Job Description: Executive Assistant to FSI Directors at Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a proactive, customer-obsessed, and team-oriented Executive Assistant to support FSI Directors. This role requires attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines. The candidate will be comfortable in a fast-paced, fluid environment, while maintaining great flexibility, a sense of humor, and composure. The candidate will work autonomously on many projects as required and possess the ability to complete a high volume of tasks with minimal guidance or supervision.
Amazon EAs are the primary point of contact and information flow to and from a variety of teams, clients, and partners to our senior leaders - we seek to hire and then offer continual development to the very best EAs ready to work in our fast-paced, customer-focused organization.
We are looking for motivated candidates with experience of supporting executives at the Director level and who can demonstrate expertise with complex diary management, travel arrangements, and expense recording as well as the set-up, budgeting, and active management of small to mid-scale events for their teams.
Superior attention to detail and the ability to meet tight deadlines and juggle multiple requests is critical. Integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with senior executives is imperative. A flexible approach is a must, and the ability to change direction at a moment’s notice.
As a community, the EAs work together to deliver large-scale events and to share workload when priorities demand additional support - commitment to teamwork is essential.
