The Opportunity
This is a hands-on executive partnership role at the center of a growing, physician-led healthcare organization.

- Prepare executive-ready correspondence, reports, presentations, and briefing materials while serving as a professional liaison among the CEO, physician partners, Senior Leadership Team, employees, and external stakeholders.
- Keep organizational priorities moving by tracking decisions, deadlines, and cross-functional projects; coordinating leadership events and visits; improving administrative workflows; and elevating delays or emerging risks to the CEO.
What You Bring
- Seven or more years of progressive experience in executive support, senior administration, operations, or program coordination, including direct support to a C-suite or senior executive.
- Hands-on experience supporting a Board, governing body, physician partnership, trustees, or executive committee through agendas, materials, minutes, records, and action tracking.
- Demonstrated success managing multiple projects and deadlines, preparing polished executive communications, building relationships across levels, and handling confidential information with sound judgment. Experience in healthcare or another complex regulated environment is preferred.
