Location: Chicago, IL - Hybrid (3 days/week in office)

We're looking for a sharp, highly organized Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to the Head of People & HR and the broader People function at IG North America. You'll be a trusted partner who keeps things running smoothly — anticipating needs, maintaining confidentiality, and managing competing priorities with ease in a fast-paced fintech environment.

What You'll Do:

  • Calendar & Scheduling: Own executive calendars end-to-end — coordinating meetings, protecting priorities, and handling senior interview logistics.
  • Meeting Support: Keep meetings sharp and productive. Prep materials, capture decisions, and track action items so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Communications: Serve as a professional first point of contact for the Head of People, thoughtfully managing incoming correspondence — exercising sound judgment to respond, prioritize, or escalate with the right context and appropriate urgency.
  • Executive Materials: Create polished presentations, reports, and documents that reflect the People brand
  • Vendor & Finance Management: Manage HR vendor contracts and invoices, process expense reports, and assist with budget oversight
  • Confidentiality: Handle sensitive and market-sensitive information with the utmost discretion and professionalism
  • Events & Culture: Organize company events, off-sites, and team activities that reflect our unique fintech culture
  • Proactive Support: Anticipate needs and solve problems before they escalate—staying two steps ahead

Who You Are:

  • 3–5 years of experience supporting executive-level leaders
  • College degree preferred
  • HR Administration experience a plus but not required
  • Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, Concur, SharePoint, and Workday—and quick to pick up new tools
  • Self-directed, with sound judgment and strong decision-making skills
  • Professional, personable, and highly discreet
  • Flexible and adaptable, including occasional after-hours availability
