• Support in-office operations and workplace experience, including greeting guests, event support and front desk coverage, contributing to a high-functioning, welcoming environment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to coordinate meetings, events, and projects, ensuring alignment with broader business goals and seamless execution.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience supporting C-level executives in a fast-paced, high-growth, or complex environment.
• Travel required: Attendance is requested for Collaboration Weeks throughout the year in Phoenix and alternate locations as needed.
• Strong project ownership skills, with the ability to independently manage timelines, deliverables, and follow-through without close oversight.

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, professional messaging on behalf of executives and communicate effectively across all levels of the organization.
• Operates with urgency and focus, quickly assessing and triaging competing priorities using sound executive judgment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working for a technology or entertainment company.
• Executive presence, projecting confidence, clarity, and professionalism in all interactions (internal and external) while maintaining composure and adaptability.
