What You'll Do

 

You solve problems before anyone knows that a problem exists! As a dynamic, driven Executive Assistant (EA) you’ll work with little direction to support several of our most senior consultants, Partners and Principals. 

 

You will manage and assume responsibility for Partners' agendas, effectively and proactively prioritizing on behalf of the Partners in appropriate situations. You’ll identify and manage the right priorities and processes to ensure that the consultants we support have what they need to seamlessly serve the needs of our clients. You’ll make decisions and give guidance to others based on knowledge of the client and Partner preferences. You’ll book (and unbook) travel, schedule (and reschedule) meetings, keep track of time and expenses, support the consulting team process, and generally keep up with the fast pace of our most senior consulting staff.  

 

While consultants spend most of their time at the client site, back here at home base (aka the NYC office) you will be surrounded by an Administrative Team that consists of a group of really smart, team-oriented people.  EAs actively participate in office life, are flexible and willing to help fellow team members, and collaborate across functions.
