About the Role

This high-trust, high-visibility position supports the President of PMT and the VP of Product by serving as a true force multiplier in a fast-paced turnaround environment. You'll be the operational backbone that enables executive-level decision-making, touching everything from board materials and organizational changes to sensitive personnel matters. This isn't about managing logistics — it's about treating the calendar as strategy, anticipating needs before they arise, and ensuring two key leaders can focus entirely on driving business transformation.

Responsibilities

  • Orchestrate complex, multi-time-zone calendars for two executives, resolving scheduling conflicts with strategic judgment.
  • Coordinate end-to-end travel arrangements and high-stakes sessions, ensuring spaces, materials, and pre-reads are secured.
  • Prepare agendas for PMT leadership meetings, capture detailed minutes with action items, and track follow-through.
  • Format and polish executive-level documents and presentations.
  • Create simple dashboards and trackers that summarize outcomes, owners, and deadlines.
  • Serve as a critical coordination point across the organization, tracking cross-functional workstreams.
  • Flag scheduling conflicts, dependency risks, and bottlenecks early.
  • Manage confidential business and personnel matters with absolute discretion.
  • Draft correspondence for signature, process expenses, and support governance documentation.
  • Interface regularly with REMS Technology leadership offices on shared scheduling and logistics.
  • Support onboarding for new PMT hires and facilitate small team events.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive administrative experience supporting C-suite executives or business unit leaders within large, global organizations.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in high-complexity environments.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Microsoft Teams.
  • Ability to produce polished executive-level materials independently.
  • Proven track record handling highly confidential information with absolute discretion.
  • Experience with sensitive personnel matters and business-critical documentation.
  • Demonstrated independence and sound judgment.
  • Ability to act effectively without complete information, anticipate needs proactively, and resolve issues without constant guidance.
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, delivering clear, concise, and professional correspondence appropriate for executive and board-level audiences.
  • Flexibility to work beyond standard business hours when critical business needs arise, including occasional evening or weekend availability during high-priority periods.
  • Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
