Executive Assistant

About the role

Forterra seeks an experienced Executive Assistant to provide high-level support in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. This role is responsible for managing complex priorities, anticipating needs, and ensuring leaders can operate efficiently and stay focused on the highest-impact work. The Executive Assistant will serve as a trusted partner, managing calendars, travel, meetings, communications, and day-to-day coordination while helping drive follow-through across a wide range of priorities. Forterra is a fast-growing company operating in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly. Consistent with this growth, our Executive Assistants must be highly organized, resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable exercising independent judgment. Success in this role requires more than strong administrative skills—you should be able to understand the broader context behind requests, anticipate what is needed before being asked, identify and resolve conflicts, and confidently manage competing priorities. The ideal candidate is proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with senior leaders and teams across the organization. You will handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion, build strong relationships internally and externally, and help create the structure and operating rhythms that allow leaders and teams to work
