Job description

Role Overview

The Executive Assistant & Project Manager is the operational and administrative engine of the Head of P&A's office. This role exists to ensure the Head of P&A is always organized, prepared, and protected from logistical friction, freeing them and the Chief of Staff (CoS) to focus on strategy and high-impact work.

This is not a traditional EA role. You will own the scheduling, logistics, tracking, and administrative coordination that keeps the Head of P&A's office running with precision and reliability. You are the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks and who flags potential issues before anyone else notices.

Success in this role requires exceptional organizational skill, meticulous attention to detail, a bias for action, and the ability to manage competing priorities with calm and efficiency. Where the CoS drives strategy, you drive the systems and processes that make execution possible.

Location

Preference for candidates located near our hub locations (MN/TX/MI/NY), but will consider remote candidates. As a hybrid employee, you will go to the office 3 days a week. Must be based in the US.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage the Head of P&A's calendar with precision: prioritizing, protecting focus time, and proactively resolving conflicts.
  • Coordinate all travel logistics, itineraries, and trip preparation, including pre-read assembly and post-trip follow-up tracking.
  • Screen and triage incoming communications, flagging priority items to the Head of P&A and ensuring timely routing of requests.
  • Prepare expense reports and manage administrative processes on behalf of the Head of P&A.
  • Organize and coordinate internal and external meetings, including agenda preparation and logistics, ensuring the Head of P&A is set up for every engagement.
  • Track and manage project timelines, deliverables, and action items across initiatives owned by the Head of P&A, ensuring nothing slips and status is always visible.
  • Build and maintain project tracking systems that give the Head of P&A and CoS real-time visibility into progress, risks, and blockers.
  • Coordinate logistics for cross-functional workstreams: connecting the right people, scheduling working sessions, and ensuring outputs are documented and distributed.
  • Compile and format project status reports and stakeholder updates, gathering inputs for the Head of P&A's review before distribution.
  • Monitor project and scheduling risks, flagging conflicts or blockers early so the Head of P&A and CoS can act before issues escalate.
  • Maintain continuity in the Head of P&A's office during travel or high-demand periods: keeping schedules on track, communications triaged, and logistics running without interruption.
  • Compile, format, and edit presentations, briefings, and correspondence as directed by the Head of P&A or CoS.
  • Maintain the Head of P&A's operational rhythm: managing weekly scheduling priorities, tracking follow-ups, logging action items from leadership meetings, and chasing completion.
  • Act as the logistical point of contact between the Head of P&A's office and internal teams.
  • Own the logistical preparation for leadership and segment meetings: scheduling, agenda formatting, pre-read assembly, and distributing materials.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in an Executive Assistant, Administrative Business Partner, or similar role supporting senior leaders.
  • 2+ years of experience supporting project coordination, including tracking timelines, deliverables, action items, and stakeholder updates across multiple initiatives.
  • Proven experience managing complex calendars, travel logistics, meeting coordination, and executive administrative processes in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong proficiency in preparing agendas, pre-reads, presentations, status reports, and executive correspondence with a high degree of accuracy and professionalism.
  • Exceptional organizational, communication, and prioritization skills, with the ability to exercise sound judgment, maintain confidentiality, and proactively resolve issues.
  • Sense of urgency in managing situations that require quick turnaround and ability to prioritize constant workload.
  • Ability to work under tight timelines and proven track record of achieving/exceeding expectations.

Preferred Skills

  • Bachelor's Degree.
  • Experience supporting global organizations.

Benefits & Culture

  • Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: Includes supportive workplace policies, flexible work arrangements, and work-from-anywhere options.
  • Career Development: Culture of continuous learning with Grow My Way programming.
  • Competitive Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, 401k with match, flexible vacation, mental health days, and more.
  • Social Impact: Opportunities for volunteering and pro-bono consulting.

Compensation

The base compensation range for this role is $58,100 USD - $107,900 USD. Base pay is positioned within the range based on several factors including an individual's knowledge, skills, and experience. This role may also be eligible for an Annual Bonus.
