Responsibilities

The Executive Secretary is responsible for providing administrative support to Vice Presidents and their reporting leadership. Duties include managing executives' calendars, organizing meetings and travel arrangements, preparing reports and presentations, handling confidential information, and acting as a liaison between the executive and other staff members.As this position provides direct support to a specific leader, it is important to note that if the leader leaves or changes roles, the Executive Secretary's role and responsibilities may also change as they are closely tied to support a specific leader. Flexibility and adaptability are key attributes for this role. Ideal candidatewould have experience with:

  • Strategic Scheduling: Ability to understand the "domino effect" of meetings. If one meeting is cancelled, the candidate must anticipate which subsequent meetings are impacted and proactively adjust.
  • Confidentiality: Handling extremely sensitive information regarding negotiations and discussions with affiliates.

  • Critical Thinking: Moving beyond basic administrative tasks to anticipate needs before they arise.
  • Multitasking & Prioritization: Staying organized under high pressure (e.g., handling 2:00 AM email changes for an 8:30 AM meeting).
