• Coordinate board and committee meetings, materials, agendas, and follow-up activities.
• Serve as a professional liaison with executives, board members, donors, community partners, and other stakeholders.
• Screen and prioritize incoming communications, ensuring timely responses and follow-through.
• Support donor relations activities and special events in partnership with the Advancement team.
• Lead and coordinate special projects, executive initiatives, and cross-functional efforts.
• Process invoices, reconcile expense reports, and maintain accurate administrative records.
• Handle highly confidential information with exceptional professionalism, judgment, and discretion.

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates will bring:

• Five or more years of progressive administrative experience, preferably supporting senior-level executives.
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
• Advanced organizational, prioritization, and time-management abilities.
• Strong proofreading, editing, and document preparation skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail and accuracy.
• Professional presence and the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
• High integrity and the ability to maintain confidentiality.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Zoom, and other collaboration tools.
• Experience with board management or project management software preferred.
