Are you the person everyone counts on to keep things organized?

We are seeking an experienced Senior Executive Administrative Assistant to provide high-level administrative and operational support to a General Manager and senior leadership team.

Accounting Support

• Serve as backup support to the Controller for selected accounting functions.
• Assist with Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and related transaction processing as needed.
• Cross-training will be provided.
