A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information as well as professionalism in dealing with senior executives inside and outside of the organization is critical.

· Management of team space, including moves and reconfigurations
· Work closely with the leadership team, recruiting and other Executive Assistants to provide support to the organization
· Document writing, editing, and readiness
· Have fun at work and help others do the same

This role requires attention to detail, solid organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines while juggling multiple critical requests across global teams.
