Behind every effective executive team is someone who quietly ensures the right things happen at the right time.

At Nourish, the Executive Assistant is much more than an administrative professional. This trusted partner helps keep our Executive Office running smoothly, protects executive time, coordinates critical projects, supports our Board of Directors, and helps ensure our leadership remains focused on serving thousands of neighbors throughout Pierce County.

If you are highly organized, thrive on solving problems, enjoy bringing order to complexity, and find fulfillment in helping others succeed, we'd love to meet you.

Nourish is one of the largest hunger relief organizations in Pierce County, operating a network of food banks, mobile food distributions, and community partnerships that provide nutritious food and support services with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Every day, our team works to ensure our neighbors have access not only to healthy food, but also to hope, dignity, and community. We believe everyone deserves to be welcomed with respect, and every employee plays an important role in fulfilling this mission.

The Executive Assistant serves as a trusted partner to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO), providing high-level administrative, operational, and organizational support that enables executive leadership to focus on advancing Nourish's mission and strategic priorities.

This is far more than a traditional administrative position. The successful candidate will become the organizational hub of the Executive Office—anticipating needs, coordinating priorities, maintaining executive systems, and ensuring projects, communications, and Board responsibilities remain on track.

The position requires exceptional professionalism, discretion, initiative, organizational skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining strict confidentiality.

The Executive Assistant will routinely handle sensitive information involving personnel matters, Board governance, legal matters, financial information, donor relations, strategic initiatives, and organizational operations.

The ideal candidate finds genuine satisfaction in helping others succeed. By anticipating needs, solving problems before they arise, and bringing order to complexity, this individual becomes an indispensable partner to the CEO and COO—allowing executive leadership to remain focused on serving our neighbors, supporting our staff, and advancing Nourish's mission throughout Pierce County.
