Whatever, whenever, and wherever the executive needs assistance. The executive defines the position according to their shifting needs. Some EAs are secretaries, others virtually run the company as well as their boss's schedule.
The President's Chief of Staff is an executive assistant.

Previous answers too short and trite. It depends upon the company and the executive that you are working for. It can be anything from a glorified term for a secretary to someone who is like an assistant coach on a football team. If you are interviewing for the position, make sure that you ask what is required of you if you get the position. When I worked in business and law firms, my "assistants" varied in range as to both their ability and responsibilities.......and likewise, their job duties varied too.
