This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized, proactive professional who excels in fast‑paced settings and enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and supporting partners at all levels of the organization.

You’ll provide advanced administrative support to HR executives, oversee front‑office operations, coordinate meetings and events, manage travel and confidential documents, and ensure seamless logistical support for HR teams.

Knowledge of UA policies and administrative systems—or the ability to learn them quickly—is required, along with proficiency in Google Workspace and tools such as Docu Sign and Board Docs. The role requires the ability to work both independently and collaboratively across HR functions, including support of Labor & Employee Relations and Customer Service staff in Anchorage. Experience supporting senior executives or complex administrative units is preferred.
