Document & File Management: Organize and maintain confidential records, files, and documents with a high standard of accuracy and security.
Stakeholder Coordination: Serve as a professional first point of contact for the CEO — liaising with attorneys, staff, clients, and external parties, and ensuring smooth communication and workflow across the firm.
Special Projects & Personal Logistics: Handle ad hoc projects and time-sensitive personal logistics for the CEO as needed, with reliability and discretion.
Qualifications
Experience: 3+ years supporting a senior executive, managing partner, or equivalent principal —ideally in a law firm or professional services environment.

Organization: Exceptional organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and shifting demands without losing accuracy.
Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable drafting correspondence on behalf of firm leadership.
Anticipation: A proactive, anticipatory working style — someone who sees what’s needed before being asked and takes ownership of it.
Technical Fluency: Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace; comfort learning firm systems, including legal case-management and document-management software

Prior experience in a law firm, particularly supporting a partner or firm leader.
