This is a highly visible position requiring strong judgment, discretion, and the ability to operate seamlessly across senior stakeholders within Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) and the broader enterprise.

The role operates in a fast-paced, evolving environment and requires a proactive, resourceful approach to managing complex priorities, coordinating across teams, and ensuring the smooth execution of day-to-day operations. Success will depend on the ability to build strong relationships, navigate a large and dynamic organization, and anticipate needs ahead of time.

Responsibilities

What Success Looks Like

The EVP’s calendar and operating rhythm run smoothly even during periods of intense change—meetings are well-sequenced, time is protected, and key stakeholder interactions are handled with professionalism and discretion.

The broader leadership organization experiences the EA as a trusted “control tower”—someone who reliably connects dots, anticipates needs, and removes friction from day-to-day execution.

Travel, expenses, approvals, and administrative processes are executed accurately and consistently in line with policy and budget expectations

Executive & Leadership Enablement (EVP Office)

• Own and optimize the EVP’s complex calendar with a high level of tact, influence, and integrity, including scheduling across multiple time zones and shifting priorities.

• Proactively manage time and attention: anticipate conflicts, build buffers, and partner with the Director Assistant to ensure the EVP is prepared for high-stakes interactions with senior stakeholders across ETS and the enterprise.

• Support the operational effectiveness of the leadership organization by coordinating across stakeholders, tracking follow-ups where appropriate, and ensuring day-to-day execution remains smooth despite ambiguity and change.

Travel, Expenses, Timekeeping, and Approvals

• Book and coordinate complex travel arrangements (air, hotel, ground), including multi-stop and time-sensitive itineraries.

• Prepare, review, and process expense reports and approvals in line with company Travel & Expense policy and budget expectations.

• Assist with timekeeping and payroll duties as required.

Team & Organization Operations

• Maintain organization charts, team rosters, and key distribution lists; support onboarding activities for new hires (e.g., coordination, access requests, administration).

• Support team administration including job postings, onboarding coordination, group-wide meetings, and team real estate/logistics.

• Process requisitions and invoices; order supplies and manage internal ticket requests as needed.

• Coordinate logistics for internal meetings and events (rooms, catering, technology support).

• Provide coverage for other Executive/Administrative Assistants during PTO or sick leave, contributing to a strong, team-based EA community.

Tools & Systems

• Use Microsoft tools (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and internal systems such as Ariba, Concur, Payroll, and MyInfo (or comparable tools) with confidence and accuracy.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant (or equivalent) with familiarity in office management and team administration.
