Position Overview

• Collaborate across departments to support strategic initiatives and executive priorities.
• Anticipate executive needs and proactively resolve issues before they become problems.
• Handle confidential and sensitive information with the highest level of discretion.

• Positive, solutions-oriented mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving.

• Ability to work a minimum of 40 hours per week, with additional hours as needed.
