Executive Assistant, Sales

At Universal Robots, we create robot technology for businesses of all sizes to access the benefits of automation. Collaboration is our greatest strength. It’s a belief that drives everything we do and inspired us to build the world’s leading collaborative robot – the cobot.

Universal Robots offers a unique job opportunity to impact and ensure the company’s future success in the position as Executive Assistant, Sales. This is an outstanding opportunity to work where our vision ‘to build a world where people work with robots, not like robots’ is transformed into actions.

Your working days are spent in a highly committed and very international Sales environment. Besides supporting our busy California-based CCO, you will work closely with your regional colleagues all over the world to coordinate activities and ensure good governance of schedules and commitments. You will get your own areas of responsibility and work independently with your assigned tasks and projects.

This position is a hybrid role based out of our Boston and North Reading offices, but regardless of the location, your work hours must accommodate Pacific Time work hours (as well as Central European Time). You become member of the Executive Office Team, which is essentially supporting our Vice Presidents in their daily efforts to keep the company successful. You will report to the Executive Office Manager.

Role & responsibilities:

• Support to CCO. Day-to-day support which requires the ability to see the big picture without losing attention to details. Monitoring and organizing/reorganizing schedules proactively and assisting in the preparation of reports

• Meetings, events, and travel arrangements. Coordinate people across time zones and book venues, dinners, flights/transportation etc. related to little and big meetings as well as planning and driving schedules for larger events
• Seeing around corners. Anticipate potential issues or opportunities before they arise. This means being proactive and spotting the needs of the CCO, the team, and the organization. It involves staying one step ahead, identifying potential challenges, and taking preemptive actions to address them

• Communication. You must be at ease in writing as well as verbally. We communicate all day long, and you will quickly become a key point of communication inside the department
• Functional onboarding of new senior level sales colleagues. Onboarding has high priority for us to make new colleagues comfortable and get them up to speed as fast as possible. Besides the corporate onboarding program, we arrange for individual introduction schedules to make sure everyone connects with key stakeholders and get the right training for the job
