Executive Assistant

Expel is growing our administrative team to support our executive leaders and their relentless mission to get sh** done. Are you able to both fall in love with details and know when it's time to make a decision? Are you passionate about organization, execution, and collaboration? Do you enjoy problem solving, critical thinking, and figuring out a better way to do things? Does partnering with executives and an admin team to achieve company-wide goals bring you excitement? If any of this resonates with you, then we'd love to hear from you!

You'll join our fast paced, versatile Admin & Office Experience (AOX) team who supports the highest priorities of our executives at Expel. Specifically, you'll directly support our Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and their organizations. In addition, you'll be part of helping execute company-wide engagement alongside the AOX team. Your skills and experience will add an invaluable contribution to elevating the standard for how we operate. 

The ideal candidate will be trusted with managing a wide range of responsibilities to support both c-level executives and broader company objectives. The person in this role will have a demonstrated track record of taking ownership, asking good questions, and the ability to work both independently and on a close-knit team to consistently deliver results. In this fast-paced setting, we need someone with a sharp eye for detail, sound judgment, and the steady presence required to keep executives, their teams, and company priorities all in balance. You'll be trusted with sensitive information and high-visibility work, and how you handle both shapes the experience every executive has with our team.
