Executive Assistant to the COO & CIO

Description

At POLYWOOD®... 

We don’t think of an Executive Assistant as a support role. 

We think of it as a force multiplier.

POLYWOOD is looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support both our Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Information Officer. These are leaders who move fast, think big, and expect excellence. This role is for someone who thrives in motion, anticipates needs before they surface, and brings structure to complexity without slowing momentum.

If you are wickedly talented, relentlessly organized, and energized by high-impact work at the center of the business, keep reading.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not calendar babysitting.

This is not reactive task management.

This is a strategic execution role for someone who:

• Can keep pace with a COO & CIO who operate at full throttle
• Acts as a trusted thought partner to senior leadership
• Owns projects end to end and makes chaos look effortless
• Elevates everyone around them through precision, judgment, and follow through

You will see more, know more, and influence more than most roles in the company.
