About Our Opportunity

The Executive Assistant provides senior level administrative support to the CEO and with minimal direction, is responsible for the efficient and effective operation of the CEO's Office. This involves managing, coordination and scheduling of all aspects of the CEO's role including: issues management; budget administration and financial management, government relations; human resources; stakeholder and public relations; etc.

Qualifications and Experience

Completion of post-secondary education in secretarial studies, business/office administration or paralegal studies is required along with a minimum of four years of experience in administrative/senior administrative roles. An equivalent combination of training and experience may be considered.

You have strong teamwork and collaboration skills, as well as excellent communication skills to liaise with various stakeholders and the diverse public we serve.
