Senior Faculty Support Assistant ($35/hr)

This role is for an Executive Assistant who's already proven they can succeed inside a college/university setting, where priorities shift fast, calendars are crowded, and relationships matter. This is a great role for anyone who has previously supported senior faculty or academic leadership and has the judgment to protect time, manage sensitive logistics, and keep multiple stakeholders aligned, you'll thrive here.
This is not an entry-level admin or generic scheduling position.

• Location: Cambridge, MA
• Hybrid schedule: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM
• Pay: $35/hour

• Running a complex, high-volume calendar for senior academic leadership (constant changes, priority management, confidential meetings)
• Coordinating meetings with faculty/staff, students, and external parties (vendors, visitors, speakers, collaborators)
• Managing communications with a polished and professional tone (email drafting, follow-ups, scheduling confirmations)
• Supporting academic operations as needed (committee-related coordination, program/event logistics, campus process navigation)
• Keeping systems organized (shared files, documentation, tracking, and workflow follow-through)

• 3+ years of professional experience working in higher education (college/university required)
• A track record of complex calendar management for senior faculty / senior leadership (multi-party scheduling, competing priorities, detailed logistics)
• Comfort working with discretion in a visible role where judgment and professionalism matter

If you do not have meaningful professional higher education experience, this likely won't be the right role and you will not be considered.
