Executive Assistant keywords for resume and LinkedIn
Executive Assistant searches filter by seniority before anything else. Recruiters type executive assistant to CEO, C-suite, or board support to separate senior EA candidates from a far larger administrative assistant pool, then add systems like Concur and Outlook to narrow it further. If your profile describes the work without those exact phrases, supported senior leadership instead of C-suite support, the search never finds you. Use the vocabulary of the postings you want next, not your current job description.

Where these belong
Put executive assistant plus the level you supported in your headline, C-suite or the title of your executive, since the headline is the first field recruiters see in search results. Fill the Skills section with the systems, Concur, Expensify, Google Workspace, and work phrases like board meeting preparation into experience bullets as real sentences, never a bare list. Then paste a posting you want into the Job Description Keyword Finder to see its exact vocabulary, and run your resume through Resume Keyword Match before you apply.
Honesty rule: add a term only if it is true of you. Keyword coverage opens doors; interviews walk through them.
