[Hiring] Executive Assistant @Just Right Reader

Role Description

We're supporting our Chief Academic Officer in finding a seasoned, resourceful, and highly self-directed Executive Assistant. This is a full-time remote role for someone who thrives on quietly keeping things in motion - behind the scenes - so the CAO can focus on leading our technical teams and building out our automation strategy.

Think of this as being the wizard behind the curtain: you'll manage the administrative world for our CAO with a high degree of autonomy. You'll coordinate closely with other Executive Assistants at Just Right Reader to handle business-facing priorities, but your main focus will be on removing things from the CAO's plate.

This means:

• Serving as a gatekeeper and point of contact for a wide range of people - from cross-functional teams to outside vendors.
• Handling logistics, owning the CAO's schedule, managing the CAO's inbox, prepping the CAO for upcoming meetings, understanding how to lean in as a true partner, etc.

Responsibilities

• Assist with various projects and initiatives, coordinating cross-functional teams and ensuring timely completion of deliverables.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, screening and directing inquiries as appropriate.
• Provide comprehensive administrative support to the CAO, including managing calendars, scheduling meetings, and coordinating travel.
• Prepare and edit correspondence, reports, presentations, and other documents with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Organize and facilitate meetings, including preparing agendas, recording minutes, and following up on action items.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and maintain strict confidentiality at all times.
• Act as a liaison between the CAO and other members of the leadership team, ensuring alignment and effective communication.
• Manage competing priorities effectively, proactively identifying and addressing potential conflicts or obstacles.
• Embrace and utilize remote work tools and technologies to optimize productivity and collaboration within a fully remote work environment.
• Provide additional administrative support and perform other duties as assigned by the CAO.

Qualifications

• Experience in K-12 education (educator, instructional coach, admin role, or district role) is required.
• Science of Reading Knowledge applied in PreK-5th grade is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience supporting C-level executives in a fast-paced environment is required.
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience is preferred.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work with minimal errors.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally with individuals at all levels of the organization.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively and meet deadlines.
• Proven ability to handle confidential information with tact, integrity, and discretion.
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and work effectively in a remote work environment.
• A team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to pitch in and support colleagues as needed.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate needs and proactively address challenges.
