About the role
Talisman is partnering with a leading North American renewable energy owner and operator on the search for an Executive Assistant to the CEO. The company is backed by a major global infrastructure investor and runs a large utility-scale wind, solar and battery storage portfolio across the US and Canada. It’s headquartered in New York City and has a culture built on integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement - it invests heavily in developing its people.
The role:
This is a high-impact, business-focused role at the center of the leadership team. Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll be his primary point of support and will help the other three members of the C-suite as needed. The company is looking for someone sharp, detail-oriented, and tech-savvy who moves quickly and uses good judgment.

- Own the CEO’s calendar and appointments end to end, managing a complex, frequently changing schedule in line with his priorities
- Run the full experience of key meetings, including logistics, materials, visitors, catering and videoconferencing, working with IT to make sure the technology is tested beforehand
- Coordinate leadership meetings, Board meetings, executive off-sites, town halls and other high-profile events
- Anticipate needs, spot conflicts early and bring forward recommended solutions
- Confirm expectations and decision authority when direction is unclear, and keep leaders informed of progress and changes
- Follow up on requests, decisions and action items until they’re completed
- About you4–8 years of experience supporting C-level or senior executives in a fast-paced organization. Experience in energy, infrastructure or financial services is a plus, however solid CEO-level support at any large organization will be considered
- A background in a corporate, private equity or asset management environment is also welcome
- Highly organized and tech-savvy, with advanced Microsoft Office skills
- Proactive without overstepping, with a clear sense of when to act and when to escalate
- Exceptional attention to detail
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Discreet and professional with confidential information
- Calm and solutions-focused under pressure

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.
