What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Executive Assistant to the CTO position at Digital Realty?
Job Description
Position Title: Senior Executive Assistant to the CTO
Location: Denver, CO
Your role This is not your traditional Executive Assistant role! You will sit at the center of Digital Realty’s AI, infrastructure, and technology strategy, supporting the CTO of a global platform that underpins hyperscale cloud, enterprise AI, and next-generation digital infrastructure. The pace is fast, the context shifts daily, and the exposure is unmatched.
If you are energized by complexity, motivated by learning, and want to grow alongside senior leaders shaping the future of AI and data infrastructure, this role is designed for you. You will act as a force multiplier for the CTO, anticipating needs, managing signal through noise, and enabling high-velocity decision-making across a global organization.
This role requires judgment, stamina, adaptability, and curiosity. You will operate independently, manage competing priorities, and engage daily with executives, board-level stakeholders, partners, media, and internal teams worldwide.
