As an Executive Assistant, you’ll provide dedicated, high-trust support to Patriot’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Information Officer. By managing executive priorities, evaluating competing requests, and exercising independent judgment within delegated authority, you’ll help both leaders focus their time and attention on critical business needs.
Your responsibilities will include complex calendars, travel, communications, and selected operational and technology assignments.

The role includes limited travel for occasional offsite meetings, conferences, or board sessions, along with occasional availability outside standard business hours.
How You’ll Make an Impact

- Determine which requests require executive attention and which can be resolved, redirected, delegated, deferred, or declined within established decision rights.
- Resolve competing demands within delegated authority, recommending tradeoffs and escalating conflicts that require executive alignment.
- Prepare both executives for daily and weekly commitments with clear priorities, relevant background, and required materials.
- Coordinate internal and external meetings, including agendas, participants, materials, logistics, and follow-up actions.
- Arrange flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itineraries, responding promptly to last-minute travel and schedule changes.
- Support leadership meetings, technology reviews, vendor discussions, operational planning sessions, and board-related engagements.
- Draft and manage correspondence that accurately reflects each executive’s voice, priorities, and direction.
- Serve as an authorized contact for internal and external stakeholders, resolving inquiries and communicating executive direction within explicitly delegated authority.
- Assess incoming issues for urgency and business impact, determine the appropriate response or escalation path, and prepare recommendations when executive decisions are required.
- Handle confidential business, personnel, financial, operational, and technology information with discretion.
- Evaluate sensitive matters and available response options, taking appropriate action within delegated authority and involving executives or functional specialists when needed.
- Manage selected executive-sponsored operational and technology assignments from problem definition through completion, determining the approach, coordinating contributors, and evaluating alternatives.
- Research and synthesize information into briefings, presentations, and reports that clearly identify issues, alternatives, risks, business implications, and recommended actions.
- Track executive commitments and deadlines, assess delivery barriers, and recommend changes to sequencing, responsibilities, or approach when needed.
- Coordinate activities related to technology implementations, IT governance, operational improvements, and cross-functional projects.
- Partner with other executive assistants and teams across IT, Operations, Finance, HR, and other functions to maintain communication and follow-through.
- Recommend improvements to executive-office workflows and implement approved changes that strengthen prioritization and decision readiness.
Who You Are

- Proactive and organized, anticipating needs and bringing structure to changing priorities.
