Amazon Internal Audit is a global team that works across all of Amazon's businesses. Through audits, we help protect the company and help drive improvements across Amazon; our work is reported to senior leaders and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Internal Audit is seeking aproactive, customer service obsessed and team-oriented Executive Assistant to join our team. This role requires attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines and juggle multiple critical requests across internal and external stakeholders. The Executive Assistant will support multiple Directors and will work closely with other Internal Audit EAs, the Internal Audit Operations team, and other Executive Assistants across multiple Amazon lines of business (AWS, Devices, Advertising, Media & Entertainment) and Corporate functions. You will be comfortable in a fast-paced, goal-focused environment, while maintaining great flexibility, a sense of humor and composure. You will work autonomously and possess the ability to complete a high volume of tasks with minimal guidance or supervision.

Key to the position is the ability to be organized, understand business priorities, manage internal and external deadlines, and anticipate needs proactively while also serving as another "go to" for members on this team. In addition, the ability to have a high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with senior professionals inside and outside the company is critical. You will possess the ability to complete tasks quickly with little guidance, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, and take effective actions to deliver results and achieve objectives. You must learn and be curious and be able to work successfully in a team environment and build effective working relationships inside and outside the group.

This role requires five (5) days a week in office.

About the Company

A

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.
