  • Proven ability to support multiple executives simultaneously while managing competing priorities

  • Exceptional attention to detail with a track record of accuracy in scheduling, travel, and expense management

  • Strong anticipation skills with the ability to think several steps ahead

  • Highly organized, self-directed, and motivated to drive outcomes without constant direction

  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills

  • Confidence navigating ambiguity and making informed decisions independently

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, Teams, and enterprise tools such as Workday and Concur
