What we do

Founded in 2015, ReUp Education is the only organization that focuses exclusively on helping colleges and universities engage and re-enroll the more than 40 million US residents who have “stopped out” and support them until graduation, through our technology-enabled service. To date, we have re-enrolled nearly 28,500 students and recaptured over $139 million in tuition for our university partners. Today we build regional marketplaces to connect the supply of educational opportunities with the demand for skilled and credentialed workforce professionals.

About the role

ReUp Education is seeking a driven and detail-oriented Executive Administrative Assistant to support our CEO and C-suite. Primarily, you will serve as our CEO’s initial “eyes and ears” when it comes to filtering inbound emails, meeting preparation, documentation review, and managing her overall schedule and daily to-do’s. From calendar management to travel planning to building slide decks, you’ll ensure all assigned tasks are executed with timeliness and accuracy, serving as a highly trusted and reliable partner for the CEO.
