Executive Assistant

As Immerse continues to grow in Central Arkansas, we are looking for an Executive Assistant to support and be an extension to the Central Arkansas Executive Director—someone who sees around corners, protects the Executive Director’s time, and keeps the Conway location running with warmth and professionalism when the Executive Director isn’t onsite. The role will spend approximately 25% of their time in Conway, which means this person will often be supporting the Executive Director virtually, while working with the team in the Conway office. You will greet community members, manage office operations, represent the Executive Director’s priorities, and handle both logistical and relational tasks with equal skill. The Executive Assistant is a full-time, in-person role based in Conway, AR.

Provide support to the Executive Director - support the Executive Director with various administrative duties including finance, board relations, communications, scheduling, data entry, developing materials, and other needs.

Manage Office Administration - manage the general administrative operations for Immerse including setting up meetings, internal communications, scheduling of Immerse-wide events, and making sure the offices have what they need to be successful.

Support the Senior Leadership Team - assist in the areas of finance and development in various different ways including data entry, preparing thank you notes, entering bills and accounts payable, and occasionally serving as a proxy for leadership team members.

Seek Team and Personal Development - Continually seek opportunities for growth, understanding, and balance to maintain health, both individually and as a member of the Immerse Arkansas team. Promote teamwork through collaboration, support, and communication.

In addition, you:

• Carry yourself professionally in any room—whether greeting a funder, a DCFS caseworker, or a youth off the street
• Think ahead. You don’t wait to be told what’s needed—you see it and handle it
• Communicate clearly in writing and in person. You can hold a conversation and write a professional email with equal ease
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and capable of making reasonable judgment calls when the Executive Director is unavailable
• Embrace AI tools as a force multiplier—you’re curious, adaptable, and not precious about learning new systems
