Description :

The Executive Assistant (EA) is a critical member of a high-performing, fast-paced President’s Office, providing direct, high-level administrative and operational support to the President of Dartmouth College.

The EA ensures that the President’s schedule, meetings, and materials are aligned with institutional goals and executed with precision, discretion, and professionalism. The role calls for a collaborative operator who :

• Pays close attention to detail
• Thrives in complexity
• Communicates clearly
• Stays grounded under pressure
• Appreciates the highly confidential nature of this work
• Can prioritize, as well as adapt quickly when priorities shift
• Knows when to solve a problem vs. when to escalate
