Administrative Assistant to Partner

This is a Full Time Job

Admin Assistant to Partner (New York)

Why should you join us?
Every Sunshiner has a say, from brainstorming pitch ideas to leading client relationships, from participating to business development, from welcome emails to all-staff presentations - your voice matters to us. We encourage curiosity, especially when it's joined with initiative! Our clients are important (of course they are!), but more important are our team members. More than ¼ of us have been with the company for 4+ years!

So, what are we looking for?
We have an immediate opening for an Administrative Assistant to one of our Partners. This role needs someone who is interested in social causes, up-to-date on current political events and, most importantly, is incredibly organized. We have offices across the US so you're comfortable managing meetings and appointments across different time zones and you sprout additional arms as needed! You are incredibly flexible and can navigate through last minute changes as needed. You're a wiz at booking travel. You also have the gravitas to be ''the boss' boss'' - ?.

Responsibilities Include:
• Managing the Founder's daily calendar and arranging meetings
• Managing contacts and learning quickly who the VIPs are (they all are!) - this incredibly crucial. Name recognition at the state and national level is necessary (politicians, celebrities, etc.)
• Answering and fielding phone calls and meeting requests and briefing him on them - meticulous message taking.
• Reviewing news and current events and flagging them as needed
• Arranging all arrival travel logistics (plenty of local and domestic travel arrangements necessary) and ability to change them as needed.
• Responding to event invitations and arranging local travel and logistics
• Ordering lunch as needed
• Providing occasional tech support (iPhone, computer, etc.)
• Editing and occasionally distributing press releases for ''Friends of Founder''

You should apply if:
• You have about 3 years of experience in this industry and/or role.
• You are incredibly organized, bedetailoriented (see what I did there?) and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously - say THAT five times fast!
• You value punctuality and find that if you're on-time, you're late.
• You have an interest in what's going on in the world in politics and the social arena
• You enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
• You make friends wherever you go. I mean, your co-workers are basically your roommates…don't be uncool - ?

You don't HAVE to have this, but it sure would be nice:
• Previous PR experience
• Previous hospitality experience
