Executive Assistant, Annapurna Labs, Inc

Description

Annapurna Labs, Inc, the silicon innovation arm of Amazon Web Services, is seeking a dedicated, multitasking and customer-obsessed individual to support our growing U.S. organization. This role requires superior attention to detail, the ability to meet tight deadlines, great organizational skills, and the ability to juggle multiple critical requests. 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. The successful candidate will possess the ability to handle complex scheduling of meetings, travel, events, and tasks across multiple groups with little to no guidance, and with the ability to operate successfully in ambiguity.

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.
