About The Position
Felton Institute’s Manager of Executive Initiatives supports the agency’s CEO through high-level Executive Assistant functions and by leading the launch and management of executive-level projects. The role helps the CEO manage and prioritize internal and external communications, supports technology and systems integration, and serves as the CEO’s proxy when necessary.
