The Executive Assistant will have access to highly sensitive executive, employee, organizational, and business information and must demonstrate the highest degree of confidentiality, discretion, integrity, and professionalism in every interaction. They leverage technology and AI thoughtfully to enhance productivity, streamline processes, and increase the overall effectiveness of the CHRO’s office.

  • Coordinate executive meetings, offsites, talent reviews, and HR leadership events and activities, including agendas, materials, logistics, and follow-up.
  • Serve as a trusted point of contact for the CHRO, handling sensitive and confidential business, employee, and compensation matters.
  • Anticipate executive needs, resolve issues proactively, and ensure alignment with key priorities.
  • Track action items, deadlines, and deliverables to support effective execution and communication.
  • Prepare presentations, reports, briefing materials, and executive communications.
  • Support special projects and cross-functional initiatives with HR, Finance, Legal, Communications, and other stakeholders.
  • Leverage AI, Microsoft Copilot, and digital tools to improve productivity, information management, and workflow efficiency.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance executive and HR operations.
  • Manage travel logistics, visas, expense reporting, and leadership events to ensure seamless execution.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

  • 8+ years of executive support experience in complex, fast-paced organizations, including direct support of C-suite leaders.
  • Proven ability to manage executive priorities, board and leadership meetings and communications, confidential information, and high-visibility stakeholder relationships with discretion and professionalism.
  • Strong judgment, organization, and project coordination skills, with the ability to independently manage competing priorities and drive follow-through.
  • Exceptional communication and executive presence, with experience preparing presentations, briefing materials, agendas, and executive correspondence.
  • Experience supporting talent reviews, succession planning, leadership meetings/events, and global business operations.
  • Technology-forward professional with experience leveraging AI, automation, productivity tools, and international travel coordination, including visa and documentation requirements.
