Anticipate conflicts and competing priorities; propose solutions that protect focus time and critical business commitments.
Ensure executives are fully prepared for meetings (agenda, objectives, attendees, context, and required pre-reads).
Maintain an effective rhythm of business (e.g., 1:1s, leadership meetings, monthly reviews, QBRs).

Prepare and quality-check briefing packs, agendas, action logs, and presentations.
Capture outcomes and drive follow-up on actions, owners, and deadlines when required.
Manage meeting logistics (rooms, MS Teams links, attendee lists) and proactively resolve scheduling/technology issues.

Travel, logistics, and event support

Arrange complex travel itineraries (domestic and international as required), including flights, hotels, ground transport, and contingency planning.
Prepare detailed itineraries and ensure all confirmations and documentation are in place.
Handle last-minute changes calmly and efficiently.
Support internal events and executive engagements (offsites, town halls, visits) as needed.

Administrative operations and business support

Process expenses and reimbursements accurately and on time, ensuring compliance with required documentation.
Draft, format, and proofread communications and documents to an executive-ready standard.
Coordinate approvals and administrative workflows; track and follow through to completion.
Maintain structured file management across Teams/SharePoint, including version control and access management.

Stakeholder management, confidentiality, and continuous improvement

Build strong working relationships across leadership teams, peers, and assistants to ensure seamless coordination.
Communicate clearly and tactfully at all levels; represent executives professionally.
Handle sensitive information with strict confidentiality and strong ethical judgment.
Identify opportunities to improve processes and standardize templates (agendas, action trackers, briefing packs).

Required Qualifications & Experience

8+ years of progressive experience supporting senior leaders (executive management level), ideally in a multinational, professional services, consulting, financial services, or similarly complex environment.
Proven ability to manage complex calendars and coordinate across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities.
Demonstrated capability to handle confidential matters with discretion, maturity, and sound judgment.
Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience).

Excellent written and verbal communication; able to draft high-quality correspondence and summaries.
Highly organized with strong attention to detail and dependable follow-through.
Proactive mindset with strong judgment on urgency, confidentiality, and escalation.
Strong collaboration and service orientation; able to operate effectively across teams and cultures.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and strong working knowledge of Teams/SharePoint file management.
Resilient and calm under pressure; comfortable handling last-minute changes and shifting priorities.

Preferred / Advantageous Experience
