About the role
Keep the calendar running smoothly, make travel painless, own the expense process, and be the behind-the-scenes MVP for executives at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Responsibilities
- Own executive calendars end-to-end — scheduling meetings, blocking focus time, and juggling last-minute changes.
- Make the call on scheduling conflicts, prioritizing what actually matters.
- Set up meetings that just work — rooms booked, video links sent, the right people looped in.
- Stay a step ahead, spotting scheduling issues before they become problems.
- Put together daily/weekly briefings so execs walk into every meeting prepped.
- Send the reminders and follow-ups that keep everyone on track.
- Book flights, hotels, cars, and everything in between for domestic and international trips.
- Build itineraries people actually want to use — clear, realistic, and accounting for time zones and layovers.
- Handle the chaos when a flight gets delayed or canceled — rebook fast, keep everyone calm.
- Know the loyalty programs, preferred vendors, and travel policy inside and out.
- Be the person executives can text when something goes not as planned.
- Handle visa, passport, and documentation logistics so international trips go smoothly.
- Prep and submit expense reports accurately and on time.
- Track travel spend and give execs and the Chief of Staff a clear picture, regularly.
- Work with Finance to make sure reimbursements happen fast.
- Keep records organized and audit-ready.
- Spot ways to save on travel costs and help keep spending on policy.
- Handle confidential info with discretion — you're trusted with the details that matter.
- Draft correspondence, prep materials, and track follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Keep digital files organized so anything can be found in seconds, not hours.
- Jump into special projects and new challenges as they come up — variety is part of the job.
Requirements
- 2+ years in an EA, coordinator, or admin role — internships and fast-paced service jobs count too.
- Experience juggling calendars and booking travel (bonus points if you've planned a multi-leg trip for someone else — or yourself).
- Comfort with numbers — reconciling expenses or managing a budget, even informally, is a plus.
- Solid Microsoft 365 skills (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel); bonus if you've used tools like Concur or similar.
- Clear, confident communication — written and verbal.
- An eye for detail that borders on obsessive (in a good way).
- The ability to stay cool and adapt when plans change fast, including outside 9-to-5.
- Trustworthiness and good judgment — you'll be handling sensitive info from day one.
- A self-starter mindset, with the collaboration skills to work well across teams.
- Flexibility and a genuine curiosity about how businesses operate.
- High School Diploma required.
