Executive Assistant to the SimVentions Executive Leadership Team (ELT)

SimVentions is 100% employee-owned and proudly ranked among Virginia’s Best Places to Work year after year. We are seeking a highly capable, professional, and trusted Executive Assistant to support the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).

About the Role

This role is responsible for helping maximize executive effectiveness by managing calendars, priorities, communications, meetings, travel, expenses, logistics, records, and executive support processes with accuracy, discretion, and sound judgment. The Executive Assistant will serve as a key coordination point for executive leadership, internal stakeholders, external partners, customers, and community relationships.

The ideal candidate will be organized, proactive, dependable, detail-oriented, and able to operate with professionalism in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. This position requires someone who understands that executive support is not simply administrative task completion—it is the disciplined coordination of time, information, relationships, and follow-through so executive leaders can focus on the highest-value work of the company.

Work Environment

This is primarily an in-office position due to the nature of executive support, stakeholder coordination, confidential information flow, meeting support, visitor engagement, and the need to remain closely connected to the daily operating rhythm of the executive office. Occasional work from home may be considered when the schedule, priorities, and business needs allow, but regular on-site presence is expected. The role may require flexibility to support changing schedules, time-sensitive priorities, customer engagements, community events, and executive commitments.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience providing administrative or executive-level support in a professional environment.
• Strong calendar management, scheduling, travel planning, meeting coordination, and expense management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and logistics at the same time.
• High degree of discretion, integrity, and judgment when handling confidential or sensitive information.
• Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, follow through on commitments, and adapt quickly when priorities change.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Teams, with the ability to learn additional company systems and tools.
• Professional presence, customer-service mindset, and ability to represent executive leadership and SimVentions well.

• Exercise sound judgment in prioritizing requests, escalating issues, communicating on behalf of executives, and representing the executive office.
• Build strong working relationships across the company while maintaining professionalism, confidentiality, and enterprise awareness.

Process Improvement and Scalability

• Identify opportunities to improve executive support processes, administrative workflows, meeting rhythms, templates, communication coordination, travel planning, records management, and follow-up systems.
• Help create consistency and scalability across executive leadership support by documenting repeatable processes and improving handoffs, tools, and coordination methods.
• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to the role by looking for ways to reduce friction, improve clarity, increase efficiency, and strengthen execution across the executive office.

• Experience supporting C-suite executives, senior leaders, or executive leadership teams.
• Experience supporting corporate events, leadership meetings, Board-related activities, employee communications, or company-wide communications.
