As the Executive Assistant to the senior leaders of the Marketing organization and Talent organization, you will have a front-row view to the operational planning, strategy, and execution of the marketing, product marketing, education & advocacy and talent teams. This role requires a sharp, independent self-starter who executes with confidence and grace under pressure, but garners respect through operating with thoughtfulness, empathy, and a deep understanding of the organization’s mission, vision, and values.

While the Executive Assistant will require expert travel planning and calendar management skills, the ideal candidate will feel comfortable thinking holistically and strategically about all projects outside of basic administration.

  • Work with marketing and talent teams to streamline executive requests
  • Expertly arrange travel, and review for accuracy
  • Complete details of expense reports on behalf of the leaders
  • Communicate changes with empathy and respect
  • Strong ability to read the room and adjust as needed
