Calendar, Time & Stakeholder Management

• Coordinate global meetings across time zones, often involving last‑minute changes and confidential subject matter.

Required:

• 10+ years of experience supporting C‑suite and/or Senior Vice President‑level executives within a large, complex organization.
• Demonstrated experience supporting multiple executives or enterprise‑level leadership teams.
• Proven ability to operate independently, make sound decisions, and manage ambiguity in fast‑paced environments.
