    We are seeking a self-motivated, highly organized, customer obsessed EA to support the leader of Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will act as partner to a small and senior team developing and scaling strategic partnerships that drive innovation, revenue growth, and long-term collaboration within the advertising industry.

    You will function as a key contributor within an often fast paced and deal-driven team, interacting frequently with internal and external EAs and senior executives. A high degree of diplomacy, integrity, and discretion in handling confidential information is essential, as is the ability to turn on a dime, thrive in ambiguous situations, and deliver high-quality results without knowing the whole picture. You will juggle competing priorities with excellent judgment, flexibility, and a positive team and service-oriented attitude. Impeccable attention to detail is required. Clear written and verbal communication is a must, as is a comprehensive understanding of the organization, leadership team structure, and business partner/stakeholder roles.

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

    Key job responsibilities

    • Manage complex calendars and scheduling for multiple executives across different time zones
    • Drive continuous improvement through process optimization and new mechanisms
    • Coordinate and execute team activities, including staff meetings, all-teams, offsites, and team events
    • Manage sensitive and confidential information with the highest level of discretion
    • Schedule & manage cost-effective travel, both domestic and international
    • Attending key meetings, tracking and helping drive completion of key deliverables, ensuring timely follow-up on pending items
    • Serve as a liaison between executives and internal/external stakeholders
    • Build relationships and work collaboratively with Executive Assistants throughout the team, across the company, and with our most critical external partners

    About Company

    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.
