This role is vital in ensuring the smooth functioning of executive operations through proactive coordination, communication, and organizational excellence.
We are seeking a highly experienced, confident, and tech-savvy professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, demonstrates sound judgment, maintains confidentiality, and brings a proactive and polished presence to all internal and external interactions.

Coordinate domestic and international travel logistics, including flights, accommodations, visas, and on-the-ground transportation, while ensuring full compliance with company travel and expense (T&E) policies. Prepare, process, and track expense reports with precision and timeliness, maintaining awareness of Sunshine Act implications and company reporting standards. Support internal communications initiatives, including preparing executive messages, drafting content for internal channels, and helping coordinate internal events in collaboration with the communications team. Develop and maintain organized systems for team documents, workflows, and knowledge-sharing tools (e.g., SharePoint, MS Teams). Serve as a point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, exhibiting professionalism, discretion, and strong communication skills. Coordinate and support team-wide projects, team meetings, offsites, and events, including compiling agendas, producing meeting materials, capturing action items, and following up. Manage administrative processes such as organizational charts, department procedures, meeting logistics, and onboarding support for new team members. Proactively identify opportunities to improve administrative processes, increase efficiency, and support team success. Participate in the Executive Assistant Committee and attend monthly in-person meetings. Provide coverage at the reception desk during lunch breaks one day per week.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with experience drafting executive-level correspondence and internal messaging.
