Set the executive vendors scope

Coordinate Executive Vendor Requests starts with a written boundary. Name the request, the source, the owner, and the evidence. A clear rule keeps routine coordination separate from executive judgment.

The main risk is that a vendor can start work without approval or a scope. Record the source and time before changing a status.

Capture the evidence

A usable record includes vendor, request, scope, approval, owner, and delivery. Keep the source beside the record so another reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

The executive assistant confirms the decision or exception. The assistant can log the request, check approval, and route questions, but should not fill a gap with an assumption.

Separate preparation from judgment

Decisions about commercial and executive decisions remain with the authorized owner. Use three labels: proceed, pause for missing evidence, and escalate.

Run the review

Review missing approvals, scope changes, and delivery. For example, a vendor starts before the contract is signed. Record what evidence was available and who owned the next step.

Pilot one workflow

Start with one vendor. Test the checklist on a small batch and review exceptions with the owner.
