  • Prepare, proofread, and format internal and external communications, documents, and presentations
  • Cookout and coordinate meetings, including scheduling, logistics, materials preparation, and follow-ups
  • Act as a “traffic coordinator” for the executive team - managing workflow, priorities, and information flow across the organization
  • Support sales-related administrative functions, including managing prospect and client communications, tracking interactions, and maintaining accurate records in CRM systems
  • Cookout and assist in organizing and following up on sales opportunities, ensuring timely responses and alignment with leadership priorities
  • Oversee and help manage CEO-related projects and priorities using project management tools, ensuring visibility, organization, and follow-through across key initiatives
  • Maintain and update systems (CRM, project management platforms, and internal trackers) to ensure accurate, up-to-date information and smooth coordination across teams
  • Maintain organized systems for files, contacts, and key documents
  • Support day-to-day office and administrative needs as they arise, including ad hoc tasks
  • Build strong working relationships across teams and represent the CEOs with professionalism and approachability
  • Maintain strict confidentiality and handle sensitive information with discretion

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in an administrative, executive assistant, or office management role
  • Strong organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail and follow-through
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and keep processes running smoothly in a fast-paced environment
  • Comfortable handling both high-level communications and routine administrative tasks
  • Experience supporting sales processes or working within a CRM system; familiarity with NetSuite is a plus
  • Experience using project management tools (such as Monday.com or similar platforms) to track tasks, deadlines, and priorities
  • Strong systems orientation with the ability to keep tools, data, and workflows organized and up to date
  • Strong interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence; able to adapt to different personalities and working styles
  • Able to anticipate needs, stay organized under pressure, and remain flexible
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace
  • Professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment in handling confidential information
  • Experience supporting multiple executives is a plus
