About The Position

We are seeking a high-leverage Executive Business Partner, not a traditional assistant, to serve as a force multiplier for our C-suite. This role bridges the gap between vision and execution, ensuring the leadership team focuses on high-value growth by managing corporate operations. The Executive Business Partner will act as the primary gatekeeper, a strategic fixer, and the "connective tissue" to move corporate opportunities from conversation to completion. The position is focused on optimizing by removing administrative friction and smoothing the path for corporate opportunities, directly impacting the company’s bottom line and scalability. We value "low ego, high impact" individuals who enjoy being the behind-the-scenes architect of a successful executive team. The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience supporting executives within DOD government contracting firms.

Requirements

7+ years supporting C-level executives.
5+ years within government contracting.
Unshakeable under pressure, bringing three potential solutions to problems.
Possess a "sixth sense" for urgency and confidentiality, knowing what needs a signature now and what can wait until tomorrow.
Exceptional written and verbal skills.
Mastery of G-Suite/Microsoft 365 and modern productivity tools (Slack, Notion, Asana).

Nice To Haves

Bachelors degree.
Experience in a fast-paced or high-growth environment.
Demonstrable experience supporting executives within DOD government contracting firms.

Responsibilities

Manage complex calendars with an understanding of business priorities, knowing when to block out "deep work" time and when to squeeze in a high-stakes investor call.
Attend key meetings, capture high-level action items, and proactively follow up with department heads to ensure momentum doesn't stall.
Prepare the executive team for the day ahead by synthesizing long reports into concise "cheat sheets" and ensuring they have all necessary context before stepping into the room.
Act as the first point of contact for external partners, board members, and potential acquisitions, serving as the "face" of the executive office.
Lead special projects such as organizing board retreats, managing the administrative side of a fundraise, or coordinating high-profile speaking engagements.
Identify bottlenecks in the organization and streamline communication between the C-suite and the rest of the company to keep the "corporate engine" running hot.
Manage executive expenses, travel logistics (often complex and international), and sensitive corporate documentation with absolute discretion.
Utilize and implement tools (AI, CRM, Project Management software) to automate routine tasks and increase the office’s overall efficiency.
