Qualifications

• 4+ years in executive administrative support, ideally to C-suite or senior leadership
• Proven discretion handling confidential information and senior stakeholders
• Strong organizational, time-management, and written communication skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and modern scheduling tools
• Comfort with ambiguity, rapidly shifting priorities, and a fast-paced environment
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• Experience in aerospace, defence, or technology sectors is an asset
• Eligibility for security clearance is an asset
