The Executive Assistant to the Superintendent is a highly trusted extension of the Superintendent and serves as a key operational and strategic partner responsible for keeping the Superintendent’s Office operating efficiently, responsively, and at full speed in a fast-moving and constantly evolving environment. This role is central to ensuring the Superintendent is supported in a way that maximizes effectiveness, responsiveness, communication, and follow-through across the organization. The Executive Assistant supports the communication and alignment of organizational vision, mission, and values while also facilitating cross-departmental initiatives, systems improvements, and Superintendent-sponsored programs, projects, and activities.


A primary focus of this role is managing the day-to-day operational flow of the Superintendent’s Office and ensuring that critical details, communications, timelines, and follow-up actions do not fall through the cracks. Key responsibilities include managing and triaging high-volume correspondence; coordinating and maintaining a complex and constantly shifting calendar with competing priorities and frequent changes; tracking calls, commitments, and action items to ensure timely follow-up; supporting material preparation and finalization; processing budgets and reimbursements; and coordinating conference registrations and travel arrangements. The Executive Assistant also conducts research, coordinates data and information collection for special assignments, supports personnel-related activities, and serves as a liaison for and representative of the Superintendent. The role requires a high level of discretion, professionalism, sound judgment, adaptability, and problem-solving in support of daily operations and crisis resolution.


Additionally, the position supports districtwide events and community engagement activities, including events such as graduations and other district functions, which may occasionally require evening hours.


The ideal candidate is a multifaceted professional who understands educational systems, public education priorities, and organizational operations, while also possessing strong technical, computer, and administrative skills. This role requires a high level of comfort and proficiency with technology platforms and digital tools used to support executive operations, communications, presentations, and organizational efficiency. Experience with tools such as Excel, Canva, presentation platforms, digital communications, website or web-based content support, and other technology-related systems is highly valued. The ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technology platforms while supporting the operational and strategic work of the Superintendent’s Office is essential. This individual must also be highly proficient in drafting, managing, and tracking executive-level correspondence while ensuring timely follow-through, responsiveness, accuracy, and professionalism in all communications.
