Let’s talk about the team:

We are seeking a tech-enabled Executive Support Specialist to transform how administrative support is delivered across our organization.

As an Executive Support Specialist – Digital Enablement, you will:

• Provide centralized executive assistant–style support.
• Apply your expertise in Power Automate, AI tools, and workflow optimization to redesign how administrative tasks are managed (from scheduling and travel booking to purchase order approvals and transactional workflows).
• Create digital-first solutions that reduce friction, increase efficiency, and elevate the employee and manager experience.
• Contribute to engagement activities and build Shared Services capability by coaching teammates in automation.

• Continuously assess workflows to identify opportunities for automation, simplification, and scalability.

Executive Administrative Support (Technology-Enabled)

• Provide centralized EA-style support for executives remotely, balancing hands-on administrative tasks with automation-enabled workflows.
• Anticipate executive needs and deliver proactive, seamless support for calendar, travel, approvals, and expenses.
• Partner closely with other Executive Assistants and leaders to design workflows that are both efficient and intuitive.

Employee & Manager Experience

• Ensure automation solutions make work simpler and more intuitive for executives, assistants, and employees.
• Champion human-centered solutions that enhance, not diminish, the personal experience of support.
• Act as a trusted partner within the Administrative Assistant People Experience organization.

Engagement & Events

• Support employee engagement activities (wellness, recognition, culture events).
• Bring presence, passion, and commitment when supporting live, in-person events.

Collaboration, Training & Schedule

• Work as part of a global Shared Services team, collaborating across regions.
• Report directly to a manager in San Diego, USA, ensuring global alignment.
• Train and coach colleagues by sharing automation and AI expertise, enabling teammates to design and deliver their own solutions.
• Work onsite in the Kuala Lumpur office two days per week (Wednesdays & Thursdays) and work from home the remainder of the week.
• Adjust working hours on Tuesdays and Fridays (early morning to mid-afternoon) to overlap with San Diego colleagues.
