3. Travel & Logistics Coordination

- **Expense Management:** Track, compile, and submit monthly expense reports, credit card reconciliations, and reimbursement claims for the executive team in compliance with company policy.
4. Operational & Project Support
- **Document Control:** Maintain an ultra-organized, secure, and confidential digital and physical filing system for executive records, contracts, and legal documentation.
- **Event Planning:** Coordinate executive-level events, town halls, board meetings, and leadership retreats, managing logistics, catering, and guest lists.

- **Responsiveness & Accuracy:** High speed and precise accuracy in drafting correspondence and managing executive data.
- **Discretion:** Strict maintenance of absolute confidentiality regarding corporate, financial, and personnel matters.

- **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Human Resources, Communications, or a related field is preferred.
