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.

• 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
