• Handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and discretion

Project & Program Management

• Own and track strategic workstreams, initiatives, and executive priorities
• Coordinate cross-functional projects across leadership teams and stakeholders
• Maintain project plans, risk registers, status reporting, and operating cadences
• Drive initiatives from kickoff through execution and completion

Deliverables & Business Operations

• Build executive-level presentations, memos, board materials, and reports
• Support data analysis, spreadsheet modeling, and business reporting
• Ensure accuracy, formatting discipline, and high-quality output across all deliverables

AI-Native Execution

• Automate and accelerate recurring workflows, reporting, research, meeting recaps, and content creation
• Engineer prompts, workflows, and AI-assisted systems that increase operational leverage and productivity
• Maintain strong judgment and quality control over AI-generated output

• 2+ years supporting senior executives in high-growth, fast-paced environments
• Experience managing projects, programs, or cross-functional initiatives
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets and PowerPoint / Google Slides
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with exceptional attention to detail
• Demonstrated daily use of AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) in a professional workflow
• Experience with project management tools such as Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Notion, or Smartsheet
• High discretion, professionalism, and ability to manage confidential information
