Are you ready to join the programmatic evolution?
We are seeking a New York-based Executive Assistant to support both our CEO and CFO. This is a high-visibility, fast-paced role that requires impeccable discretion, strategic prioritization, and an ability to anticipate the needs of two key executive leaders. The role also includes occasional coordination of in-office events and high-level stakeholder interactions, both internal and external.
The EA is a strategic partner for our executive leaders, proactively anticipating needs and issues, and streamlining and organizing schedules, travel, and team projects. The EA will be tuned into the business operations and priorities of the leaders they are supporting, and facilitating administrative tasks and operations on their behalf.
Here’s What You’ll be Doing:
- Proactively manage the CEO and CFO’s calendars to optimize their time and efficiency, handling all scheduling details to enable them to operate at a strategic level. Leverage strong administrative and organizational skills to directly support business objectives and enhance executive performance.
- Prioritize conflicting needs, handle matters expeditiously and proactively, and follow through on projects to successful completion.
- Direct, monitor, and contribute to project management; track and drive completion of key deliverables, proactively following up on outstanding items as needed. Provide an extra layer of transparency on pending projects for follow-up and execution; identify potential issues for escalation.
- Intuit the dynamics of the team and seamlessly step into and out of workflows across the company, time zones, and travel schedules.
- Manage logistical and administrative support for meetings. This includes having working knowledge of the technology in the offices and the workflow tools (Microsoft suite of products, video conferencing tools, and Confluence).
- Coordinate complex travel itineraries and manage expenses diligently and on time.
- Plan, coordinate, and support in-office events in collaboration with the workplace, community, and EA teams. These events are both internal as well as external and can include planning everything from guest office access to catering to IT needs.
- Be trusted to access confidential information with complete integrity, operate with an elevated level of self-motivation, and provide candid and collaborative feedback.
- Collaborate closely with the broader Executive Assistant team to ensure seamless executive support across the business.
Here's What You Need:
- Strong work tenure: 4+ years of executive-level support.
- Experience in a fast-paced environment requiring a high degree of sensitivity, detail-orientation, responsiveness, and organization.
- Governed by a strong proactive approach, taking the initiative where appropriate, and looking beyond the immediate ask to anticipate future needs or requirements and work through them resourcefully.
- Organized but flexible, with the ability to anticipate change, and to react efficiently and quickly.
- Self-directed: Able to determine priorities, make decisions, and manage time well. That said, not afraid to ask questions and ask for help when needed.
- Take pride in exhibiting a high degree of accuracy and great attention to detail. Strong organizer with the ability to create processes that simplify tasks.
- Effective communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
- Tech savvy - existing knowledge of computer programs and the ability to quickly learn programs. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (like Outlook and Teams), Slack, Confluence/ wiki pages, expense and travel software, and project management programs.
- Team player with a high degree of ownership. Willing to step in where needed and help others.
- Some event planning and/or hospitality experience is a plus.
The base salary for this role is $96,000 to $116,000 USD. The total compensation package may vary depending on job related knowledge, skills and experience.
