Executive Assistant to the CEO / Executive Operations Coordinator

Position Summary

The Executive Assistant to the CEO / Executive Operations Coordinator provides high-level administrative, organizational, and operational support to the CEO and Executive Team. This position helps keep executive priorities, meetings, projects, communications, and follow-up activities organized and moving forward.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working directly with senior leadership, managing competing priorities, coordinating cross-functional work, identifying issues before they become problems, and operating independently with limited day-to-day direction.

The position requires a high level of discretion because it involves access to confidential executive, employee, financial, clinical, legal, operational, and organizational information.
