Executive Assistant To Firm Leadership & Coo
Polaris Estate Planning & Elder Law is hiring an Executive Assistant to support firm leadership and our COO in a high-trust, operations-focused role. This is a senior executive support position for someone who is highly organized, attentive to detail, and takes pride in tracking priorities, capturing action items, and ensuring follow-through without repeated reminders.
