Description du poste

A globally admired consumer‑lifestyle brand is scaling its next chapter from its Los Angeles executive hub. The incoming CEO needs a sharp, seasoned business partner who can craft rhythm, guard focus, and keep critical initiatives marching in tune. If you thrive on anticipation (not reaction) and love being the conductor behind a high‑energy, creative enterprise, this is your stage.

Top-Three Impact Goals (first 90 days)

• Engineer a purpose‑driven calendar. Design an intentional cadence that protects strategic blocks and reduces reactive noise.
• Earn trusted‑gatekeeper status. Establish instant credibility with the board, ELT, and partner EAs while diplomatically managing access and information flow.
• Lock executive & board rhythms. Own weekly operating rituals, board‑prep timelines, and material workflows so everything feels buttoned‑up—no last‑minute scrambles.

Compensation & Logistics

• Competitive base salary, commensurate with scope and prior board exposure.
• Work model: Primarily on‑site with limited travel for key board meetings and off‑sites.
• Relocation support considered for exceptional talent.

Core Responsibilities

• Curate and optimize a multi‑time‑zone agenda that aligns priorities and shields the CEO’s focus.
• Orchestrate complex domestic and international travel with proactive contingency playbooks.
• Drive board‑meeting readiness—own timelines, materials, and logistics so leadership walks in prepared.
• Produce polished executive communications, decks, and briefing docs that elevate brand voice.
• Act as “adult‑in‑the‑room” gatekeeper—confidently saying no, setting boundaries, and filtering noise.
• Informally lead fellow EAs for major events, multi‑day off‑sites, and cross‑functional initiatives.

Ideal Profile

• 12+ years supporting senior executives, including direct CEO partnership within global, matrixed organizations.
• Proven board‑facing experience and mastery of high‑stakes executive environments.
• Polished presence, detail obsession, and a proactive mindset that enforces boundaries with grace.
• Fluency with modern productivity stacks (Outlook, Slack, Zoom) and comfort steering other admins.
• Tenure at brand‑driven or large‑scale consumer companies highly valued.
