- Project-manage executive-level initiatives as assigned, including developing timelines, coordinating stakeholders, tracking deliverables, and ensuring timely execution.
- Exercise sound judgment, discretion, and emotional intelligence when handling sensitive information, high-stakes communications, and complex interpersonal dynamics.
- Initiate, manage, and complete special projects as assigned by the President & CEO.
- Draft letters, presentations, speeches, and other materials for the President & CEO.
