• Drive scheduling logistics end-to-end:
  • Send agendas and pre-reads.
  • Confirm attendees.
  • Adjust when priorities shift at short notice.

• Protect executive time by filtering meeting requests and ensuring meetings have a clear purpose, desired outcomes, and preparation.

2) Meeting and workshop preparation

• Gather inputs and content for sessions (leadership meetings, workshops, all-hands contributions).
• Build and maintain preparation checklists and timelines for workshops and offsites.
• Coordinate pre-work from participants and ensure materials are ready on time.
• Capture actions and follow-ups and keep owners accountable (lightweight support, not a program manager role).

• Plan and coordinate leadership offsites, team events, and workshops:
  • Venue sourcing and vendor coordination.
  • Agenda logistics, room setup needs, catering, and AV requirements.
  • Participant communications, calendars, and travel guidance when relevant.
• Maintain run-of-show documents and contingency plans.

4) Expense and admin operations

• Submit and track expense reports, reconcile receipts, and ensure policy compliance.
• Coordinate approvals and follow up on missing documentation.
• Support purchase requests where needed (for example, event deposits and travel bookings), in collaboration with Finance and Workplace.

5) Executive travel coordination

• Arrange end-to-end travel (flights, hotels, ground transport), including changes and disruptions.
• Ensure itineraries are easy to follow and consolidated in one place.
