Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Description

We are seeking an administrative professional to be the right hand of the directors of the DynamoDB Storage and Transactional Services organizations. If you are passionate about helping others be more effective, and are interested in having broad impact on a business and its people, this could be the role for you.

Amazon DynamoDB is one of AWS’s primary database technologies, and its Storage organization is central to its mission of enabling customers to develop modern applications at any scale. The Transactional Services organization develops several foundational technologies that underpin and enable all of AWS, including DynamoDB.

This Executive Assistant position supports the directors of these two organizations. It requires a track record of learning the administrative needs of a leader and organization; staying abreast of, and adapting to, changing priorities with composure, organization, and timeliness; managing a schedule with attention to detail and an eye for efficiency; proactively taking on and executing routine tasks with resourcefulness; communicating with stakeholders empathetically yet firmly; handling sensitive matters with confidentiality; and using judgment to determine the right calls to make – and when to engage others for guidance.

The ideal candidate will invest in deeply understanding the business, processes, and key players; anticipate and address future problems; improve the organizations’ processes; and increasingly represent their executives with independence.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage complex calendars and scheduling

• Schedule confidential meetings and handle confidential and/or sensitive information and documents

• Track and help drive completion of key deliverables, and follow up on outstanding items

• Proactively plan and execute key team activities (e.g. staff meetings, on-sites/off-sites, all-hands, team social events)

• Work with a high-performing, fun, and collaborative cross-team and cross-border group of EAs and partners across Engineering, Product and Program Management, Recruiting and Human Resources, Facilities, Finance, and Legal

• Coordinate domestic and international travel (including smooth transitions between time zones), and submit expense reports in a timely fashion

• Have fun at work and help others do the same.
