    Executive Assistant to CEO

    Description:

    The Executive Assistant (EA) has varied skill set with superb organizational ability. He/She is responsible for managing the CEO’s office. The EA is very flexible and possesses outstanding problem solving skills. This role requires stamina and dedication because the EA might be on call, day and night.

    The daily routine of an EA is rarely the same from day to day, and can vary significantly. Typical duties include managing a complex schedule for the CEO. That includes booking meetings, conference calls and travel, taking meeting minutes, writing reports, preparing correspondences and prioritizing items that need attention. General book keeping and good math skills are often necessary for preparing a CEO's expense report, reconciling accounts or submitting billing information.

    High-level clerical skills are required for this position, such as advanced or expert proficiency with word processing, spreadsheets, powerpoint and databases. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are also necessary, particularly as you might be the liaison between the CEO and other parties. The CEO is a busy person, so the ability to anticipate needs, think critically and offer solutions to problems is very important. As the executive assistant, you will be expected to supervise some staff. Therefore, cultivating your leadership skills is somewhat inevitable.

    Communication will be ongoing in the office. As an executive assistant, you'll be screening incoming calls, making notes of essential information and prioritizing the calls to be returned by the CEO. Email traffic will be heavy sometimes, so it's good practice to prioritize a list of those replies that have to be made by the CEO personally.
