Executive Assistant, AWS Security Assurance & Compliance

The Security Assurance and Compliance team at Amazon Security is seeking a dedicated, resourceful, and customer-obsessed Executive Assistant to support two Directors leading global teams. The Executive Assistant will report directly to one of the two Directors, and will collaborate with various business partners in associated departments, as well as other Executive Assistants across the multiple global stakeholder teams within the AWS Security Assurance team.

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.

Working in a highly ambiguous environment, you will demonstrate initiative, complete tasks and projects quickly, and proactively take action without having to know the total picture. You will learn organizational structures and objectives of the teams you support, as well as build a strong internal network. 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. 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.

Key job responsibilities
• Proactively coordinate and engage with leadership in planning and organizing events, activities, and calendars.

• Participate in planning of events and drive key team activities (staff meetings, all-hands meetings, supply ordering)
• Work alongside other executive assistants within the org and throughout Amazon Security to drive best practices and cross collaboration of efficiencies.
* Track and help drive completion of key deliverables across programmatic mechanisms.

A day in the life
