Sr. Executive Assistant

$98.2k - $196.25k

Adobe

Sr. Executive Assistant

The Sr. Executive Assistant provides strategic and high-level administrative support to executive leadership in Employee Experience (HR), enabling operational excellence and efficient business execution. This role is both tactical and strategic—balancing daily coordination with long-term planning, process improvement, and relationship management. The EA acts as a trusted advisor and operations partner, ensuring that leaders' time and focus are directed toward the highest business priorities.

What You'll Do

Strategic & Operational Support

  • Anticipate executive needs and proactively align schedules, priorities, and resources to meet organizational goals.
  • Partner with leadership on business rhythms, including staff meetings, all-hands, and team offsites—driving agenda design, action tracking, and follow-through.
  • Provide insight and recommendations to improve team processes, communication flows, and overall operational efficiency.
  • Prepare and synthesize materials for executive reviews, leadership meetings, and presentations.
  • Collaborate with finance, communications, and HR business partners on planning, budgeting, and organizational communications.

Executive Partnership

  • Serve as an extension of the executive—representing their priorities, voice, and decisions across internal and external engagements.
  • Manage sensitive information with the utmost discretion and handle complex, confidential matters with judgment and professionalism.
  • Act as a culture and communications hub for the organization, driving engagement and alignment across distributed teams.

Administrative Excellence

  • Provide comprehensive calendar management, travel coordination, expense processing, and event logistics for executives and their teams.
  • Coordinate cross-functional projects, ensuring deliverables and deadlines are met with precision.
  • Maintain and continuously refine administrative processes to increase effectiveness and efficiency across the organization.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal teams, other Executive Assistants, and external partners to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration.
  • Partner with business unit and operations teams to implement initiatives and drive results that impact both the immediate organization and related teams across Adobe.

What You Need To Succeed

  • 10+ years of administrative experience, including 4+ years supporting executive leadership (VP level or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex priorities in a fast-paced environment with limited direction.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills, with the ability to anticipate issues and take initiative.
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with proven diplomacy and professionalism across all levels of an organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence culture and contribute to organizational success beyond administrative duties.
  • You think strategically while delivering flawlessly.
  • You operate with grace under pressure and navigate ambiguity with sound judgment.
  • You are a trusted partner who amplifies leadership impact and strengthens team connectivity.
  • You bring curiosity, innovation, and continuous improvement to every aspect of administrative operations.
