  • Provide administrative support for high-priority projects and initiatives under the OCIO and ITLC including process development, implementation, and management
  • Lead execution of department-wide events based on guidance from CIO, in partnership with Managing Director, Organizational Effectiveness and team
  • Arrange travel, lodging, and detailed itineraries
  • Track expenses, process invoices, and compile expense reports for travel and other business-related purchases
