Executive Assistant to the CEO

We are seeking a highly organized, adaptable, and professional Executive Assistant to support our CEO and Founder, Eva Moskowitz. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside one of the country's most influential education leaders in a role that requires exceptional judgment, discretion, and responsiveness. Every day is different, and success depends on your ability to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and execute with precision in a fast-moving
environment. This is an onsite position based in New York City, five days per week. The role will begin as a temporary 3-4 week assignment with the opportunity to convert to a permanent position if it proves to be a strong mutual fit.

The Role
As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will serve as a trusted partner responsible for keeping the CEO organized, informed, and operating at maximum effectiveness. You will manage a demanding schedule, coordinate shifting priorities, and ensure day-to-day executive operations run seamlessly. This is not a traditional 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. position. Your schedule will align with the CEO's needs, requiring flexibility for early mornings, evenings, and last-minute changes. The ideal candidate is energized by fast-paced work, thrives under pressure, and remains composed while managing sensitive and high-priority matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a complex and constantly evolving calendar, ensuring the CEO's time is prioritized effectively.

• Coordinate meetings, appointments, travel, and logistics while proactively anticipating scheduling conflicts.

• Serve as a trusted administrative partner, responding quickly to changing priorities and urgent requests.

• Exercise exceptional judgment, professionalism, and discretion when handling confidential information and communications.

• Ensure seamless execution of day-to-day executive operations, following through on critical tasks and action items.

• Maintain clear communication across internal and external stakeholders while representing the CEO with professionalism.

• Remain available to support the CEO's schedule, including work that extends beyond traditional business hours when necessary.

Schedule & Availability
This role is driven by the CEO's calendar rather than a fixed work schedule. Hours will vary based on business needs and may include early mornings, evenings, and occasional last-minute schedule changes. Lunch breaks are taken as workflow permits, and flexibility is essential to success in this role. This position begins as a temporary assignment anticipated to last approximately three to four weeks and does not constitute a permanent offer of employment. Candidates who demonstrate exceptional performance during the trial period may be considered for a permanent Executive Assistant opportunity.
