• Significant visibility across leadership, employees, clients, and community partners.
• A role that combines executive support, business operations, event management, community engagement, and office leadership.
• Meaningful variety and the opportunity to make an impact every day.
• A collaborative, relationship-driven environment where initiative, judgment, and professionalism are highly valued.

What You Bring

• Associate degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant experience preferred.
• Five or more years of experience in executive support, office management, business operations, or a related administrative leadership role.
• Ability to work onsite at our Brookfield bank location.
• The confidence, professionalism, and maturity to work effectively with senior leaders, clients, board and advisory board members, and external partners.
• Strong organizational and project coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly as business needs change.
• Sound independent judgment, discretion, and the ability to handle confidential information appropriately.
• A proactive mindset and the ability to anticipate needs, take ownership, and follow through with minimal direction.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, along with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of an organization.
