Job Summary:
Reporting to the Chief of Staff, this role is primarily focused on enabling the CEO, President and Chief of Staff (the "Executives") of a best-in-class, $6B industrial company to work more effectively and efficiently across an expanding range of business lines, cross-functional initiatives, and growth platforms.

- Attending calls and meetings, as directed by the Chief of Staff; capturing major takeaways; and partnering with the executive team to ensure appropriate and timely follow-up.
Supervising Administrative Support
- Working with the executive assistant(s) to prioritize and manage a complex and dynamic calendar, while maintaining a realistic schedule for the Executives that includes sufficient time to focus on projects and enables strategic thinking about the direction of the company.
- Working with the Chief of Staff to exercise a "gatekeeper" and "gateway" function to protect the Executives' time, while simultaneously enabling key stakeholders and constituents to have ready access when necessary to advance the interests of the company, its ownership and its employees.
- Managing the CEO's inbox to help prioritize, reduce wasted time on unnecessary emails, and ensure the most important messages are handled in a timely manner.
- Coordinating travel, including developing itineraries and scheduling meetings with critical participants.
- Working with the GAF Events team, and taking a leading role in planning and coordinating executive offsite retreats, key cross-company conferences and engagements for the Executives.
