Ascendo Resources is partnering with an established national nonprofit to find an Executive Assistant who will be the right hand to its chief executive. The organization supports a network of 500+ member communities across the country, and this role sits at the center of it.

Salary range is up to $80,000 with full benefits. This role would be hybrid (1 day WFH). 

This isn’t just an inbox-and-calendar job. You’ll keep a busy executive a step ahead: anticipating needs, owning the follow-up, and making sure everything that goes out under their name is polished and error-free.

What you’ll do

• Own the executive’s calendar and coordinate in-person and virtual meetings and events
• Build and proofread slide decks, letters, and outgoing correspondence
• Serve as the main point of contact between the executive and key stakeholders
• Take detailed notes in department meetings and keep organization-wide updates on track
• Keep projects moving in Asana and handle highly confidential information with discretion

What you bring

• 1–2+ years of executive assistant experience, ideally supporting a director-level leader or above
• Strong PowerPoint and Google Slides skills, plus comfort across Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
• Sharp writing (grammar and punctuation matter here)
• A sense of urgency, reliable follow-through, and the judgment to fix small issues before they become big ones

Why you’ll like it

• Hybrid schedule with remote Fridays
• 16 days of PTO plus a generous holiday calendar
• Health coverage, FSA/dependent care, and a 403(b)
• A close-knit, mission-driven team of fewer than 50, where your work is seen
