- Build strong partnerships across the organization and collaborate with fellow Executive Assistants to support a connected, high-performing culture.
- Contribute to special projects and strategic initiatives that help advance HR and company objectives.
- Arrange domestic and international travel, build detailed itineraries, and navigate changes seamlessly when plans shift.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, and Excel.
- Fluency with AI tools (Claude and Copilot in particular)
- Proven experience planning and executing onsite and offsite events, ranging from executive meetings and team offsites to large-scale company gatherings and employee engagement programs.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple events, stakeholders, vendor relationships, budgets, and timelines simultaneously.
- A demonstrated ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with the highest level of discretion and integrity.
- Bachelor's degree is a plus.
- Strong judgment, emotional intelligence, and professionalism when navigating complex situations and competing priorities.
- Outstanding organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.
- An enthusiastic, positive, and approachable presence with a genuine passion for creating exceptional employee experiences and fostering an engaging workplace culture.
- A collaborative, service-oriented mindset, balanced with confidence working independently.
