The ideal candidate is organized, responsive, professional, and comfortable balancing shifting priorities while handling sensitive information with discretion.

This position focuses on executive administrative support and coordination. It does not oversee franchise operations or independently make operational decisions on behalf of the SVP.

• Maintain a simple tracking system for assigned follow-up items, owners, and due dates.
