We're looking for a Sr. Executive Assistant/Lead Ops Specialist who will bring both organizational excellence and people skills to support our Los Angeles Regional Executive.

In this role, you'll be more than an administrator, you'll be a strategic partner who coordinates high-level projects, manages executive interactions, and ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Operational Support

• Maintain organized documentation and systems that keep information accessible
• Conduct research and analysis to support strategic decision-making

What You'll Bring

Experience & Education

• Typically, 4+ years in executive support, event coordination, project management, or operations
• Associate degree preferred
• Proven ability to interact confidently with senior executives and external partners

• Flexibility to adapt when priorities shift

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting C-level executives
• Event planning certification or experience with large-scale events (50+ attendees)
• Familiarity with event management platforms and virtual meeting tools

Why This Role Matters

You'll be the behind-the-scenes orchestrator who makes leadership effective and stakeholders feel valued. Your coordination expertise and relationship skills will have direct, visible impact across the organization. This is a role where your professionalism, initiative, and attention to detail will truly make a difference.

Ready to bring your coordination expertise to a role where it counts? We'd love to hear from you.
