- Run-of-show checklists and vendor confirmations.
Communication & Administration
- Draft and send professional, concise correspondence on behalf of executives and the Executive Operations team (email, calendar invitations, confirmations, reminders).

- Maintain organized digital files in Google Drive (naming conventions, folder hygiene, version control).
- Own timely, accurate submission of expenses for assigned executives and key events (credit card receipts, reimbursements, mileage, and vendor invoices), ensuring everything is coded correctly and submitted ahead of Finance deadlines.
- Handle ad hoc projects and research to help executives and the Sr. Executive Operations Specialist move faster and make better decisions.
What Success Looks Like
- Calendars for supported executives feel proactive, thoughtful, and intentional, not chaotic or reactive.
- Meetings start on time with the right people, the right materials, and clear objectives.
- Executives experience fewer last-minute fires because logistics, travel, and event details were anticipated and handled in advance.
- External partners (investors, advisors, vendors) experience smooth, professional interactions and clear next steps.
- The Sr. Executive Operations Specialist can delegate more complex coordination and projects to you over time because you’ve demonstrated reliability and judgment.
