We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. We are looking for an Executive Assistant to join our dynamic team of administrative professionals. In this role, you’ll manage tasks and priorities with confidentiality, urgency, and a strong customer focus.

Provide general administrative support, such as reconciling receipts, executing expense reports on behalf of the leaders, and coordinating ad hoc project coordination. Own and contribute to team and organizational projects and operational improvements as needed. Proactively seek, share, and apply knowledge to spot opportunities and deliver innovative, entrepreneurial solutions in fast‑paced environments with limited direction. Prepare for meetings and participate by assembling agendas, recording meeting minutes and notes, and overseeing A/V needs and action items. Identify areas to increase efficiency and innovate to improve administrative processes. Seek opportunities to help the administrative team support the organization’s goals more effectively. Identify, learn, and teach new tools or techniques to elevate the level of support and partnership the team gives. The role is based in‑person in the Ballston, VA office. What You Will Bring
