Executive Assistant (Office of the Dean)

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

We are seeking a Executive Assistant who will assist in all administrative matters and provide administrative support for day-to-day operations for an executive leader(s). The Executive Assistant supports the executive(s) on a variety and range of administrative and office functions, e.g. oral and written communications, calendars, meetings, travel arrangements and special projects as needed.

In a fast-paced, highly visible Office of the Dean, the Executive Assistant serves as the primary administrative and operational partner to the Dean. This role ensures continuity of operations and enables the effective execution of both daily priorities and broader strategic initiatives.

The Executive Assistant exercises sound judgment, discretion, and initiative to manage competing priorities, anticipate needs, and drive coordination across a complex and dynamic environment. The ideal candidate loves solving problems and sees the ever-changing nature of the Dean’s schedule as a fun challenge. Serving as a central point of contact for senior leadership, faculty, staff, and external stakeholders, this role requires a high level of confidentiality, strong communication skills, and the ability to independently manage administrative, logistical, and office operations.
