  • Executive Support: Prepare presentations, meeting agendas, and correspondence. Occasionally respond or send communications on behalf of executives.

  • Team Engagement: Help executives stay connected with their teams by tracking birthdays, work anniversaries, and other milestones.

  • Operational Assistance: Manage access requests, time-off tracking, and other administrative processes.

  • Daily Collaboration: Partner closely with executives to review upcoming priorities, meetings, and deliverables.

Education and Experience Required:

  • Associate's degree, or equivalent work experience.

  • 4+ years of progressive administrative support experience, preferably supporting executives.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experienced Career Admin: Proven success supporting senior leaders in a corporate setting.

  • Proactive Problem Solver: Anticipates needs, identifies solutions, and takes initiative without waiting for direction.

  • Organizational Expert: Skilled in managing complex calendars, email prioritization, and multiple projects simultaneously.

  • Detail-Oriented & Reliable: Strong attention to detail for expense reporting, travel arrangements, and event planning.

  • Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with the Microsoft Office Suite and other productivity tools.

  • Relationship Builder: Professional, approachable, and committed to helping executives lead effectively.

  • Growth Mindset: Eager to learn and grow within the organization.

Work Model/Office Location:

  • This is a hybrid position requiring four days in office per week.

  • Eligible candidates must live within commuting distance to 115 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110.

Required Availability:
