- Confirm expectations and decision authority when direction is unclear, and keep leaders informed of progress and changes
- Follow up on requests, decisions and action items until they’re completed
- About you4–8 years of experience supporting C-level or senior executives in a fast-paced organization. Experience in energy, infrastructure or financial services is a plus, however solid CEO-level support at any large organization will be considered
