We are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant with 10+ years of experience supporting C-level executives in publicly traded, product-driven, and intellectual property (IP)-focused organizations.

• Serve as a trusted strategic partner, managing the CEO's daily priorities to maximize productivity and effectiveness.
• Own a highly complex executive calendar, balancing competing priorities while anticipating scheduling conflicts and business needs.
• Coordinate domestic and international travel, including detailed itineraries, logistics, accommodations, visas (when applicable), and expense reporting.
• Prepare executive correspondence, presentations, reports, briefing materials, agendas, and other high-quality communications.
• Support Board of Directors meetings by coordinating logistics, preparing meeting materials, and ensuring timely distribution of confidential documents.
• Act as the primary liaison between the CEO and internal leadership, employees, customers, investors, legal counsel, and external business partners.
• Screen communications, prioritize requests, and exercise sound judgment in determining appropriate responses and escalation.
• Coordinate executive meetings, leadership off-sites, and company events while tracking action items and ensuring timely follow-up.
• Assist with strategic initiatives, cross-functional projects, and special assignments requiring executive-level coordination.
• Manage confidential business information with the highest level of integrity, professionalism, and discretion.
• Improve administrative processes and identify opportunities to increase executive and organizational efficiency.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have:

• 10+ years of Executive Assistant experience supporting C-suite executives, preferably CEOs, within publicly traded companies.
• Experience supporting executives in product-based, technology, manufacturing, consumer products, medical device, life sciences, or intellectual property-focused organizations.
• Demonstrated experience working with Boards of Directors, executive leadership teams, and external stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously while maintaining exceptional accuracy and attention to detail.
• Outstanding organizational, project management, and problem-solving skills.

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
• Experience with Google Workspace, virtual meeting platforms, expense management systems, and calendar management tools.
• Ability to anticipate executive needs, work independently, and make sound decisions with minimal direction.
• High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of the organization.
• Bachelor's degree preferred.

What Makes You Successful

You are someone who:

• Anticipates needs rather than reacts to them.
• Maintains absolute confidentiality and exercises exceptional judgment.
• Thrives under pressure while remaining calm, organized, and solution-oriented.
• Communicates with confidence, professionalism, and diplomacy.
• Takes ownership, follows through, and consistently delivers results.
• Enjoys partnering with executive leadership to help move the business forward.
