Executive Assistant

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is seeking a self-motivated and creative administrative professional to join the global Amazon Operations External Communications team. This role is based in Amazon's offices in Seattle and will support two Directors and their growing teams across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

This Executive Assistant role requires the ability to complete high volumes of complex tasks and projects quickly with little to no guidance. The most successful candidate must have a relentless bias for action, a strong ability to effectively communicate at all levels, be detail oriented and very organized.

The successful candidate must have a demonstrated ability to manage complex calendars, coordinate international and domestic travel, process expense reports, assist with ad hoc project support, and act as a general liaison between your team members and leadership. In this role, you will:

· Proactively coordinate and engage with leadership in planning and organizing events, activities and calendars
· Track and help drive completion of key deliverables and follow up on outstanding items
· Drive key team activities (such as staff meeting agendas, all-hands meetings, team morale events)
· Manage group logistics
· Have fun at work and help others do the same
· Partner with other assistants throughout the team and across the rest of the company
