Cogent Talent Solutions • Atlanta, GA

About The Position

As the Administrative Assistant, you will sit at the center of day-to-day operations. You’ll work closely with the President, and other leaders to coordinate a wide range of activities – from meetings and travel to reporting, events, and ongoing operational priorities. This is not a passive administrative role. As the right-hand person for the Owner of the company, you’ll be expected to take ownership of tasks, manage a high volume of moving pieces, and stay ahead of what needs to happen next. Some responsibilities are routine, others are one-off or project-based – all require strong follow-through and attention to detail. You’ll also serve as a key point of coordination across internal teams, vendors, and external stakeholders, ensuring communication is clear and execution stays on track. This is a small and growing company, which means the role will include a variety of responsibilities with the opportunity to grow the role as the company expands.
