About the Role
SKBT Catering + Events is looking for a sharp, resourceful Executive Assistant to support our Owner & Creative Director (me!). This is a hands-on role blending administrative support with light hospitality/event logistics - ideal for a graduate student who wants real exposure to running a creative and dynamic small business. We're looking for someone savvy and low-maintenance: capable of using good judgment, working independently, and not needing constant direction - once we establish and rhythm and we both feel confident in your training/understanding of the role.

- Manage and coordinate the Director's calendar and scheduling
- Order and coordinate catering rentals and equipment for events
- Light office/studio management and tidying
- General ad hoc support as priorities shift week to week

Ideal Candidate
- Currently pursuing a graduate degree in business, marketing, hospitality, or a related field
- Excellent written communication - comfortable representing the company in outreach (some templates for this already exist, some will need to be written)
- Proactive and detail-oriented; anticipates needs rather than waiting to be told
- Professional, discreet, and easy to work with - confident without being overbearing
- Comfortable with a mix of admin work and hands-on logistics (this isn't a purely desk-based role)

Schedule & Logistics
- 15 hours/week total
- In-office days: Tuesday/Thursday or Wednesday/Friday (preferred 6-7 hours in office), remaining hours remote
- North Haven, CT (in-person location)
