Make an impact at Goodwin, where we partner with our clients to practice law with integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition. We are in the business of building authentic, long-term relationships with our clients, who are some of the world's most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs, and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology, and financial industries, and where they converge. Our immersive understanding of these industries - combined with our expertise across high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions - sets us apart. As the Executive Assistant to the Co-Chairman of the Technology Companies Business Unit, you will not only provide high-level administrative support, coordination, and project management, but will also have close interaction with external clients and all levels of firm management. You will handle everything from complex scheduling to the resolution of unforeseen problems requiring immediate management. This role requires acting as the first point-of-contact for key internal and external clients, receiving phone calls, meeting requests, and correspondences, and determining the nature of the request/urgency to either answer or refer to the appropriate persons. You will be responsible for arranging internal and external meetings and events, preparing stakeholders ahead of time with an agenda or full briefing. Routine and complex document preparation and proofing will be part of your duties, including correspondence, presentations, and spreadsheets. You will also manage electronic file setup and ensure accurate timekeeping and billing. Developing knowledge of all contacts and protocols, and handling requests for information will be essential to your success in this role.
