Position Overview
Platinum Fundraising is seeking an exceptional Executive & Personal Assistant to serve as a trusted right-hand to one of our company owners.

The successful candidate will be comfortable managing a broad mix of professional and personal priorities and can be trusted to handle matters from start to finish with sound judgment, discretion, and excellent follow-through.
Job Summary
We are seeking a dynamic and highly organized Executive Personal Assistant to support our leadership team. In this role, you will manage complex calendars, coordinate projects, handle confidential information, and facilitate seamless communication across departments. Your proactive approach and exceptional organizational skills will ensure our executives operate efficiently and effectively, enabling them to focus on strategic priorities.

- Handle confidential business and personal information with complete discretion.
What Success Looks Like
You naturally stay a step ahead. You anticipate needs, recognize potential issues early, and take initiative to keep things moving without waiting for direction.
When something changes or goes wrong, you assess the situation, consider what may be affected, and take ownership of finding a solution. You follow through, stay on top of outstanding items, adapt when priorities change, and make sure important details do not fall through the cracks.
