Executive Assistant - Temporary

We are hiring an Executive Assistant for a four-month assignment to support the CEO, COO, and EVP, Global Commercial Operations.

The day typically begins with reviewing executives’ calendars, triaging overnight emails, and flagging time-sensitive items ahead of the first meeting. Throughout the day, the Executive Assistant partners with senior leaders across the organization to schedule cross-functional meetings, prepare briefing materials and agendas, and capture follow-ups.

Afternoons often focus on booking complex domestic and international travel, processing expense reports, preparing presentations and board-ready materials, and coordinating with other executive assistants to align leadership meetings. The day concludes by confirming the next day’s priorities with the executive team and ensuring all logistics are in place.
