Overview
SimVentions is 100% employee-owned and proudly ranked among Virginia’s Best Places to Work year after year! We are seeking a highly capable, professional, and trusted Executive Assistant to support the Executive Leadership Teram (ELT). This role is responsible for helping maximize executive effectiveness by managing calendars, priorities, communications, meetings, travel, expenses, logistics, records, and executive support processes with accuracy, discretion, and sound judgment.
The Executive Assistant will serve as a key coordination point for executive leadership, internal stakeholders, external partners, customers, and community relationships. The ideal candidate will be organized, proactive, dependable, detail-oriented, and able to operate with professionalism in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
This position requires someone who understands that executive support is not simply administrative task completion. It is the disciplined coordination of time, information, relationships, and follow-through so executive leaders can focus on the highest-value work of the company.
Key Success Factors

- Ability to anticipate needs, reduce administrative burden, improve coordination, and strengthen the operating rhythm of the executive office.
- Consistent follow-through on commitments, action items, logistics, and communication needs.
Work Environment
This is primarily an in-office position due to the nature of executive support, stakeholder coordination, confidential information flow, meeting support, visitor engagement, and the need to remain closely connected to the daily operating rhythm of the executive office.

The role may require flexibility to support changing schedules, time-sensitive priorities, customer engagements, community events, and executive commitments.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience providing administrative or executive-level support in a professional environment.
- Strong calendar management, scheduling, travel planning, meeting coordination, and expense management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with internal and external stakeholders.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and logistics at the same time.
- High degree of discretion, integrity, and judgment when handling confidential or sensitive information.
- Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, follow through on commitments, and adapt quickly when priorities change.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Teams, with the ability to learn additional company systems and tools.
- Professional presence, customer-service mindset, and ability to represent executive leadership and SimVentions well.
