  • 3-5 years relevant administration experience, including directly supporting busy senior-level executives.

  • Experience with personal assistance is preferred, but not required for someone who understands the complex interplay between a busy business leader’s work commitments and personal commitments

  • Experience working for a public company is an asset.
