Role Responsibilities

Do you thrive on chaos? Neither do we. But if you get a thrill from a well-organized briefing binder, perfectly color-coded schedules, and an efficient budget process, this role is for you.

Reporting to the Executive Director of L&E, the Executive Assistant is the administrative backbone of our team. In this role, you will:

Provide exceptional executive support: Coordinate a busy executive’s calendar and serve as a central point of coordination, ensuring scheduling and communications reflect their priorities and leadership values.
Organize with precision: Prepare meetings and briefing packages, ensuring everything is planned, organized and up-to-date, so everyone has what they need when they need it.
Keep things running smoothly: Coordinate finances, records and logistics by creating systems that keep everything on track and operating seamlessly.
Be the go-to person: Help executives and team members get things done by providing value-added service and connecting the dots when responding to questions.
Navigate the big picture: Use good judgment in day-to-day decisions that consider priorities of the branch and the APS.

To be successful in this role, you need to:

Be organized and detail-oriented: You can track deadlines, juggle several projects at once, and keep things running smoothly even when there is a lot happening.
Work the system: When something needs to be solved, you can figure out who to talk to, how to contact to them, and what to do.
Communicate effectively: Whether you’re sending an email or chatting on Teams, you make sure your message is easy to understand and appropriate for the audience.
Navigate budgets, contracts and public sector finance with confidence: You’re comfortable with public sector financial processes and ensure everything aligns with APS policy and protocols.
Master the executive calendar: You can steer an executive’s calendar - anticipating scheduling challenges and effectively representing the senior leader’s priorities.
Be flexible and take initiative: You don’t just react to requests - you anticipate needs, spot opportunities for improvement, and take action to make things better for the whole team.
