  • Confidentiality and judgement: handle sensitive information with absolute discretion and a solutions-first attitude.

What Would Make you Succeed:
  • 3+ years supporting Senior Executive Leadership in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment for a similar sized Fortune 500 Corporation (or equivalent experience).
  • Exceptional communicator, proactive planner and relationship-builder who anticipates needs and calmly navigates ambiguity and everchanging priorities and project.
  • Confident with Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and other technology/collaboration tools - quick to learn new systems.
  • Demonstrated discretion and sound business judgment, executive presence and ability to maintain business confidentiality.

What you will love about this position:
  • Work with influential leaders and see direct outcomes from your contributions.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits, flexible/hybrid work options, and opportunities for career growth and development.
