Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Assistant contributes to the organization’s success by serving as the primary person responsible for providing administrative support to the Executive Leadership Team, Board of Directors, and AHMA as a whole.

The Executive Assistant will exercise positive communication, judgement, and discretion in acting as the liaison between the CEO’s office and external and internal stakeholders and will complete a wide variety of administrative activities including calendar management, meeting coordination, expense reporting and arranging travel.

A key responsibility will be coordinating meetings for the Executive Leadership Team, Board of Directors and various committees. This includes scheduling, minute-taking, and compiling and preparing and distributing materials as needed. Therefore, the ability to maintain confidentiality and discretion will be essential.

AHMA requires an Executive Assistant who is highly proactive with strong relationship management skills, and who can work both independently and with teams. Advanced skills in MS Office, including Word and Excel are required. Corporate records management experience and training is an asset.

A critical success factor for any person who joins the AHMA team is to have an in-depth understanding of Aboriginal people and Aboriginal culture, preferably with strong British Columbia connections.
