  • Fluent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally and clearly with the executive and staff.
  • Experience using or training on AI tools such as Claude for email management, workflow automation, and dashboard creation, or strong aptitude and willingness to be trained on these tools..
  • Operations experience is a plus, as the role may expand to include light operations support over time.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment and proactively surface priorities without close supervision.
  • Strong organizational skills with experience managing detailed records such as policy or vendor documentation.
