Rockstar Executive Assistant & Office Maestro Wanted

Hartford Area | $60,000 - $70,000 | Full-Time

Are you the type of Executive Assistant who can juggle calendars, craft polished presentations, and dominate an Excel spreadsheet - all before your second cup of coffee? We're partnering with a dynamic, mission-driven financial advisory firm that's searching for a sharp, high-performing Executive Assistant to be the right hand to the CEO and the heartbeat of office operations.

This is more than an admin role - it's an opportunity to lead with excellence, support high-level leadership, and keep the business running like a well-oiled machine.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Calendar & Scheduling Pro: Manage a high-volume, fast-paced calendar for the CEO and key executives. Schedule meetings, prep agendas, and ensure no ball gets dropped.
• Communication Hub: Be the point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. Manage inboxes, screen calls, route correspondence, and maintain a smooth flow of communication.
• Meeting Guru: Organize and attend leadership and board meetings. Take clear, actionable notes and follow through on tasks.
• Project & Office Manager: Keep daily operations humming - from ordering supplies to managing filing systems and spearheading special projects.
• Travel & Events Coordinator: Book travel, arrange logistics, and secure venues for community and offsite events.
• Excel & Reporting Wizard: Handle data, reports, budgets, and presentations with accuracy and polish. You can pivot tables in your sleep and make spreadsheets sing.
• Culture Champion: Foster positivity, professionalism, and a problem-solving mindset across the organization.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of executive-level office management (bonus if in financial services, nonprofit, or professional services)
• Experience supporting C-suite executives or managing partners a plus
• Associate's Degree or equivalent experience
• Tech-savvy with Microsoft Office Suite - especially Outlook, Excel, and Word
• A proactive, detail-obsessed, get-it-done attitude
• Stellar verbal and written communication skills
• Discretion, diplomacy, and the ability to handle confidential information with care
• Organizational skills that rival a military strategist's

What's In It for You:

• Salary: $60,000 - $70,000
• 401(k) Match
• Health Premium Reimbursement
• Generous PTO
  • 2 Weeks Vacation
  • Paid Office Shutdowns (Fall & Spring)
  • 12 Paid Holidays
