Our client, a global portfolio company with multiple well-known consumer and lifestyle brands , is seeking a highly polished and strategic Executive Assistant to support two senior HR leaders across the organization.

Work Model: Hybrid, 3 days onsite per week

Compensation: $45-50/hour

What You’ll Do

• Provide dedicated executive support to two senior HR leaders across multiple brands and stakeholder groups.
• Manage complex, highly fluid calendars with frequent changes and competing priorities.
• Coordinate executive meetings, travel, logistics, scheduling, and day-to-day priorities with minimal direction.
• Move seamlessly between teams, offices, and leadership groups depending on business needs.
• Anticipate needs before they arise and proactively flag scheduling, communication, or logistical issues.
• Track important details, connect information across teams, and help ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Build strong working relationships across the organization and serve as a trusted point of contact for internal stakeholders.
• Handle highly confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
• Support occasional day-to-day executive needs during especially busy periods while maintaining appropriate boundaries for an EA role.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Executive Assistant experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced, complex organization. MUST have experience supporting more than one executive at a time.
• Exceptional calendar management and prioritization skills.
• High emotional intelligence, sound judgment, and strong situational awareness.
• Ability to remain calm and organized when priorities shift quickly.
• Strong communication skills and polished executive presence.
• Natural relationship builder who works well across functions and levels.
• Proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate needs rather than wait for direction.
• Highly trustworthy and comfortable handling sensitive and confidential information.
• Flexible, positive, curious, and comfortable asking questions when needed.
• Service-oriented and collaborative, without a rigid “that’s not my job” mindset.

Ideal Background

Industry experience is flexible. The team is most focused on maturity, capability, temperament, and executive support experience . Candidates from environments such as financial services, luxury, consumer, retail, technology, or other fast-paced corporate settings may be especially well aligned.

The Ideal Candidate

This person is more than a calendar manager. They are a trusted strategic partner who can anticipate needs, connect the dots across the business, navigate ambiguity, protect confidentiality, and make a complex environment feel organized and seamless.

The biggest challenge — and opportunity — in this role is supporting two highly demanding senior executives simultaneously while managing constant change and making it all look effortless.
