    • Partnering with other Executive Admins in the Executive's organization and setting a plan with other members of the administrative staff to ensure constant coverage.

    • Developing processes for maintaining team records and training other administrative personnel on procedures while safeguarding confidential information.

    • Organizing and coordinating the operation of an office overseeing and managing the provisioning of supplies, equipment, and services that enable the staff to perform their jobs effectively.

    • Establishing relationships and a strong network with internal executive administrative teams, as well as external administrative teams of our partners.

    • Acting as representative and ambassador to external constituents as needed.

    • Performing ad hoc project-related duties as requested.

    You'll need to have:

    • Bachelor's degree or one or more years of work experience.

    • Project management experience.

    • Executive support experience.

    • Willingness to travel.

    • Ability to work a hybrid schedule based out of Basking Ridge, NJ with assigned office days (VCG in office days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday).

    Even better if you have one or more of the following:

    • Solid proficiency with Web-ex, Google Suite, Microsoft Office, and Slack.

    • Strong culture building across teams to keep employees informed and engaged through coordination and moderation of various governance activities.

    • Demonstrated strong verbal and written communications.

    • Ability to collaborate with internal and external partners.

    • Experience juggling multiple high priority projects with the ability to stay organized and meet deadlines.
