Senior Executive Assistant to CMO
About the role
The Marketing team at GEICO needs to move fast, stay organized, and show up well in every room. Making that possible is a real competitive advantage and a must-do. That's where this role comes in. This Executive Assistant will be the operational backbone for the CMO. You'll manage the calendar, the logistics, the details, and the moments that matter — from a high-stakes executive offsite to a last-minute travel change to making sure a leader walks into a meeting with everything they need. You'll also bring a hospitality mindset to everything you touch: anticipating needs before they're expressed, handling the personal and professional with equal grace, and making the office feel like a place people want to be.

Event Planning and Hospitality Support planning and execution of team events, offsites, leadership dinners, and internal gatherings — handling venue sourcing, catering, AV, run-of-show, and on-site coordination.

Work with the Chief of Staff and Marketing Operations team to support external-facing moments — agency meetings, partner visits, executive presentations — ensuring the environment and logistics reflect well on the team.
