This Should Describe You
You have 4-6 years of professional experience and you have interest in continuing to grow as an Executive Assistant
You're exceptionally detail oriented : You are a perfectionist who never lets anything fall through the cracks. You close every loop, spot every error, and look around corners to make sure every detail is perfect.
You possess foresight : If you had a superpower, it would be the ability to see (and plan) around corners; you're proactive. You know there's a problem and you know how to fix it before anyone else. When you finish a task, you ask yourself what else could make the outcome even better - planning for every scenario and leaving no stone unturned.
You're an excellent communicator : You can communicate nuance effectively to anyone, modifying your tone based on whom you're speaking to. Regardless if it's an email, a phone call, or in person, you get things done by clearly and professionally expressing yourself.
You're open to giving and receiving feedback : Feedback is core to Mammoth Brands values. You lead with kindness and proactively offer, listen, and have direct dialogue daily to improve yourself, your team, and the company. You also receive feedback with curiosity - seeking to understand other perspectives, and incorporate feedback and input into your work moving forward.
You're resilient : in the face of challenges and obstacles, you remain steady and agile, energized to solve any problem. When you are stuck, you collect yourself, define the problem, and find the right support to help you out. There's no sticky situation that you can't wiggle your way out of, always coming to the table with solutions.
You're a pro at multitasking : You have the ability to manage multiple initiatives and projects at the same time and can easily context switch and redirect attention based on shifting priorities.
You're hardworking : You are endlessly reliable, credible, and consistent in your ability to produce the highest quality work, even outside the confines of a 9-5 job when it's vital. Everyone counts on you all the time, and you always come through. Whether it's coordinating on-site catering, or executing a large-scale event, you're down for anything, big or small.
You exercise good judgment : You're trustworthy and exercise good judgment with the most confidential and sensitive information. You know how to tactfully navigate requests for information that may not be best shared; you help to put out, rather than flame, rumors and gossip.
