Description The Communications and Corporate Responsibility (CCR) organization is seeking a Executive Assistant II to provide single-threaded support to the Vice President in our Global Corporate Communications group (GCC). This is a great opportunity to join a high functioning team with plenty of new challenges & responsibilities for you to grow and further your professional career. From day one, this role will focus on keeping the organization's leader and team organized, informed, and on task. High-level calendar management and scheduling will require extremely high standards and attention to detail, as well as superb time management and organizational skills. You should be comfortable juggling multiple priorities, have the ability to manage last-minute escalations with grace, and serve as a leader in the team- helping to develop, mentor, build community among, and partner with other Executive Assistants throughout the organization to get things done. You must dive deep to understand the GCC organization and business priorities, then proactively anticipate needs and drive improvements. For example, you should learn the team well enough to anticipate, schedule, plan and execute events (ranging from regular culture-building events in key offices to large-scale summits for several hundred people). You will need to be a self-starter - proactively working through ambiguity, thinking big about the organization, looking around corners, and proposing ideas and options before you're asked, including new mechanisms or ways of working that will help strengthen the org. In doing so, you will need to be a simplifier for the VP of GCC and the entire org. This role requires professionalism, integrity, and discretion in handling confidential information. You should be resourceful, forward-thinking, and a creative problem solver. We are a highly collaborative team, and in this role, are seeking someone who is both comfortable working independently, and will actively engage in helping to shape and nurture our team culture. This role requires five (5) days a week in office. Key job responsibilities - Own complex calendar and scheduling - Own domestic and international travel - Manage expense report coordination and submission - Be a self-starter who proactively cuts through ambiguity - identifying issues and opportunities and proposing ways to address them. - Proactively develop, organize, plan and execute or assist with team activities (Staff meetings; All-Team meetings; Off-Sites; and team social events/recognition). This includes proactively building out quarterly and annual calendars of events, and developing recommendations about cadence and content for events. - Track and help drive completion of key deliverables and follow up on overdue items - Manage team space, including moves, new hire location assignments, and re-configurations (responsible for driving both for logistical details and change management with the team) - Work closely with the leadership team and our business partners - Serve as a Lead EA - helping to grow and develop other EAs, and being the bridge between other Lead EAs and the EA team in GCC. - Partner with other Assistants throughout the team and across the company - Have fun at work-while juggling multiple fast-moving priorities, an ever-changing landscape, and significant ambiguity-and help others do the same About the team *Team Culture* Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences.

About the Company

Amazon

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. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. 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.
