Executive Assistant to M.D., Legal Services

The M.D. has a P.A. who managed administration and supports the broader team, so this role focuses mainly on communication & gatekeeping, and supporting her in a 1-on-1 capacity.

An affinity and background in law is a plus, as the majority of work is regarding sensitive, confidential legal material. However this is not a paralegal role or training contract but a pure EA role.
