Executive Assistant

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. You’ll need to know what you can handle on your own and when to check with an executive before making a commitment for them.

Key responsibilities

• 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 you

• 4–8 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
