  • Create a welcoming, polished office experience for employees and visitors
  • Support internal events, onboarding, and culture-building moments
  • This role will evolve with the organization. The responsibilities outlined are foundational, and the position may take on additional duties to support the growing needs of Aparium.
What You Bring
  • 3-5+ years supporting senior executives in a fast-paced environment
  • Exceptional organization, discretion, and attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and a hospitality-driven mindset
  • Comfort juggling shifting priorities and staying several steps ahead
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
