I was asked this question today and had my own answer, I am wondering what the general perception is. What is the difference between someone who supports just a CEO and and one who supports executive suite c-level (more than one person)? What is your take on the difference?

I think it depends more on the company and the size. Each situation is different. If you work for a smaller company you may support the c-level team, where as larger compaies, I am sure the CEO has his or her owns assistant. I don't think there is a black and white difference but more depends on each persons job description. If you are currently looking for one of the two scenarios, I would look at both but more at the actual job description. That is where the information you are looking for will be found.

I decided to join this group since I have a new role within my company (approx 500 employees). I was hired in Oct 2008 and in Nov 2009 due to re-organisation, I now support one of the Exec team. So here is my take on CEO v Exec Staff....
The Exec members report directly to our CEO. The CEO and all of the Exec team have their own secretaries - an old-fashioned word but that's what we are called here.
I am newest person to have joined the Exec secretarial team who so it has taken some time to adjust. The girls have been extremely helpful and are very supportive when I require assistance. Some have been in the company 25 years so are very knowledgeable.
Generally, I see a CEO as the person who manages the day-to-day running of an organisation with the Exec team reporting to him on a daily/weekly basis, keeping him informed of what is going on at ground level. In turn I see each Exec member having their own team with individuals reporting to them on a daily/weekly basis. The CEO may then report to a Chairman or Country Manager.
In my last company for example (200 employees), I supported the Chairman and 2 Directors while my colleague supported the CEO and 2 further Directors. I agree that it depends on the size of the each company and how it operates, but also whether that company is making enough profit to employ a secretary for each Manager/Director.
