• Benefit from mentorship and knowledge transfer during onboarding, along with a leader who invests in employee development and professional growth.
• Access a competitive benefits package including health, life and disability insurance, a Group RRSP with employer matching up to 6%, three weeks of vacation, a two-week holiday shutdown, and a right-to-disconnect culture.

Your Responsibilities
• You'll provide executive support to senior leaders, coordinating priorities while maintaining professionalism and confidentiality.
• You'll assist with budget-related activities, licence renewals, and cross-functional coordination across departments.
• You'll monitor executive inboxes as needed, identify urgent matters, and ensure timely follow-up when leaders are unavailable.
• You'll support scheduling and administrative activities while helping keep priorities organized and on track.
• You'll review and refine AI-generated content for accuracy, formatting, and clarity.
• You'll anticipate executive needs, follow up on action items, and confidently work independently to keep initiatives moving forward.

• Intermediate proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and spreadsheets.
• Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment, manage confidential information, and take initiative.
