Job description

The AWS Database Servies team is seeking a dedicated, resourceful, and customer-obsessed Executive Assistant to support the leadership team. The Executive Assistant will act as an extension of the leaders, and will work closely with other Executive Assistants throughout the AWS Database Services team and across the rest of the company.

As an Executive Assistant, you will be responsible for a wide range of critical activities including complex calendar management, tracking key deliverables, coordinating travel and expenses, and organizing team activities and events (such as all-hands meetings and employee engagement activities).

You will apply 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. You will understand business priorities, demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate needs, and drive improvements to build capacity for the leaders and their teams. 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.

• Act as a liaison for direct reports and business stakeholders
• Extensive travel coordination (international and domestic)
• Participate in planning of events and drive key team activities (staff meetings, all-hands meetings, supply ordering)
• Work alongside other executive assistants within the org and throughout AWS to drive best practices and cross collaboration of efficiencies
