Senior Executive Assistant to the President & CEO

Charlotte, NC, US

Are You the Person Who Is Always Three Steps Ahead?

McLeod Centers for Wellbeing is looking for an exceptional Senior Executive Assistant to the President & CEO—someone who anticipates what needs to happen next and takes the initiative to make it happen.

This isn't a traditional administrative support role. We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, exercises good judgment, follows through relentlessly, and takes pride in helping a CEO and leadership team operate at their best.

The right person doesn't just manage a calendar. They protect the CEO's time, anticipate needs, prepare for what's ahead, and keep important priorities moving.

What You'll Do

• Strategically manage the CEO's calendar, priorities, and competing demands.
• Anticipate meetings, deadlines, decisions, and information needs.
• Prepare executive briefings, presentations, correspondence, and meeting materials.
• Track commitments and ensure important follow-up doesn't get lost between meetings.
• Coordinate executive leadership meetings and selected CEO-led initiatives.
• Serve as a key liaison with McLeod's Board of Trustees, coordinating meetings, materials, communications, and governance activities.
• Build strong relationships across the organization and with external partners.
• Identify opportunities to improve executive workflow, organization, and effectiveness.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with initiative, judgment, curiosity, discretion, and exceptional follow-through—someone who can learn an organization well enough to understand not only what needs to be done, but what likely needs to happen next.

Successful candidates will bring:

• 5+ years of progressively responsible executive support experience.
• Experience supporting a CEO, President, C-suite executive, or comparable senior leader strongly preferred.
• Exceptional organizational, prioritization, and communication skills.
• Confidence working with executives, Board members, employees, and external stakeholders.
• Strong technology skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities with limited direction.
• Experience in healthcare, nonprofit organizations, or Board support is a plus.

This is an opportunity to work closely with senior leadership while playing an important role in helping a mission-driven organization operate at its best.

• Employer Paid Benefits: Benefit from 100% employer-paid benefits, including short and long-term disability, group-term life insurance, and an Employee Assistance Program.
• Financial Security: Secure your future with a 401(k) plan, with company matches up to 3% after 90 days of employment.
