Job Description

Work on Events the World Talks About

At Arena Americas, we breathe life into space — designing, building, and delivering the temporary structures and event environments behind some of the world's most celebrated events. Behind every seamless event is a team that runs just as smoothly, and that's exactly where you come in.

As our Executive Support Coordinator, you'll be the steady hand behind the CEO and senior leadership — anticipating needs before they're spoken, managing competing priorities with ease, and keeping our executives ready for whatever the day brings. This role goes well beyond traditional administrative support: it calls for sharp judgment, and the confidence to operate with real autonomy, whether you're driving a business initiative forward, aligning teams across functions, or polishing a communication before it goes out. And in everything you do, you'll model Arena's values — Excellence, Collaboration, Diversity, Integrity, Accountability, and Empathy — handling sensitive matters with the discretion and professionalism this seat demands.
