Full-Time | On-Site | Waterloo Region
Who We Are
Creative Beginnings Early Learning & Care is a long-standing, respected, non-profit organization serving children, families, and educators across Waterloo Region. Our work is grounded in care-centred pedagogy, ethical leadership, and strong relationships.
We are in a period of exciting and intentional growth — expanding programs, opening new spaces, and strengthening systems — while remaining deeply committed to quality, care, and community.
The Role
The Executive Assistant (EA) works in close partnership with the Chief Executive Officer, providing high-level executive, administrative, and operational support. This is a trusted and integral role that supports leadership work impacting staff, families, governance, and the future of the organization.
This is not a traditional “task-only” administrative role. It is a position for someone who is thoughtful, proactive, highly organized, and able to anticipate needs while managing multiple priorities with care and professionalism.
What You’ll Do
Executive & Administrative Support
Provide comprehensive, high-level administrative support to the CEO
Manage a complex calendar, schedule meetings, and coordinate priorities
Prepare agendas, briefing materials, reports, presentations, and correspondence
Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
Governance & Leadership Support
Support Board of Directors and committee work, including meeting coordination and document preparation
Track action items, deadlines, and key governance priorities
Assist with executive planning and organizational accountability processes
Project & Operations Coordination
Support special projects, organizational initiatives, and expansion-related work
Track timelines, deliverables, and milestones across multiple priorities
Coordinate with internal leaders, consultants, and external partners
Communication & Relationship Support
Serve as a professional, welcoming point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
Support clear, thoughtful communication aligned with organizational values
Help ensure smooth information flow across leadership and operational teams
What We’re Looking For
You bring both formal preparation and real-world experience to this role. You are someone who:
Holds a recognized Executive Assistant / Executive Office Administration diploma and/or has demonstrated experience supporting senior leadership or executives
Has experience managing complex calendars, competing priorities, and confidential information
Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and dependable
Thrives in a fast-paced environment while remaining calm and grounded
Anticipates needs and takes initiative
Communicates clearly, professionally, and with warmth
Values discretion, trust, and professionalism
Experience in a non-profit, education, or community-based organization and experience supporting Boards of Directors are strong assets.
What We Offer
A full-time, stable position in a growing, mission-driven organization
Competitive compensation aligned with experience and qualifications
Health benefits, paid time off, and wellness supports
A collaborative, respectful workplace rooted in care and professionalism
The opportunity to be part of meaningful organizational growth and community impact
Leadership that values trust, transparency, and doing the right thing
How to Apply
Please submit your résumé and a brief cover letter sharing your relevant education and/or executive-level experience, and why this role — and Creative Beginnings — speaks to you.
We thank all applicants for their interest. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
