Job Description
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in executive administration, executive support, or a similar role in a fast-paced environment
- Experience directly supporting senior or C-suite executives with complex, high-volume calendars
- Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail — you follow through, every time
- Sound judgment and discretion; able to handle sensitive information and navigate ambiguous situations with maturity
- Comfortable using AI tools in your day-to-day work, with a genuine interest in how they can create leverage (scheduling assistants, transcription tools, meeting prep, etc.)
- Collaborative team player who understands that great executive support is a team sport, not a solo act
- Clear, professional communicator — written and verbal — who can represent executives with confidence
- Thrives in a dynamic, high-growth environment where priorities shift and speed matters
What the job involves
- Flex is seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Executive Administrator to join our growing executive support function and directly support a pod of senior leaders. This role sits at the center of how Flex’s executive team operates — protecting time, enabling focus, and ensuring the coordination that powers our leadership runs smoothly and intentionally
- As Flex scales rapidly, this is not a traditional administrative role. Executive Administrators at Flex are expected to be genuine partners to the leaders they support — understanding priorities, exercising judgment, and operating as part of a coordinated team rather than optimizing in isolation
- You’ll work closely with the Manager, Executive Administration and peer EAs to ensure cross-executive scheduling reflects org-wide priorities, not just individual availability
- Own end-to-end calendar management for a pod of 2–3 senior executives, including scheduling, rescheduling, and proactive prioritization
- Manage competing demands with judgment — pushing back, protecting focus time, and escalating tradeoffs when appropriate
- Coordinate cross-executive scheduling in partnership with peer EAs, with an org-wide lens on how time is being used
- Maintain meeting hygiene standards: appropriate durations, clear agendas, and timely prep materials
- Book and manage business travel for supported executives, including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itineraries
- Anticipate logistics needs and proactively solve for complications before they become problems
- Support coordination of leadership offsites, board meetings, and all-hands logistics as needed
- Prepare briefing materials, agendas, and context documents ahead of key meetings
- Leverage AI transcription and action-tracking tools to capture outputs and ensure follow-through from executive meetings
- Help executives stay on top of commitments and action items that emerge from high-priority meetings
- Use AI scheduling and productivity tools as a core part of your workflow — for calendar analysis, meeting prep, transcription, and logistics research
- Contribute to the team’s evolving AI tooling practices by sharing what’s working and helping refine approaches over time
- Participate in weekly EA team alignment and contribute to a coordinated, high-trust team dynamic
- Partner with the Manager, Executive Administration to flag coordination issues, capacity concerns, or process gaps
- Contribute to playbooks and documentation that help the function scale consistently
