Overview of the Position

The Executive Assistant provides direct, daily support to the CEO, some administrative support to the Executive Leadership Team, and acts as an office manager for the corporate office. This role reports directly to the CEO but will work cross-functionally, collaboratively and with little CEO oversight with virtually all of the corporate office staff. A successful person in this role is the hub of much of the fast-paced activity of our business and a critical partner to the CEO – “I'm on it!” is the catchphrase of this job. This person must be able to operate and tackle with enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail issues both high and low – from working with the Board of Directors to ordering office supplies. Although the official duties are detailed below, this is a person who becomes valuable because s/he jumps in where there is a need and gets it done. This can be a career EA position or a stepping-stone to a career path role within the Tandy organization.
