THE ROLE:
We are seeking a highly proactive, tech-savvy Executive Assistant to support the Global Sales Strategy & Planning organization. This is not a traditional administrative role - it combines executive support, program management, and operational excellence. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment and enjoys leveraging automation, data, and AI-driven tools to streamline workflows, increase efficiency, and improve team productivity.
You will serve as a trusted partner to senior leaders, coordinating complex priorities across multiple time zones and functions while also contributing to key PMO and transformation initiatives that drive scalability across the Global Sales organization.
THE PERSON:
You're an innovator at heart - organized, analytical, and always looking for smarter ways to work. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, anticipating needs before they arise, and balancing detailed execution with big-picture awareness. You bring strong communication skills, executive presence, and a genuine passion for continuous improvement.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Provide high-level executive administrative support including calendar management, travel logistics, and expense processing for Global Sales Strategy leaders.
- Serve as a key connector across global teams - coordinating communication, managing information flow, and ensuring timely follow-through on strategic priorities.
- Partner with the Global Sales Strategy PMO to support project planning, milestone tracking, and executive reporting.
- Identify opportunities to streamline operations through workflow automation, AI tools, and data dashboards (e.g., Microsoft Power Automate, Copilot, ChatGPT, Tableau, etc.).
- Develop and maintain internal process documentation and communication plans.
- Prepare executive-level presentations, reports, and briefing materials; manage sensitive data with discretion and accuracy.
- Track departmental budgets, contracts, purchase orders, and vendor activities; ensure financial processes are accurate and timely.
- Lead coordination of team events, quarterly business reviews, and executive offsites, ensuring smooth logistics and professional delivery.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Proven experience supporting senior executives or leadership teams, ideally in a global Sales or Strategy organization.
- Demonstrated experience in PMO or operations management functions, with proven success managing cross-functional initiatives.
- Strong working knowledge of productivity and automation tools (e.g., Power Automate, Copilot, Smartsheet, Trello, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with AI-based tools for communication, scheduling, or data synthesis a plus.
- Exceptional organizational, communication, and analytical skills - comfortable managing complex priorities across multiple stakeholders.
- Proficient in Microsoft 365 Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint), SAP, and other enterprise collaboration tools.
- Demonstrated ability to act with integrity, confidentiality, and sound judgment in fast-moving environments.
