Executive Assistant

The Executive Assistant to the C-Suite provides high-level executive support to three C-suite leaders while serving as a proactive business partner who helps maximize leadership effectiveness, organizational alignment, and execution of strategic priorities. This role extends beyond traditional administrative support, requiring exceptional judgment, business acumen, forward thinking, and the ability to anticipate needs, identify opportunities, and independently drive follow-through.

Operating within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment undergoing significant transformation, the Executive Assistant must be comfortable navigating ambiguity, adapting to evolving priorities, and helping leaders remain focused on the activities that matter most to the business. The individual will serve as a central point of coordination across executive calendars, meetings, communications, projects, and key initiatives while ensuring important commitments and decisions translate into action.

The ideal candidate is confident, resourceful, and solutions-oriented, with the ability to think several steps ahead, constructively challenge assumptions, connect information across functions, and exercise sound judgment without requiring constant direction. Success in this role requires more than keeping executives organized; it requires understanding the business, recognizing what needs attention, and proactively helping the organization move forward.
