Executive Business Partner, CEO

ABOUT THE TEAM Our Executive Support team is a group of trusted advisors and thought partners to the Executive Leadership Team. They play a key role in amplifying the effectiveness and impact of our leaders, ensuring executives can focus on the highest-value priorities while driving the business forward. YOUR MISSION The Executive Business Partner (EBP) to the CEO provides trusted, high-touch administrative and personal support to the CEO – enabling focus, efficiency, and effectiveness across both professional and personal domains. This role is highly execution-oriented and detail-driven, with responsibilities that are deeply personalized to the CEO’s working style, preference, and priorities. The EBP is extremely responsive, proactive, and constantly looking around corners to stay several steps ahead in anticipating needs and risks – managing time, logistics, and select communications and personal matters with exceptional judgment, discretion, and care. The EBP operates with a high degree of independence – proactively solving problems, leveraging available resources, and bringing clear recommendations, with the CEO and Chief of Staff serving as escalation points rather than starting points.
