Join the Wave-Maker Movement

When you join Making Waves Academy, you commit to intergenerational change. We are a team dedicated to rigorously and holistically preparing students from 5th grade to their ultimate career success. Our mission is to interrupt inequity by supporting every Wave-Maker’s journey to a rewarding life dream.

As an employee, you will uphold high expectations within a close-knit, supportive community. This is more than a job; it’s a commitment to empowering students to lead fulfilling lives and give back to their communities. We are looking for leaders and advocates ready to make a lasting impact.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Executive Assistant, you are the strategic partner and the primary engine behind the Executive Director’s daily workflow. You manage the complex logistics and communications that allow for visionary leadership and strategic growth.

What We’re Looking For

We need a high-level self-starter with the anticipatory thinking to solve problems before they arise. You must possess the emotional maturity to remain calm in "crisis mode" and the relational intelligence to navigate complex social dynamics.

• Experience: 4+ years as an Executive Assistant supporting a senior leader (CEO, Director, or Principal), ideally in an Educational setting.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Education Administration, or a related field.
• Bilingualism: Fluency in Spanish (written and spoken) is required.
• Technical Skills: Expert proficiency in Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and design tools like Canva.
• Discretion: An ironclad commitment to confidentiality regarding sensitive personnel and student data.

The Making Waves Academy Fit

We are looking for a community member, not just an employee. You must own every outcome and be willing to participate in campus life. Excellent communication, flexibility, and a deep commitment to our mission are non-negotiable.
