The Senior Executive Administrator will help ensure that priorities are executed with precision, meetings and communications are handled seamlessly, and critical follow-up items do not fall through the cracks. This role is based on-site in State College, Pennsylvania and is best suited for a professional who thrives in a high-expectation environment and takes pride in delivering exceptional executive support.

What You’ll Do

• Manage a complex and ever-changing executive calendar, including scheduling, prioritization, confirmations, and coordination across internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure meetings, follow-ups, correspondence, and action items are tracked and completed accurately and on time.
• Prepare, draft, edit, and coordinate executive communications, including emails, letters, summaries, and outreach to senior business leaders and external contacts.
• Serve as a key point of coordination for executive office operations, helping create greater efficiency, organization, and consistency in day-to-day support activities.
• Anticipate needs, identify gaps, and proactively resolve issues before they become obstacles.
• Partner closely with internal teams, including executive leadership, marketing, HR, and administrative support staff, to ensure alignment and smooth execution of priorities.
• Support executive outreach and relationship management with high-level business contacts, industry leaders, and strategic partners.
• Prepare meeting materials, agendas, briefing documents, and post-meeting follow-up summaries as needed.
• Help coordinate executive office workflow and delegate or oversee routine administrative support activities when appropriate.
• Maintain strict confidentiality and handle sensitive information with the highest level of professionalism and discretion.
• Bring structure and organization to evolving priorities while remaining flexible and responsive to changing business needs.
• Leverage modern tools, including AI-enabled productivity tools and digital collaboration platforms, to streamline work and improve effectiveness.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience supporting a CEO, founder, chairman, or other senior executive in a highly visible environment.
• Demonstrated success in a senior executive assistant, executive administrator, office-of-the-CEO, or comparable role with broad exposure to senior leadership.
• Experience managing complex calendars, executive communications, and multi-stakeholder coordination with a high degree of professionalism and accuracy.
• Strong judgment and executive presence, with the ability to engage confidently and appropriately with senior leaders and external contacts.
• Proven ability to anticipate needs, exercise discretion, and maintain composure in a demanding, high-accountability setting.
• Comfort working in an environment where priorities shift quickly and responsiveness, flexibility, and follow-through are essential.
• Experience drafting polished business correspondence and communications on behalf of senior executives.
• Strong technical fluency, including Microsoft Office and productivity tools; experience using AI tools to improve workflow is a plus.
• Exceptional written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Outstanding organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, take initiative, and drive follow-through without constant direction.
