This is an Executive Assistant role supporting two or more Directors within the Global Growth Sales, Partners and Sales Go to Market organization in Amazon Ads. The EA will serve as the operational backbone for our leadership team - managing complex calendars, coordinating travel, driving team logistics, and ensuring leaders can focus on their highest-priority work. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, moves fast with minimal direction, and brings a high bar for organization and follow-through. This is a fully on-site role (5 days / week) based in Seattle.

Key job responsibilities

  • Manage complex calendars and scheduling requirements, including coordinating all aspects of internal and external meetings across multiple locations and time zones
  • Coordinate seamless domestic and international travel itineraries, including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and detailed agendas
  • Process and submit expense reports accurately and in a timely manner
  • Track and help drive completion of key deliverables, following up on action items
  • Organize and execute team activities including staff meeting agendas, Town Hall meetings, off-sites, morale events, and social outings
  • Coordinate event logistics including catering, accommodations, AV requirements, and presentation materials
  • Manage team space planning, which may include office moves, and reconfigurations
  • Partner closely with the leadership team, key business partners (Finance, HR, Recruiting), and other Executive Assistants across the organization
  • Attend key team meetings, capture notes, and follow up on action items
  • Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and proactively flag issues before they escalate
  • Handle a high volume of administrative tasks with accuracy, discretion, and a positive attitude
  • Help leaders prioritize effectively

A day in the life

Your day will be a dynamic blend of strategic coordination and proactive problem-solving. You"ll manage intricate calendars across time zones, orchestrate cross-functional communication, and ensure our leadership team operates with maximum efficiency. From coordinating international travel to preparing comprehensive meeting agendas, you"ll be the behind-the-scenes catalyst that keeps our organization running smoothly.

No two days are the same - you might start the morning resolving scheduling conflicts, transition into planning a team event, and wrap up by onboarding a new hire. You will build strong relationships with cross-functional partners and other EAs to create a positive working environment and a well-connected support network.

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
