Executive Assistant – General Counsel & Corporate Secretary

Job Description

ADI Global Distribution is a leading global specialty distributor of professionally installed low‑voltage products serving commercial and residential markets, including security, professional audio‑visual (AV), smart living, data communications, and networking solutions. With approximately $4.8 billion in annual revenue, more than 4,100 team members, and 100,000+ customers worldwide, ADI is expected to become an independent publicly traded company upon completion of a tax‑free spin‑off from Resideo Technologies, Inc.,

• Discretion & Judgment:
  Handles highly sensitive information with integrity and sound decision‑making.
• Execution Excellence:
  Delivers highly accurate, polished work under tight deadlines.
• Proactive Mindset:
  Anticipates needs and resolves issues before escalation.
