We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Senior Executive Assistant to support three executives across OpenGov’s Go-To-Market (GTM) organization.

You’ll be the right hand for leaders in Marketing, Professional Services, and Customer Solutions, owning calendars, travel, and daily operations while building strong cross-functional relationships with professionalism, confidentiality, and sound judgment. This is a five-day-a-week onsite role in our Chicago office for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, adapts quickly to shifting priorities, and communicates with clarity and discretion. You’ll contribute to the rhythm and execution of GTM strategy every day.

• Manage and optimize complex calendars across time zones with minimal conflicts, applying sound judgment to prioritize meetings aligned with business needs.

• Coordinate detailed domestic and international travel, including itineraries, agendas, and logistical arrangements.

• Anticipate needs and ensure executives are prepared for all meetings by tracking agendas, briefing materials, and follow-ups.

• Draft and edit professional correspondence, presentations, and internal documentation as needed.

• Track key deliverables and action items to ensure follow-through on top priorities.

• Partner closely with other executive assistants, Chiefs of Staff, and GTM leaders to manage alignment, meeting flow, and operational rhythms.

• Work closely with the Events Manager to support the planning and execution of GTM-led events and team offsites, handling executive logistics and communicating with stakeholders.

• Serve as a consistent and reliable point of contact for the GTM leaders and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Support marketing programs with day-to-day logistics, partnering with office managers to keep swag and print materials stocked, selecting and ordering merchandise, and arranging shipments to customers.

• Support company recognition programs, including sourcing, ordering, and distributing award gifts for winners.
  

• Process and track expense reports, purchase orders, approvals, and other administrative workflows in compliance and company policy.

• Handle highly sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism.

This role requires a standard 40-hour workweek, with the flexibility to support occasional after-hours needs. During peak periods—such as quarterly business reviews, executive offsites, or leadership planning cycles—additional hours may be necessary.
