About TemperPack

TemperPack is a rapidly growing company based in Richmond, Virginia and with locations in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Lansing, Michigan. We design and manufacture innovative, sustainable packaging components for cold-chain shipping of food and pharmaceutical products. The markets we serve have an urgent need for disruptive, sustainable alternatives to replace the wide array of non-sustainable packaging materials conventionally used in the cold-chain such as Styrofoam coolers. Our aspiration is to provide packaging solutions that customers and end-consumers feel great about using.

Essential Job Functions:

• Manage complex, high-priority calendars for the CEO and ELT — appointments, prioritization, and proactive conflict resolution
• Coordinate executive travel: flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itineraries that are accurate and ready before departure
• Prepare and reconcile expense reports for executive team members
• Organize internal and external meetings end-to-end: scheduling, agendas, reminders, venue booking, and catering coordination
• Support Board of Directors meeting logistics, including preparation, scheduling, and follow-up coordination
• Serve as the front-of-house for the Richmond office — greeting visitors, managing the environment, and owning the experience from arrival to departure
• Manage corporate travel accounts, purchasing cards, and vendor relationships for office needs
• Support our commercial team with trade show planning, customer event coordination, and travel logistics
• Provide remote support to Las Vegas and Holt, MI offices on office management and company events
• Partner with the Chief of Staff on special projects, communications support, and cross-functional coordination as needed

Education and Experience:

• 6–8 years of experience supporting a C-suite or executive team in a fast-paced environment
• Exceptional organizational skills — you can manage multiple moving parts without dropping anything
• Outstanding written and verbal communication; you can draft a message or set an agenda that represents leadership well
• Deep proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Discretion is non-negotiable — you handle sensitive information with maturity and confidentiality
• Proactive by default: you don’t wait to be told, you identify what’s needed and move
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make sound decisions without step-by-step guidance
• A genuine team player who brings positive energy and takes pride in making others more effective
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent and ongoing basis. This position is not eligible for employment visa sponsorship now or in the future.
