Job description

Executive Assistant professionals in Portland, Maine rarely find a position with this combination of leadership exposure, organizational impact, and exceptional benefits. ProSearch is partnering with a respected membership-based organization to identify a highly organized professional with experience in executive support, administrative assistance, office administration, calendar management, invoicing, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, and operations coordination.

This is far more than a traditional Executive Assistant role. As a trusted partner to the President & CEO, you'll help drive the day-to-day success of the organization while serving as a key resource for leadership, staff, members, vendors, and community stakeholders. You'll have a direct hand in keeping operations running smoothly, supporting strategic priorities, and ensuring a professional, responsive experience for everyone connected to the organization.

This position is ideal for an Executive Assistant, Office Manager, Chief of Staff, Administrative Coordinator, Business Operations Coordinator, or Office Administrator who enjoys balancing executive support, financial administration, operational coordination, and relationship management.

Why This Role Stands Out

Few Executive Assistant positions offer this level of visibility and impact. You'll:

• Work directly with the President & CEO as a trusted partner
• Influence key operational priorities across the organization
• Join a collaborative, mission-driven team with exceptional benefits

If you enjoy being the person who keeps everything organized, moving forward, and operating at a high level, you'll thrive in this position.

• Support the President & CEO with calendar management, scheduling, correspondence, meeting preparation, agendas, follow-up items, and special projects

Office Operations & Administration

• Coordinate daily office operations, including vendors, visitors, supplies, facility's needs, records, and administrative systems
• Support onboarding, offboarding, and team logistics
• Manage the general inbox and route inquiries appropriately
• Process incoming dues, sponsorship payments, checks, and deposits
• Maintain accurate CRM and membership database records
• Coordinate payment tracking, W-9s, ACH information, and other financial documentation
• Serve as the primary liaison with the external finance team
• Support reconciliations, reporting, audit preparation, and year-end documentation

Member & Organizational Support

• Serve as a key point of contact for member inquiries, account support, invoices, dues, and general services
• Maintain member records and provide administrative support for board, committee, and organizational activities

Qualifications We're Looking For

• Experience as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, Office Manager, Administrative Coordinator, or in a similar role supporting senior executives, Presidents, CEOs, or leadership teams

• Professional presence with the ability to interact confidently with business leaders, community stakeholders, and leadership teams
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, CRM platforms, databases, and other business systems
• Strong customer service, relationship-building, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you will:

• Become a trusted partner to the President & CEO and a key resource across the organization
• Ensure office operations, administrative processes, and financial activities run smoothly and accurately
