Orbis is an international nonprofit building sustainable eye care systems worldwide and making treatment and prevention accessible to all. We are seeking a Special Assistant, Executive Office.

The Special Assistant helps ensure that the CEO’s time, information, travel, communications, and engagements are aligned with Orbis’s highest priorities. The role also supports the Chief of Staff in ensuring that the ELT operates effectively, decisions translate into action, and important organizational priorities move forward.

Sitting at the center of a complex global organization, the Special Assistant will have visibility across Orbis’s programs, regions, functions, Board, and external partnerships. The individual will move easily between strategic and practical work: coordinating a multi-country CEO program visit; working with colleagues to prepare a briefing for a government meeting; attending an ELT meeting and coordinating follow-up; preparing CEO talking points; supporting a Board engagement; drafting an internal communication or social media post; or helping manage a special project that cuts across the organization.
