 Humana’s Human Resources organization is seeking an experienced Senior Administrative Assistant to provide high-level administrative support to two senior-level HR executives, with additional ad hoc calendaring support for Vice Presidents as business needs arise.
As the Senior Administrative Assistant, you will serve as a trusted administrative partner within HR, managing complex calendars, coordinating meetings and travel, processing expenses, preparing meeting materials, and supporting the day-to-day administrative needs of senior executives.

• Provide ad hoc calendaring support to additional HR leaders, including Vice Presidents, based on business needs and capacity.
• Coordinate internal and external meetings, including scheduling, logistics, conference rooms, virtual access, meeting materials, catering, and other onsite and offsite requirements.
• Manage executive travel arrangements, including air, hotel, ground transportation, itineraries, and changes before or during travel.
