The Executive Assistant serves as a strategic partner and trusted right hand to multiple members of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska's Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and Senior Leadership Team (SLT). This role operates at the highest level of the enterprise, providing proactive, high-judgment administrative and operational support that enables senior leaders to stay focused on the priorities that drive organizational success.

More than a traditional support role, the Executive Assistant functions as a trusted enterprise communicator and organizational connector — managing highly sensitive and confidential correspondence, drafting executive-level communications, coordinating complex multi-leader schedules, and serving as a professional representative of BCBSNE with internal teams, the Board of Directors, regulatory contacts, community partners, and external stakeholders. The ability to anticipate needs, exercise sound independent judgment, and operate with absolute discretion in a regulated healthcare environment is fundamental to success in this position.

The Executive Assistant leverages technology, automation, and AI-enabled tools to streamline administrative processes and improve productivity. Continuously evaluates new solutions and adopts best practices to enhance executive support. This role leads coordination of strategic projects, large-scale events, and cross-functional initiatives, while collaborating closely with BCBSNE's broader administrative team to ensure seamless continuity of executive support.

Candidates applying to this position must live within driving distance of the Omaha, Nebraska metro. This position allows remote flexibility but will have 3 day per week in the office.
