About the role

Lilac is looking for a sharp, resourceful EA to anchor the CEO's calendar and travel while serving as a force multiplier for the entire C-Suite. The role suits someone who thrives on complexity, moves fast without losing attention to detail, and brings genuine warmth and support to a high energy team and environment. This role will report directly to the CEO.

What you'll do

• Own and manage the CEO's calendar; a fast-moving mix of board matters, site visits, investor meetings, and regulatory engagements. Proactively resolve conflicts and protect time for top priorities

• Manage calendars, scheduling, and meeting logistics for three additional C-suite executives, balancing competing priorities with tact and clear communication

• Arrange complex domestic and international travel across project sites and corporate locations, including flights, lodging, ground transportation, and detailed itineraries

• Support external partners, visiting officials, and international hires with visa support letters, invitation letters, and other high-level documentation requests, ensuring accuracy and timely turnaround

• Serve as a first point of contact for urgent, time-sensitive matters, including outside standard business hours, exercising sound judgment on what requires immediate escalation

• Plan and execute logistics for leadership meetings and offsites, quarterly business reviews, board meetings, and company-wide events, including on-site support at select conferences or team gatherings

• Process expense reports, invoices, and purchase orders on behalf of the CEO and other executives as needed

• Draft, proofread, and format correspondence, memos, and internal communications on behalf of the executive team

• Manage highly confidential information (operational, financial, personnel, and regulatory) with absolute discretion

• Anticipate needs before they're voiced; from prepping briefing materials ahead of meetings to flagging scheduling conflicts before they become problems

• Partner with facilities, IT, and site operations teams to coordinate executive visits to project sites, including safety briefings and logistics unique to industrial/field locations

• Provide backup support to other administrative staff during absences and pitch in on ad hoc projects as priorities shift

• Assist in building polished, executive-ready PowerPoint decks for board meetings, investor updates, all-hands presentations, and leadership offsites

Qualifications

• 5+ years supporting C-Suite or senior executives, ideally in a multi-site, industrial, mining, energy, or natural resources environment

• Tenacious and resourceful; you get things done even when the path isn't obvious and don't let details slip through the cracks

• A track record of building trust quickly with executives, board members, and cross-functional partners alike

• Polished, professional presence paired with genuine warmth and energy

• Proven ability to manage complex, frequently changing calendars and heavy travel coordination across time zones

• Comfortable being "on call" for urgent matters and adjusting personal schedule when business needs require it

• Sound judgment handling sensitive and confidential information with integrity

• Strong written and verbal communication at an executive level

• Highly organized with the ability to juggle competing priorities, from routine logistics to strategic initiatives, without losing momentum

• Flexible and steady under pressure; energized rather than rattled by a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 20% of the time, including to project sites in varied field/industrial settings

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint) and familiarity with collaboration tools (Zoom, expense/travel platforms)

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced PowerPoint skills; comfortable building board- and investor-grade presentations from rough inputs

• Bachelor's degree in business or other relevant subjects
