About the role

We're looking for a highly organized, proactive Executive Assistant to support our President. This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys operating behind the scenes to keep executives focused on the highest-value work. As Encore continues to grow, this position is expected to expand, making it an exciting opportunity to grow alongside the business. This isn't a traditional administrative role. You'll be a trusted partner responsible for anticipating needs, solving problems before they arise, and bringing order to an incredibly fast-moving environment. If you're energized by juggling competing priorities, thrive under pressure, and enjoy working with senior leadership, we'd love to meet you.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary strategic administrative partner to the President.
  • Manage complex calendars, balancing changing priorities and business demands.
  • Coordinate domestic travel, meeting logistics, and executive itineraries.
  • Prepare agendas, presentations, reports, meeting materials, and executive correspondence.
  • Organize leadership meetings, capture action items, and follow up to ensure timely completion.
  • Act as a gatekeeper for executive priorities, exercising sound judgment and discretion when handling requests.
  • Partner with senior leaders across Operations, Sales, Finance, HR, and other departments to coordinate initiatives.
  • Assist with board materials, leadership off-sites, and company-wide meetings.
  • Manage confidential and highly sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.
  • Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and create efficiencies.
  • Support special projects and strategic initiatives as assigned.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience supporting C-level executives or senior leadership in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • Experience managing complex calendars with constantly shifting priorities.
  • Experience coordinating travel and executive meetings.

Skills

  • Exceptional organizational and time management skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • High attention to detail with excellent follow-through.
  • Proven ability to prioritize multiple competing demands with minimal direction.
  • Strong judgment, professionalism, and discretion when handling confidential information.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and Microsoft Teams.
  • A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset with the ability to anticipate executive needs before they arise.

Qualifications

  • Experience supporting executives within a private equity‑backed, high‑growth organization.
  • Experience supporting multiple executives simultaneously.
  • Experience coordinating executive leadership meetings or board meetings.
