## What they're looking for

- Serving as a trusted thought partner and sounding board to both executives, helping pressure-test decisions before they're made and accelerating alignment when speed matters
- Owning the highest-stakes communications: board materials, company-wide messaging, and external engagements, ensuring every artifact reflects the quality and clarity of their thinking
- Managing the rhythm of the Executive Office: preparing for critical meetings, ensuring follow-through on key commitments, and keeping the most important decisions from stalling
- Leading special projects on behalf of the Executive Office, stepping into high-priority, time-sensitive workstreams that require senior judgment and a trusted hand
- Holding a high bar for the quality of the top team: proactively surfacing what's working and what isn't, delivering honest upward feedback, and creating the conditions for the executive team to operate at its best
- Leading major cross-departmental initiatives end-to-end, from problem definition through outcome delivery
