We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support two Vice Presidents in our R&D division ~ a dynamic, fast‑paced, global environment. In this role, you will act as a trusted partner, ensuring seamless coordination across strategy, operations, and day‑to‑day priorities. You will play a key part in keeping these leaders organized, informed, and focused by managing schedules, communications, meetings, and cross‑functional workflows. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a high‑responsibility support role, enjoys working with senior stakeholders, and is passionate about enabling the success of a global R&D organization.
As an Executive Assistant, you will:
Manage the VP’s calendar strategically, resolving conflicts, protecting focus time, proactively planning, and designing days that optimize preparation time, energy levels, and overall effectiveness.
Act as a communication gatekeeper, filtering and prioritizing emails, calls, and messages, drafting responses when needed, and ensuring only essential items reach the VPs.
Coordinate complex travel and logistics, including flights, visas, time zones, ground transport, detailed itineraries, and processing expenses.
Handle full meeting preparation, from agenda-setting and briefing materials to note‑taking, action tracking, and post‑meeting follow‑up.
Support project coordination, tracking deliverables, timelines, and stakeholder alignment to help keep strategic initiatives on track.
Assist with financial oversight, including expense management, invoice processing, budget tracking, and preparing inputs for leadership or board reviews.
Serve as a liaison between the VPs and internal teams, maintaining strong communication flow, sensing organizational dynamics, and helping resolve issues early.
Plan and execute executive‑level events, such as board dinners, leadership offsites, and high‑visibility internal gatherings to include annual product summits and quarterly, organizational town halls.
Embrace curiosity, passion, authenticity, and accountability. These are our values and influence everything we do.
