We are seeking an exceptional Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO to serve as a trusted partner to the CEO of a rapidly growing company. This is an opportunity for an experienced executive professional who wants to become a trusted partner to a CEO and play an important role behind the scenes of a growing organization.
This is not a traditional administrative role. We are looking for a highly intelligent, experienced, organized, resourceful, and exceptionally driven individual who can operate at the pace and standard of a CEO managing a growing organization, an expanding C-suite, multiple priorities, frequent travel, and a demanding schedule.
The right candidate will become an extension of the CEO—helping manage time, priorities, communication, information flow, meetings, travel, follow-through, and the many moving pieces surrounding the Office of the CEO.
This individual must be a big-picture thinker and a detail-oriented executor: someone who can anticipate what is needed before being asked, solve problems independently, maintain absolute discretion, and consistently bring structure and clarity to a fast-moving environment.
Above all, this person should make the CEO more organized, more prepared, more focused, and more effective.

- Ensure important requests, decisions, and information reach the CEO efficiently.
- Track key commitments and follow-ups coming out of leadership discussions.
- Help ensure executives are prepared for meetings with the CEO.
- Maintain visibility into important deadlines, deliverables, and decisions requiring CEO attention.

- Identify issues requiring CEO attention and surface them proactively.
- Help create structure around a high-volume flow of communication.
- Assist with monitoring, organizing, prioritizing, and flagging important emails.
- Identify urgent matters requiring immediate CEO attention.
- Help draft and coordinate executive correspondence when requested.

- Manage executive travel seamlessly from beginning to end.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel, including flights, hotels, ground transportation, reservations, meetings, and detailed itineraries.
- Anticipate changes and solve travel problems quickly and calmly.
- Ensure the CEO has all necessary information, confirmations, documents, contacts, and logistics before departure.
- Remain available when necessary to resolve issues during travel.
