Description

Keep mission-critical work moving at the highest level of leadership

MasteryPrep is seeking a proactive and highly organized Executive Assistant to support our CEO and play a key role in optimizing our leadership team’s focus and impact. In this role, you will manage day-to-day administrative operations, facilitate critical communication, and serve as a reliable partner in planning, scheduling, and coordination. 

This is not just a calendar management role—your work will directly support the pace and precision of our executive leadership. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, adaptable  and thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. 

Responsibilities will include:

  • Manage the CEO’s calendar, schedule, and inbox with a high degree of autonomy and accuracy. 
  • Prioritize and coordinate meetings, appointments, and travel arrangements. 
  • Manage sensitive and confidential information with discretion and integrity. 
  • Serve as a trusted communication liaison between the CEO and internal/external stakeholders. 
  • Support leadership team communication, including preparation of materials, agenda setting, and follow-up documentation. 
  • Draft internal memos, executive summaries, and meeting notes with professionalism and clarity. 
  • Help track high-level initiatives, deadlines, and deliverables across departments. 
  • Support the CEO in preparing for speaking engagements, media appearances, and public events. 
  • Anticipate needs and take initiative to resolve problems before they escalate. 
  • Organize travel arrangements and itineraries. 
  • Provide end-to-end support for meetings, on-site visits, and events. 
  • Project management and presentation development, performing other ad hoc related duties as required.

About Us
Nearly 90% of low-income students graduate high school without a college-ready ACT or SAT score. MasteryPrep’s mission is to level the playing field in education by offering the most effective test preparation available – made accessible to all students. 

Through 10 successful years of partnering with school districts and institutions on college readiness services and resources, MasteryPrep has surpassed one million students served since the company’s founding in 2012. 

MasteryPrep has increased its student outreach by 200 percent since 2020 and is ranked among the Inc. 5000 “Fastest Growing Companies,” featured by “Entrepreneur 360,” and selected among the “Growth Leaders” by Louisiana Economic Development.

When we ask our employees what they love most about working with MasteryPrep, it comes down to the mission, the people, and the challenge.

  1. The mission: Ever had a day when you just don’t feel like getting out of bed and working? We don’t. We have a strong mission that truly changes lives and it motivates us each day to get up, get together, get better, and get things done.
  2. The people: MasteryPrep is as diverse as the student population we serve and we value our employees as people, not just the position they fill. We have bicyclists, book nerds, musicians, basketball players, video gamers, and one person who has an insanely green thumb. No really. She can grow anything!

The challenge: We believe that with everything we do, we should make it awesome. We don’t believe in “average,” “run-of-the-mill,” or “ordinary.” And “good enough” isn’t in our vocabulary. We’re growing tremendously and won’t stop until every student has access to a better future. Bring your experience, skills, and creativity here—and you’ll find MasteryPrep is a place to contribute and feel valued.

What We Do

At MasteryPrep, we believe every student can score college ready on the ACT, and SAT.

And we do mean every student.

Craig Gehring, founder and president of MasteryPrep, earned perfect scores on the ACT and SAT and has been helping students master the ACT ever since.

He founded MasteryPrep in 2013 in the hopes of closing the achievement gap that prevents poor and impoverished students from getting the help they need to improve their ACT scores, get into the college of their choice, and secure a bright future for themselves.

At MasteryPrep, our goal is to help these students boost their scores using targeted, engaging test-prep materials that emphasize remediation and subject-mastery. We have provided hundreds of schools and school districts across the country with an arsenal of teacher-friendly tools that are easily customized to fit their budget, schedule, and student skill level.

Education is capable of lifting students out of poverty and opening them up to a new world of opportunities. When given access to education, every child has the ability to gain the confidence, experience, and potential to broaden his or her horizons. We believe that by changing the world of these students through education, we can change the world for everyone.

Visit us online to see how you can change the world of your students through our college readiness solutions.
