Job Summary:
This is the senior-level of the Administrative Assistant job family, accountable for providing highly responsible administrative and secretarial services to relieve an CHI Franciscan Leader/Director(s) of day-to-day administrative detail so that he/she can concentrate on the significant aspects of his/her own position. The role involves applying knowledge of the Leader/Director’s work objectives and viewpoints and representing the Leader/Director in actions taken within delegated scope of authority.
While the nature of the work is essentially the same as performed by an Administrative Assistant I, the Leader/Director supported is a local/market Director or a Regional Director with service line responsibility. Incumbents are exposed to sensitive information involving not just a particular functional discipline, but the entire organization. Assignments vary considerably as to volume of work, specific duties performed and overall scope of responsibility, depending on the delegation style of the Leader. Although responsible for providing substantive assistance to a key manager, this position does not have independent executive authority.
An incumbent uses considerable knowledge of company organization, policies and practices to facilitate the exercise of independent judgment in making routine administrative decisions and in the approach to take to handle non-routine situations. Incumbents are proficient in all aspects of the work, and may function in a “lead” role with regard to ongoing work or special project- or team-oriented assignments.

Work may involve the development of moderately complex PC databases, spreadsheets, presentation or graphic materials.
