Description

Why Homewise We’re out to make New Mexico, and the world, a better place. We do it by helping people get ahead in life through homeownership, so families can build wealth and equity that lasts for generations. We’re entrepreneurial, fast-moving and deeply rooted in our communities, and we find ways to get to “yes.” Great support is how we grow that impact. Behind every family we serve is a team that has to stay focused, organized and ready to act. We want people who keep things running smoothly, anticipate what’s next and make it possible for our leaders to spend their time where it matters most: reaching more families and strengthening more communities.

As our Executive Assistant, you'll be the backbone of our Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors. You're a proactive problem-solver who anticipates needs, keeps the organization running smoothly, and ensures our leaders can focus on their mission-critical work. This role is equal parts high-touch administrative support and strategic coordination. You'll manage calendars, prepare board materials, facilitate planning processes, and handle the details that keep a mission-driven organization moving forward with confidence. Your mission: Enhance our Senior Leadership Team's productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness through proactive administrative and logistical support, while managing governance for our Board of Directors.

• Coordinate Board onboarding and offboarding, including orientation materials and access management
• Collect signatures, circulate documents, and coordinate remote votes on resolutions
• Maintain comprehensive Board and leadership documentation (membership records, resolutions, organizational documents)
