UVA Health is seeking an accomplished Senior Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to the Chief Financial Officer and multiple executive leaders across the Finance division , including the Chief of Financial Operations, Chief Supply Chain Officer, and other senior leaders.
This highly visible position serves as a trusted administrative partner within a complex, fast-moving health system. The ideal candidate anticipates needs, protects executive time, maintains awareness of upcoming priorities, and ensures leaders are thoroughly prepared for meetings, decisions, and commitments.
The Role
The Senior Executive Assistant provides sophisticated administrative and operational support to executive leaders whose work spans financial strategy, supply chain, operational performance, and organizational planning. This role requires exceptional judgment, discretion, initiative, and the ability to coordinate competing priorities with limited oversight .
The successful candidate will provide the attentiveness and forward planning associated with high-touch executive support while maintaining clear professional boundaries. The position supports business and organizational responsibilities and does not include personal errands or management of an executive's private household matters.
An average day may include:
· Managing complex executive calendars across multiple leaders, resolving scheduling conflicts, protecting time for strategic priorities, and anticipating the preparation or follow-up required for each commitment.
· Maintaining a forward-looking view of deadlines, governance activities, leadership meetings, travel, presentations, and other significant priorities.
· Proactively providing reminders and confirming that executives have the materials, @context, and logistical details needed for upcoming meetings.
