Executive Assistant & Office Manager

This is an opportunity for an experienced administrative professional who enjoys being at the center of a business, supporting leaders, connecting people and priorities, and ensuring the details are handled exceptionally well.

Reporting to the Southeast Wisconsin Market President, the Executive Assistant & Office Manager serves as a trusted partner to senior leaders while helping ensure the market and office operate smoothly. This highly visible role combines executive-level support with operational leadership and plays a key role in creating an organized, professional, and welcoming environment for employees, clients, and visitors.

The role offers structure along with significant variety. Success requires someone who can confidently move between high-level administrative support, market and business coordination, event and community engagement, and hands-on office operations. No two days are exactly alike, and the ideal candidate embraces both the strategic and practical aspects of helping a business operate effectively.

The successful candidate will be recognized as a trusted resource who anticipates needs, takes ownership, exercises sound independent judgment, and remains adaptable as priorities evolve.

• A role that combines executive support, business operations, event management, community engagement, and office leadership.
• Meaningful variety and the opportunity to make an impact every day.
• A collaborative, relationship-driven environment where initiative, judgment, and professionalism are highly valued.

• Strong organizational and project coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly as business needs change.
• Sound independent judgment, discretion, and the ability to handle confidential information appropriately.
• A proactive mindset and the ability to anticipate needs, take ownership, and follow through with minimal direction.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, along with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of an organization.
