About the role

Helen Ross McNabb Center seeks an Executive Assistant to deliver high-level administrative support to the Executive Vice Presidents and senior leadership. You will manage calendar schedules, prepare materials, and coordinate travel for executives in a fast-paced environment. The role involves data management, grant support, staff recruitment coordination, and event assistance, requiring discretion, confidentiality, and professional communication with internal and external partners.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
