ABOUT THE POSITION
The Administrative Coordinator, Executive Office, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of the Executive Office by providing exceptional administrative support to the President and Chief of Staff. This role combines organizational professionalism with trusted personal support, balancing the management of complex calendars, meeting logistics, and communications across the Executive Office, along with select personal tasks that help the President manage day-to-day responsibilities with ease. The ideal candidate, who reports to the Chief of Staff, is highly organized, discreet, and dependable, with a strong sense of judgment and the ability to adapt in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.
This position serves as a key point of coordination for both internal and external relationships, ensuring the President’s time, information flow, and priorities are well managed. While primarily focused on professional responsibilities within the Executive Office, the role also includes a limited scope of personal support to help the President maintain balance and effectiveness in their work.
This is a full-time benefits-eligible role with a hybrid schedule of three days a week at the Philadelphia office (located in University City), and two days virtual, with occasional schedule adjustments for after-hours events.

- Support light project coordination for select Executive Office initiatives (e.g., tracking deadlines, preparing materials, following up on next steps), in partnership with the Chief of Staff.
- Arrange complex travel logistics for the President, including itineraries, accommodations, and related preparations, ensuring all details are seamlessly managed.
- Monitor incoming requests, invitations, and deadlines; triage and elevate items to the Chief of Staff when appropriate.
- Maintain the highest levels of confidentiality, exercising sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive information.
- Work in close partnership with the Chief of Staff to align the President’s time and focus with organizational goals and executive office priorities.
- Provide occasional support for executive team meetings and retreats, including agenda coordination, note-taking, and logistical planning.
- Manage general administrative processes related to the President’s office, such as expense tracking, filing, and recordkeeping.
- Represent the President, the Executive Office, and Spring Point Partners with professionalism, warmth, and integrity when engaging with external partners, community members, and stakeholders.
