Senior Executive Associate

What you will do

Let's do this. Let's change the world. In this vital role the Senior Executive Associate will be responsible for performing senior level administrative support activities for the Senior Vice President, Strategy.

The Senior Executive Associate's work assignments are complex in nature and require absolute discretion as well as considerable tact, judgment, creativity, and initiative. The Senior Executive Associate must be able to manage several priorities in a continually changing environment.

Specific responsibilities include coordinating workflow by reviewing email and other correspondence and determining importance prior to distributing to the executive; screening and directing incoming calls/ correspondence/ visitors; and answering certain questions and furnishing certain types of information on behalf of the SVP.

Key aspects of this position include:
  • Effectively managing the calendar and domestic and international travel arrangements against dynamic business requirements
  • Preparing the SVP with pre-read and briefing documents in advance of daily meetings and appointments
  • Reviewing, prioritizing, and flagging high priority communications (e-mails and documentation) for timely and appropriate response
  • Timely and efficient processing of expense reports
  • Managing logistics and performing key tasks for a variety of business meetings (senior leadership team meetings/dinners, on sites, all staffs), including preparing agendas, meeting materials/business documents, and presenters, and tracking action items
  • Reporting on the status of assignments
  • Interpreting and relaying pertinent issues related to the day-to-day business
  • Acting as a liaison between the SVPs peers and groups under the responsibility of the SVP and building strong working relationships with other CEO staff member assistants, Strategy Planning and Operations (SPO) stakeholders, Corporate Communications, Finance, Human Resources, and other Amgen groups which support the SVP organization.
  • Additional support activities include independently preparing and assisting SVP in coordination of management issues, (i.e., annual reviews, organization/department/staff goals and objectives).
This will be a hybrid position: the Senior Executive Associate will work primarily from home but will be expected to work from the Thousand Oaks campus when the SVP is onsite.
