  • Follow up with department leaders to schedule touchpoints or check in on progress.

  • Raise a flag on concern from a recent conversation or meeting and help gather thoughtful context for the President to respond.

  • End the week by reviewing the calendar, blocking time for deep work, and planning priorities for the following week.

What You Bring:

  • 3+ years of experience supporting C-level executives or senior leadership in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Impeccable organization skills and the ability to juggle competing demands with a calm, solutions-focused mindset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint); experience with project management tools (ninety.io) is a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a proactive and confident approach.
  • A friendly, approachable demeanor with the ability to work independently and take initiative when needed
