BACKGROUND & NOTES:

• Working as the right-hand Assistant (like an EA) to the Head of Grants Management Team, Jamie Staugler. Jamie can be demanding and need someone with experience who can handle a lot with a busy, high profile boss.
• Jamie has a few direct reports, so additional support needed for 2 or 3 at times; must be okay with supporting a small team as needed
• History of the hire: there has been more of a team coordinator profile (more junior) working the job but not enough depth of experience to manage it effectively, determined they need more of an EA profile; need a bit more maturity and experience
• She’s doesn’t travel BUT she has a really, really busy schedule – meetings, calendar, changing all the time, internal/external stakeholders, lots of moving parts
• Data analytical experience – pulling information from the database for grants and relaying it to her as needed, someone comfortable with data
• Prepping for meetings – pulling research online, drafting memos, etc.
• Someone adept at managing change and diverse management/communication styles
• Overall it is a young team so need someone who will work well with that culture – can be a seasoned candidate but must be dynamic and proactive in their way.
