Summary:

The Executive Administrative Partner (EAP) is a trusted, strategic partner for up to three senior executives, including Chief level leaders. As part of the Workplace Experience Team, the EAP ensures seamless execution of daily priorities while amplifying broader organizational impact. Acting as a force multiplier, the EAP manages complex schedules (including some personal calendar needs), coordinates cross-functional meetings, prepares executives for high-stakes engagements, and provides critical support on projects and internal initiatives. They also partner closely with the Workplace Experience and People teams on event support, project coordination, and enhancing the in-office experience. Success in this role requires emotional intelligence, professionalism, and business acumen, along with the ability to anticipate needs, resolve challenges proactively, and operate with urgency in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments where no two days look the same.

• Own complex calendar management, appointment scheduling, and expense reconciliation; troubleshoot conflicts and make recommendations that optimize the executive’s time and effectiveness.
• Support in-office operations and workplace experience, including greeting guests, event support and front desk coverage, contributing to a high-functioning, welcoming environment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to coordinate meetings, events, and projects, ensuring alignment with broader business goals and seamless execution.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience supporting C-level executives in a fast-paced, high-growth, or complex environment.
• Strong project ownership skills, with the ability to independently manage timelines, deliverables, and follow-through without close oversight.
• Demonstrates sound judgment and discretion, especially in high-pressure, ambiguous, or sensitive situations involving confidential information or shifting executive needs.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, professional messaging on behalf of executives and communicate effectively across all levels of the organization.
• Operates with urgency and focus, quickly assessing and triaging competing priorities using sound executive judgment.

Preferred Qualifications
