Milton Hershey School (MHS) is one of the world's best pre-K through 12th grade private schools, where approximately 2,200 students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided with a cost-free home and a top-notch education. Thanks to the generosity of Milton and Catherine Hershey in 1909, the school is fully endowed today, with the resources to ensure students can thrive. The school has prepared over 12,000 graduates to lead fulfilling and productive lives and is expanding to serve more students.

MHS is seeking an Executive Assistant (EA) to the Vice-President (VP) of Communications & Marketing. The EA is responsible for the support and coordination of the department including operations, planning, budget management, and assets development for the VP. The EA should have strong organizational skills to effectively handle competing and changing priorities with keen attention to detail, accuracy, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment. This includes preparing presentations, reports, and other executive materials, as well as handing inquiries and collaborating with other organizational EAs. Initiative and follow-through on projects are essential, as is the ability to always maintain confidentiality and exhibit school values.

The EA also acts as the team's office manager, which includes extensive scheduling, fiscal responsibilities, and other administrative responsibilities. In addition to the VP support responsibilities, the EA assists in coordinating Communications and Marketing activities and events as they support MHS strategic goals. This role also supports special projects and provides communications and marketing support with a broad understanding of the discipline. This is an on-site, year-round position that compensates between $61K- $82K, plus an excellent benefits package.
