The position is intentionally structured as a limited tenure position with Mayo Clinic, with an anticipated duration of two years, while serving as a bridge to a potential long-term support relationship. During this period, the incumbent will develop a deep understanding of the executive's priorities, preferences, relationships, and operating style while establishing systems and processes that support continuity through and beyond the leadership transition.

During the initial two year appointment, the incumbent will progressively develop familiarity with and assume limited responsibility for personal operations and support activities. Following the transition to private employment, responsibilities are expected to expand to include personal assistant support and other lifestyle logistics.

The role requires developing a deep understanding of the executive's preferences, priorities, relationships, and operating style while creating systems and processes that seamlessly integrate professional and personal support.
