Description

At Guiding Eyes for the Blind, we provide guide dogs to people with vision loss. We are passionate about connecting exceptional dogs with individuals for greater independence.

As the Executive Assistant, you will work directly with the President/CEO as the person who keeps their day running - the glue that holds everything together. You will provide a high level of administrative support including, but not limited to, maintaining impeccable calendar and email management, completing expense reports, composing and preparing correspondence that is at times confidential, arranging complex and detailed travel plans, itineraries and agendas and compiling documents for travel-related meetings. The ideal individual will have the ability to exercise good judgement in a variety of situations, with strong written and verbal communication, administrative, and organizational skills along with the ability to maintain a realistic balance among multiple priorities.

For this role, you will be capable of working independently on projects from conception to completion and must be able to work under pressure at times to handle a wide variety of activities and matters with discretion. You will use your calm demeanor and quick thinking to keep others on task and focused on the priority of the moment, which can change rapidly. You will have solid experience performing administrative duties and providing support to C-Suite executives.
