Executive Assistant
The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County
Santa Barbara, CA (On-site) | Full Time, Non-exempt | $33.65 to $40.00 per hour
About the Land Trust
For over 40 years, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County has worked to protect the spectacular landscapes, essential habitats, working farms and ranches, and open spaces that make this county so special. With nearly 59,000 acres conserved and a growing network of preserves and community programs, we’re expanding our work to better serve everyone who calls Santa Barbara County home.
The Role
We’re looking for an organized, warm, and discreet Executive Assistant to support our Executive Director and Board of Trustees. You’ll manage the Executive Director’s calendar and correspondence, prepare her for each day and week, and keep commitments moving forward. You’ll also be the backbone of our board operations, from scheduling and meeting packets to minutes and meeting day logistics.
This role is perfect for someone who finds real satisfaction in making someone else’s day run smoothly, and who is just as comfortable stacking chairs after a committee meeting as drafting a polished note to a Trustee.
What You’ll Do
- Manage the Executive Director’s calendar, correspondence, and incoming requests, protecting focus time and routing items to the right people
- Prepare briefing materials and track commitments and follow ups through to completion
- Coordinate travel, donor visits, and external meetings, including itineraries and expense documentation
- Schedule board and committee meetings, assemble and distribute packets, and prepare draft minutes
- Maintain board rosters, governance records, and conflict of interest forms, and coordinate Trustee onboarding
- Welcome Trustees, donors, and visitors to our Santa Barbara office and provide backup front desk coverage
- Support senior leadership with scheduling and special projects as capacity allows
