This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction or waits to be told what to do. The ideal candidate will act as a true right-hand person — anticipating needs, taking ownership, making confident decisions, and getting things done quickly and efficiently. You will be trusted to manage a combination of executive, business, administrative, and personal responsibilities, often working across multiple priorities at once.
