Executive Assistant, AWS Platform - Seattle, United States - Amazon, Inc.

Description

The AWS Platform Organization, within AWS Utility Computing (UC), is seeking a dedicated, resourceful, and customer-obsessed Executive Assistant to support multiple Security and Compliance Engineering Executives, and support broader org level programs.

The Executive Assistant will act as an extension of the leaders, and will work closely with other Executive Assistants throughout the AWS Platform Organization, the AWS Security Organization, across the rest of the company, and externally with customers.

As an Executive Assistant, you will be responsible for a wide range of critical activities including complex calendar management, tracking key deliverables, coordinating travel and expenses, and organizing team activities and events (such as all-hands meetings and employee engagement activities).

Other responsibilities include, but are not limited to, coordinating meeting agendas, space planning, and ad hoc project coordination.

A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information, and professionalism in dealing with senior professionals inside and outside the company is important.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to act as an extension of our leaders in partnership with a supportive and collaborative EA community.

You will apply a superior attention to detail, great organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines and juggle multiple critical requests while maintaining flexibility, a sense of humor, and most importantly, grace under pressure.

You will understand business priorities, demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate needs, and drive improvements to build capacity for the leaders and their teams.

Over time, you will build deep and trusting professional relationships with the leaders and their teams, which will blossom into strong partnerships that provide opportunity for special projects with increased responsibility and long-term career growth.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry.
