• Sustain complex daily calendars, including internal meetings, external meetings, and cross‑organizational coordination.
• Proactively screen, triage, and manage emails across multiple inboxes; respond independently where appropriate and escalate when needed.
• Prepare Word, Excel, and PowerPoint presentations, agendas, reports, special projects, and other documentation in support of organizational objectives.
• Arrange travel (including complex trips) and prepare expense reports in accordance with company policy.
• Draft and prepare correspondence for internal communications and external stakeholders associated with VP roles and responsibilities.
• Conserve VPs’ time by reading, researching, and collecting information in advance of meetings and decision points.
• Organize and reconcile complex schedules, resolving conflicts proactively and efficiently.
• Complete ad hoc projects as assigned, including offsite meetings, internal events, and special initiatives.
• Represent the company and VPs in a professional and positive manner through strong follow‑through and sound judgment.
• Be responsive to emails, texts, and phone calls; availability outside of normal business hours may be required during travel periods.
• Use discretion, confidentiality, and good judgment when handling VP‑level matters.
• Provide general assistance to visitors and support office‑based needs as required.
