Executive Assistant

NEW!! Executive Assistant, Nonprofit Executive Office, Inwood (Manhattan borough), hybrid (4 days weekly in office generally)

About the Company/Role: Hiring organization is anything but a typical nonprofit — this is a rapidly scaling organization that has been expanding at a pace more typical of a fast-growing startup than a traditional mission-driven employer. As it continues to grow, the CEO needs a true right hand: someone who thrives on intensity, moves fast, and takes ownership of a calendar that never stops.

This is an opportunity for someone who has already built real command of high-touch executive support — juggling competing priorities under pressure, running point on complex logistics, and staying several steps ahead of a demanding leader — and is looking for a role that matches that level of capability.

What you'll do:

• Own the CEO's calendar in real time — resolving conflicts, protecting focus time, and weaving in urgent external meetings without missing a beat
• Prepare the CEO for every meeting: materials, background, agendas, and logistics, so nothing is left to chance
• Keep the CEO on schedule throughout the day, coordinating internal teams and greeting external stakeholders with polish
• Plan a full year of recurring commitments in advance — board meetings, leadership events, organization-wide gatherings — down to the smallest detail
• Serve as a trusted voice on the CEO's behalf, drafting communications and representing the CEO's intent with precision
• Support event planning and external stakeholder engagement, including politically sensitive, high-visibility situations that call for excellent judgment

You are:

• Energized by speed and intensity, not overwhelmed by it, and enjoy the satisfaction of making a real impact for the executive you support, as well as for the overall organization
• A fast learner who takes structure and feedback seriously — and welcomes the practice of continuous improvement
• A sharp communicator with excellent judgment and impeccable writing
• Mission-driven at your core — you want your day-to-day work to add up to something meaningful, and you bring that energy to whatever organization you're part of

This is a mission-driven organization — not political, not religious — but built with the discipline, pace, and standards of a high-growth company. If you want a role that will stretch you, teach you, and reward you for showing up ready to work hard, this may be your match!
