Are you organized, proactive, and energized by supporting purpose-driven leadership? ART INC is seeking a highly capable Executive Assistant to provide strategic and administrative support to the CEO. This individual will play a vital role in protecting the CEO’s time, aligning daily operations with big-picture goals, and helping maintain momentum across multiple initiatives.

This is a high-trust role best suited for someone who thrives in a dynamic, mission-focused environment. We are looking for a detail-oriented, values-aligned individual who brings humility, initiative, and clarity to everything they do. This is not a role for someone seeking status or prestige; it’s an opportunity to support visionary leadership with consistency, care, and confidence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage CEO’s calendar, travel, meetings, and communications
  • Coordinate events, fundraisers, speaking engagements, and follow-up tasks
  • Track deadlines, deliverables, and project progress across departments
  • Draft and edit internal and external communications & marketing materials
  • Prepare agendas, reports, and presentation materials for meetings
  • Serve as onsite support during events, meetings, and organizational functions
  • Maintain an in-person presence at ART INC headquarters
  • Provide administrative coordination at all times and especially during CEO absences
  • Handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion

Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in executive or administrative support
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Demonstrated ability to turn verbal instructions into actionable results
  • Organized, self-motivated, and accountable
  • Strong emotional intelligence, discretion, and professionalism
  • Technologically fluent in Microsoft Office, Adobe, Canva, and project management tools
  • Mission-aligned with an interest in nonprofit leadership, community engagement, or the arts
  • Team player mindset with humility and strong work ethic

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary of $52,000/year
  • Health benefits package
  • Professional development and leadership exposure
  • Access to community events and organizational initiatives
  • A collaborative work culture centered on equity, impact, and purpose

Attention to Detail Requirement

Please include this sentence exactly in your cover letter or video: “I’m ready to support a mission-driven CEO with clarity, consistency, and care.”

Applications that do not include this phrase will not be considered.

How to Apply: All applications must be submitted through our BambooHR portal and must include:

  • Resume
  • Cover letter
  • Responses to the following four questions:
  • What professional experience or skillset makes you uniquely suited to support a busy executive leader? (We’re looking for specific, results-oriented examples that demonstrate your ability to anticipate needs, manage complexity, and create efficiency.)
  • Describe a time you proactively solved a problem or improved a system in an executive or administrative support role. (How did you identify the issue, what action did you take, and what was the result?)
  • What is your approach to time management and prioritization when juggling multiple high-stakes responsibilities? (Tell us how you organize your work, maintain alignment with leadership goals, and navigate shifting priorities.)
  • What does “servant leadership” or “purpose-driven support” mean to you? (We’re interested in your personal philosophy and how it shows up in your professional approach to executive support.)

ART INC is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds, especially those from historically marginalized communities, to apply. We value both lived experience and professional expertise.
