The right candidate will be more than just task-oriented; they will step up as a trusted partner — helping implement systems, protecting priorities, and freeing up executive time to focus on growth.

Why This Opportunity This is more than a traditional executive assistant position — it’s a chance to be at the center of strategy, growth, and decision-making across multiple businesses. You’ll gain exposure to high-level leaders and projects while working in an environment that values results, trust, and flexibility over rigid schedules. For someone with a training or facilitation background, there’s an especially exciting potential to grow into leading workshops currently handled by the executive. That said, this is not a requirement — if your true strength lies in being an exceptional EA, you’ll be valued in that role long term, and another person can be hired to take over workshops down the road. The key is finding someone who thrives on responsibility, growth, and partnership. If that’s you, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while building a career you’re excited about.
