Our client, a long-established and industry-leading specialty services provider headquartered in Baton Rouge, is seeking an Executive Assistant to support company executives. This role offers the chance to join a small but mighty team where employees are valued, supported, and tend to stay for the long haul.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
- People-first culture where values, work ethic, and personal growth matter.
- Relaxed and respectful work environment — you’re trusted to do your job well with autonomy.
- Incredible benefits including BCBS insurance with company-funded HSA, 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar match up to 10%, performance bonuses, and supplemental voluntary benefits.
- Real development opportunities — you’ll be cross-trained, supported, and encouraged to grow in areas like accounting, project coordination, and operations.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Serve as the right hand to the CEO and the VP of Finance, supporting daily administrative needs and jumping into exciting projects as they arise.
- Draft, edit, and format internal documents, reports, and presentations (PowerPoint a plus!).
- Create fillable forms and manage project-related documentation using Excel and an internal form-building platform (similar to spreadsheets).
- Sit in on meetings with executives to take notes, organize next steps, and ensure follow-up.
- Assist with policy updates (e.g., employee handbook), insurance preparation, and procedural documentation.
- Provide occasional front desk coverage and general office support across departments.
- Collaborate on soft-skills and continuing education initiatives across the organization.
- Learn and grow in other areas of the business — basic accounting experience is a major plus, but training is offered for the right person with aptitude and initiative.
What We’re Looking For:
- At least 5 years of administrative or executive support experience.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (formulas, formatting, data entry), and experience with PowerPoint.
- Strong communication and writing skills; ability to craft and edit internal materials.
- Organized, dependable, and self-motivated — you’re the kind of person who sees what needs to be done and gets to it.
- Curious and collaborative — you enjoy learning new systems and working with different teams.
- Bonus points if you have basic accounting knowledge or want to learn!
A Few More Perks:
- Annual bonuses based on company performance
- Flexible, family-oriented team
- Cross-training ensures you're never stuck or siloed — growth is built-in
