Executive Assistant

About MST Rebar:

MST Rebar is a profitable, privately owned Canadian company that’s growing over 30% a year and changing how the world builds. Our product, MST-BAR, is a corrosion-proof, lightweight alternative to steel rebar that helps bridges, roads and buildings last decades longer, with less maintenance and a smaller environmental footprint. MST-BAR is the world-wide leader in producing high-quality GFRP rebar.

From our Toronto headquarters and manufacturing operations in North Carolina, we’ve grown past 200 people and are now expanding internationally. We have the stability of a successful business and the energy of a company on the rise.

Because we’re privately owned, we can invest for the long term and keep the close-knit, family feel that got us here. We know each other, back each other up and live by “Do it right, do it once.” We give people real responsibility, welcome new ideas and create opportunities for those who step up. Here, your work is visible, and it matters.

THE ROLE:

We are looking for a highly organized, proactive and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to be the right hand of our CEO and the person who keeps our office running smoothly. You will manage the CEO’s time, travel and priorities, and you will make sure our team, our clients and our senior leaders have what they need to do their best work. It is a role for someone who thrives on variety, exercises sound judgment, handles confidential matters with discretion, and stays calm when priorities shift.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Supporting the CEO

• Manage the CEO’s calendar: schedule meetings, resolve conflicts, and reshuffle priorities as business needs change.
• Plan and book the CEO’s domestic and international travel, including flights, ground transportation, accommodations and detailed itineraries, and handle last-minute changes.
• Brief the CEO daily and weekly on upcoming meetings, deadlines and travel, and prepare the agendas, background materials and documents needed for each.
• Manage the CEO’s inbox and correspondence: flag priority items, draft routine responses, and route requests to the right people.
• Track action items and commitments from the CEO’s meetings and follow up with owners to make sure they are completed on time.
• Prepare presentations, reports, spreadsheets and correspondence on the CEO’s behalf.
• Act as the CEO’s liaison with senior leaders, employees, clients and external partners, handling confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
• Prepare and reconcile the CEO’s expense reports.
• Provide occasional after-hours support during executive travel or urgent business matters.

Supporting the Organization

• Oversee day-to-day office operations, including facilities, equipment, maintenance requests, and relationships with landlords, vendors and service providers.
• Order and manage office, kitchen and meeting supplies, keeping inventory stocked and spending within budget.
• Coordinate client and visitor meetings: book rooms, arrange catering, welcome guests, and make sure meeting spaces and materials are ready.
• Plan and run company events and activities, including team events, celebrations, off-sites and conferences, from budget and venue selection through logistics and on-the-day coordination.
• Book and manage domestic and international travel for senior leaders, in line with company travel policy.
• Provide scheduling and administrative support to the senior leadership team as needed.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant or Senior Administrative Assistant supporting a CEO or senior executive, ideally in a fast-growing company.
• Proven experience managing a complex executive calendar and booking domestic and international travel for several people at once.
• Experience in office management, including working with vendors and service providers, ordering supplies, and managing spending within a budget.
• A track record of planning company events, off-sites and client meetings from start to finish.
• Strong organization and prioritization skills, with the ability to handle requests from several people and still meet every deadline.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft professional correspondence, reports and presentations with minimal direction.
• Sound judgment and a self-directed approach: you anticipate needs, solve problems and follow through without waiting to be asked.
• Proven discretion and integrity in handling confidential and sensitive information.
• A polished, professional presence and the interpersonal skills to build strong relationships with clients, visitors, senior leaders and employees at every level.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Hands-on proficiency with AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, using them to draft, summarize, research and organize work faster, with good judgment about protecting confidential information.

Nice to have: Experience in manufacturing or construction, or in a company expanding into new markets.
