Meeting & Travel Support

• Prepare meeting materials, attend select meetings, capture decisions and action items, and drive follow-through.
• Coordinate domestic and international travel and manage expense reporting for the CEO and Executive Team.

Execution, Follow-Through & Accountability

• Track and drive execution of CEO-led initiatives, ensuring commitments are met and priorities stay on schedule. (e.g., quarterly employee assessments).
• Maintain visibility into deadlines, deliverables, and leadership accountability across the organization.

Operations & Administrative Excellence

• Maintain organized records, files, and documentation while supporting leadership meetings, company events, and special projects.
• Identify and implement improvements to workflows, communication, and operational efficiency while handling sensitive information with discretion.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience supporting a senior executive, founder, or CEO in a fast-paced environment.
