Professional Search: Executive Assistant & Board Liaison — National Council on Aging
| Location: Arlington, VA (Crystal City) Schedule: Hybrid — 3 days per week on-site Salary: $100,000–$120,000 annually, commensurate with experience Reports to: Chief of Staff
National Council on Aging is looking for an Executive Assistant to the CEO! 100 Million Happier, Healthier Birthdays. Someone Has to Keep That Mission on Schedule. NCOA has spent more than 75 years fighting for one idea: that every person has the right to age well — with health, independence, and financial security — no matter their zip code. Today that fight runs through a national network of thousands of partners, a Board of Directors, a Capitol Hill advocacy agenda, and a CEO whose calendar is the single most contested resource in the organization. We are looking for the person who will run it. This is the seat closest to the decision-making. If you are the one who reads the room before it fills, who has the briefing in hand before it is requested, and who can tell a Board chair “no, but here’s what I can do” without a single wrinkle — keep reading. If you are looking for a quiet desk and a predictable inbox, this is not your role.
