Executive assistant Jobs in Spokane Valley, WA

To support the teams working on our exciting projects, we are looking for

Executive Assistant - Remote (must be based in California or Washington)

In the United States - Remote: California | Washington

This role intentionally combines the breadth of a traditional Administrative Assistant position with the depth, judgment, and proactive partnership of a senior Executive Assistant. It supports two Partners in a global consulting environment by ensuring operational excellence, disciplined priority management, and reliable follow-through across client work, business development, firm leadership, and recruiting.

The role goes beyond task execution. You will serve as a high-trust extension of the Partners; bringing order, clarity, and foresight to a fast-moving environment so the Partners can stay focused on high-impact work.

You’ll build systems for prioritization, decision routing, inbox management, weekly planning, and follow-up. You’ll operate with discretion and confidence; managing when needed and helping the Partner shift from reactive work to intentional, high value execution. The result is a smoother, more professional experience for clients, colleagues, and teams.

What makes us special:

• Become part of a unique entrepreneurial team. Think independently, use your initiative, and take some risks. Entrepreneurship is a powerful force that drives the growth not only of our firm but our clients and people.
• Unlock the power of opportunity. Advance your career in a thriving company with a startup feel. We invest in your professional development every step of the way.
• Work in a values-driven culture. At Simon-Kucher, our vision is to become the world's leading growth specialist. Our values guide the way we do business and communicate our distinctiveness. They sum up what we stand for, influence our culture, and drive how and why we do things.
• Invest in your future. All US and Canadian employees enjoy 401(k) & RRSP benefits with company matching.
• Prioritize your health and well-being. No matter where you live, we offer a competitive suite of health benefits to help keep you and your loved ones safe.
• Enjoy balance and flexible working. Be empowered to do your best work – whether it’s from home or in the office.

How you will create an impact:

• Own and optimize the Partners’ calendars with a strong bias toward strategic priorities; anticipate conflicts and adjust proactively (no surprises).
• Coordinate, manage, and support internal and external meetings, conference calls, video sessions, and events end-to-end (agendas, logistics, preparation, follow-ups).
• Manage inbox triage and message prioritization; draft responses and take first-pass actions to keep momentum moving.
• Track key deliverables, deadlines, decisions, and commitments across multiple workstreams; ensure reliable follow-through and early risk-flagging.
• Ensure the Partners are prepared for key meetings with the right context, materials, and pre-reads well in advance.
• Serve as a point of coordination with internal teams, firm leadership, clients, and external partners; maintain professional and timely communication.
• Support client-facing projects with administrative coordination (scheduling, CRM updates, contract submission requests, gifting, travel/logistics).
• Maintain client and prospect databases; compile customer profiles and maintain opportunity pipelines to support business development efforts.
• Support outbound marketing and profile initiatives (conferences, webinars, white papers, targeted outreach); provide light social media support and content coordination.
• Support budget preparation and tracking for the Partners; interface with Accounts Payable and Finance on payments, expenses, and budget management.
• Interface with Legal for contract coordination and with HR, Marketing, IT, and Operations for cross-functional support and execution.
• Provide backup coverage for other assistants as needed; contribute to office initiatives and continuous improvement of operating systems.
• Take ownership of ad hoc projects that improve efficiency, responsiveness, and professionalism across the Partners’ day-to-day operations.
• Interface effectively with colleagues across multiple countries and time zones.

About You:

• Bachelor’s degree required or equivalent relevant work experience.
• 10+ years of experience supporting senior leaders in consulting, professional services, or similarly fast-paced organizations.
• Exceptional organizational skills; ability to bring order to complexity and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfort interacting with senior stakeholders and external clients.
• High emotional intelligence, discretion, sound judgment, and ability to handle confidential information.
• Ability to anticipate needs, operate with minimal direction, and manage confidently and tactfully.
• Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and collaboration tools (Teams, Zoom, Slack).
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and follow-through; service mindset and problem-solving orientation.

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Meetings start on time, run cleanly, and are consistently well prepared.
• Deadlines and commitments are tracked and met reliably, with fewer last-minute escalations.
• Calendar and inbox are under control and aligned with true priorities.
• The Partners feel less reactive, more focused, and better supported.
• Clients and colleagues experience smoother coordination and consistent professional engagement.

Total compensation for this role includes base salary, eligibility for annual merit-based increases, and a comprehensive benefits package.

The base salary range for this position is between $95,000 to $105,000 per year for U.S. roles. Specific compensation within these ranges will depend on factors such as experience, skills, and location. Salary ranges are reviewed periodically to ensure alignment with market conditions.
