Manage accurate, up-to-date trackers, agendas, and meeting minutes that support informed decision-making and track follow-throughs.
Maintain organized file systems and support RESE's SharePoint pages so information stays current and accessible for our customer base.

Manage expense reports for incurred RESE costs.
Run the team's feedback machine and processes within established deadlines.
Support onboarding logistics and resources for new RESE team members.
Execute ad-hoc administrative tasks (e.g., catering requests, tech tickets, printing, etc.).
Own defined, bounded projects end to end — examples include a conference room reconfiguration, signage changes — covering scope, timeline, vendor coordination, and closeout.
Independently manage vendor quotes and scheduling for these projects, escalating only when cost, schedule, or scope shifts materially.
Report status and outcomes on owned projects directly to the Directors as a discrete workstream.
Own and maintain RESE's standard operating playbooks and guiding-principles documentation as programs run through them.
Document & improve workflows and process changes as they're adopted, including AI-enabled workflows, so they're repeatable without relying on institutional memory.
Maintain Blu FAQ content and flag or resolve gaps and contradictions as they're discovered.
Maintain and triage the Smoke Tracker / issue log, categorizing new issues by severity and flagging pattern-level risks to the Directors.
Exercise judgment on what needs escalation versus what can be resolved directly and document the reasoning.
