ABOUT YOU :

• You have 5+ years supporting C-level leaders , preferably in nonprofit or fast-paced mission-driven orgs
• You hold a Bachelor’s degree (Psychology, Education, or related field preferred)
• You’re proactive to your core—“What’s next?” is your favorite question
• You’re high EQ + high IQ —you think clearly, write cleanly, and bring calm to chaos
