Public Affairs & Managing Partner Support (Approximately 50%)

Executive & Administrative Support

Provide direct administrative and organizational support to the Managing Partner.

Assist with calendar and schedule management, including coordinating meetings, managing invitations and prioritizing commitments.

Maintain organized records, documents and correspondence.

Track key deliverables, deadlines, outstanding requests and follow-ups related to the Managing Partner's work.

Assist with day-to-day administrative tasks and special projects as required.
