PerkinElmer is seeking an Executive Assistant to partner with up to three Senior Vice Presidents, including the SVP, Product Management & Global Marketing, Chief Technology Officer and President. The EA enables these leaders to be effective by protecting their time, anticipating business needs, and driving disciplined follow-through across their organisations.

This is a business partnership role, not traditional administrative support. The EA runs each leader's operating rhythm, coordinates confidential and sensitive activity, and keeps the SVPs focused on their highest-priority work.

Success requires sound judgment, discretion, business acumen, and the ability to balance competing demands from several leaders independently in a fast-paced global environment. The role is hybrid, with approximately three days per week onsite and flexibility around executive travel and business needs.

Location: This will be M-F on site in our Woodbridge, ON office.
