About the Role

The Executive Operations Coordinator provides operational and coordination support to the Digital & Transformation Leadership Team, with a primary focus on supporting the Director of Digital & Transformation.

Digital & Transformation operates across a global organization, with leadership and teams located across North America, Europe, and other regions. This role will help create an effective operating rhythm across the leadership team by coordinating schedules, meetings, travel, communications, presentations, follow up activities, and other operational priorities.

The position is intended to increase leadership capacity by ensuring important activities are well organized, commitments are followed through, and leaders can dedicate more of their time to strategic priorities, customers, innovation, transformation, people leadership, and delivery.

The successful candidate will be proactive, highly organized, responsive, and comfortable working across senior stakeholders, multiple priorities, and global time zones. Strong judgment, attention to detail, discretion, and the ability to anticipate needs will be important to success.

This role is based at our DNV office in Houston, TX presenting a dynamic hybrid schedule where employees will typically spend three (3) days per week working from either aDNV office or client location/site. Further details regarding role‑specific requirements will be shared during the interview process.
