Job Summary
Behind every great health care leader is a trusted partner who keeps everything moving. We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support two leaders at Mass General Brigham. If you thrive on being the person leaders count on, and you're energized by work that matters, this is your opportunity to help shape how one of the nation's leading academic health care systems operates. This role requires 4-5 days on-site.
With a front-row seat to enterprise leadership, work side by side with two senior executives who guide operations and nursing across the system.
You'll do meaningful work that clears the way for the leaders who support our clinicians and patients. We trust you with sensitive, confidential matters and the autonomy to use your own judgment.

Responsibilities
- Keep two executive calendars running smoothly: manage schedules, appointments, travel, meetings, and conference calls, including the documents, resources, and logistics that make each one successful.

- Stay on top of the details: maintain files and office supplies, keep budget records, reconcile and verify expenses, complete reimbursements, and perform payroll functions for the executive team.
- Keep the business side moving: process invoices and check requests for payment, coordinate all travel arrangements, and process expense reports for the executive leaders and their teams. Maintain office files and systems so documents and correspondence are easy to retrieve.
- Use your judgment: analyze situations, solve problems, and decide on the best course of action within established guidelines.
- Be a team player: support fellow administrative and executive assistants, and help orient and train staff.
