- Use AI‑enabled tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) to help draft briefs, summarize materials, generate itineraries, and surface action items.
- Support basic data coordination and reporting (dashboards, KPIs, meeting scorecards) with strong attention to accuracy and context.
- Maintain organized, secure records and knowledge assets; manage confidential files and permissions appropriately.
- Coordinate required filings, renewals, and approvals, partner with Compliance, Legal, and Finance on process accuracy and timeliness.
- Champion meeting hygiene and operating cadence – clear agendas, decisions, owners, and deadlines.
- 8+ years of experience supporting senior executives in large, matrixed or global organizations (including 5+ at VP/C‑suite level).
- Proven success supporting multiple executives with distinct styles and priorities.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication; high EQ and cultural intelligence.
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft 365 and collaboration tools; comfort learning new AI‑enabled workflows.
- Demonstrated discretion, judgment, and integrity handling confidential information.
