Sr. Executive Assistant

Company

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

We are the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco — public servants with a mission to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the nation’s central bank, we are committed to understanding and serving the vibrant, expansive communities of the Twelfth District, which covers the nine western states of the U.S. That means we seek and appreciate new perspectives and build opportunities to learn and grow. At the SF Fed, we approach our work with integrity and a commitment to service.

The Supervision group is responsible for the supervision and regulation of state member banks (SMBs), bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, financial holding companies, bank service providers, trust companies, and foreign banking organizations that are headquartered in the Twelfth District. Supervised institutions range in size and complexity from small community organizations to some of the largest banking organizations in the country.

·       Coordinate internal and external meetings. This may include scheduling meeting times, making travel arrangements for attendees, arranging onsite logistics, and ensuring that various meeting amenities are available. 

·       Support the executives and broader organization with excellent verbal and written communication skills, collaborating to deliver key communications through various channels. 

·       Collaborate with team of administrative professionals to provide a range of administrative support (e.g., host external guests in SF and other branch offices, coordinate for System meetings, large group events and conferences, procure office supplies and balance invoices, and ad hoc administrative projects) across Supervision. 

 

Requirements: 

·       Associate’s degree or equivalent work experience as an Executive Assistant. 

·       Typically requires six or more years of related professional experience.

·       Expert-level calendar management and ability to juggle competing priorities.

·       Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
