• Executive Communications Support: You will support executives with Slack communications, including sending messages on their behalf and managing their presence across key channels.
• Virtual Meeting Management: You will set up and manage virtual meetings across platforms, ensuring a smooth experience for all participants.
• AI Adoption and Innovation: You will act as a champion for early adoption by utilizing the latest AI and automation capabilities available to us at Salesforce. You will use these tools daily to work smarter, draft communications, and find new ways to make the team more efficient.
• Travel and Expense Management: You will plan smooth, cost-effective travel itineraries and submit accurate expense reports using Concur, ensuring everything follows our Global Travel & Expense Policy.
• Procurement and Budgets: You will raise Purchase Orders (POs) using Coupa and navigate our updated procurement systems. You will track spending for team events, work with our Finance Partners, and manage vendor records.
• Project and Event Planning: You will lead team projects, set timelines, and organize both in-person and virtual team events. You will partner with teams like Techforce, Meetingforce, and REWS to get things done.
• Relationship Building: You will develop strong relationships across Salesforce, building a personal network that helps you get things done quickly and effectively on behalf of your executives.
• Team Coverage: As part of a collaborative Admin team, you will support and be supported by your LCA Admin colleagues during periods of PTO and sickness, ensuring continuity of support across the team.
• Other duties as requested by your executives or the broader LCA Admin team.
  
  

The Impact You'll Make: By championing AI capabilities and keeping our leaders organized, you will help our legal team work faster and smarter. You will lead initiatives within our internal Admin community, act as a Trail Guide for new hires, and help shape a positive team culture.
