- Serve as a front-facing point of contact for the Branding and Communications department, communicating with internal and external stakeholders; screen telephone calls, inquiries, and requests while always maintaining confidentiality
- Coordinate regular team meetings and handle day-to-day ad hoc needs for the team and senior stakeholders
- Support the team’s working environment as needed (e.g., light tech troubleshooting, meeting room setup)
- Book all travel arrangements for senior team members, including after-hours support for travel issues as needed
- Prepare and process invoices, travel, and expense reports
- Connect day-to-day logistics to broader team goals, understanding how meetings, priorities, and relationships fit into the team’s ecosystem
- Support project management for selected team initiatives, including preparing documents and decks for executive review and tracking logistics
- Coordinate off-site team activities, including travel and logistically complex arrangements
- Act as a connector, team ambassador, and culture carrier—build strong relationships with other EAs and key stakeholders to ensure the team operates smoothly, support team events and culture initiatives, and be a flexible team member who can jump in wherever needed
Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment
- Must be able to work onsite 5 days per week in NYC
- Experience working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, preferably in financial services and/or a communications-focused organization
- Strong organizational and communication skills (written and verbal)
- High attention to detail; sound judgment and discretion with confidential matters
- Ability to multi-task, prioritize, and meet tight deadlines
- Self-directed and proactive; able to work independently
