conform our actions, thoughts, and desires in obedience to Him.
• We believe God creates each person with an immutable biological sex — male or female — that reflects the image and likeness of God.
• We believe God designed marriage as a unique conjugal relationship joining one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, life-long union, and God intends sexual intimacy only to occur within that relationship.
• We believe God endows all human life with inherent dignity, and it must be respected and protected from conception to natural death.
• We believe that God has endowed all humans with the natural, and inalienable right of religious freedom to believe, pursue truth, and live within ordered liberty such that no civil government may justly infringe upon it.
• We believe that God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, calls all of us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him, knowing that He promises us abundant and eternal life.
