  • On-ground tasks two days a week (more during select weeks): mail pickup, vendor runs, venue walk-throughs, event logistics.


Must-have experience
  • 2+ years as a dedicated Executive Assistant (C-suite, agency MD, or nonprofit ED).
  • Solid project-management skills (ClickUp, Asana, Trello, or similar).
  • Extremely organized
  • Confident, upbeat communicator—comfortable with city officials, tribal leaders, corporate sponsors.
  • Fluency in Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Calendly, Zoom, and Mailchimp; social-media scheduler basics.
