Job description

Your role at Dynatrace

As part of the R&D Assistant team, you're the person who keeps things moving. You work closely with executive leaders across R&D - helping them stay organized, well-prepared, and focused on what matters most. You connect the dots across teams, manage complexity behind the scenes, and bring structure to a fast-paced environment.

Calendar management

Travels & Expense management

• You pro-actively plan and organize business trips of the leadership team that you support, including offsite events, conferences and key customer meetings.

• You collect, prioritize, and package information and presentations ahead of key meetings, so leaders walk in ready.

• You will attend meetings to assist the leadership team by capturing key discussion points, outcomes and next steps to facilitate follow-up.
