Amazon Key's SMB organization is looking for a sharp, resourceful, and AI-savvy Executive Assistant to serve as the operational backbone to a VP and additional leaders. This is not a traditional EA role — you will function as a force multiplier for the leadership team, blending executive support with strategic operational leadership to keep priorities aligned, decisions moving, and the organization running at peak efficiency.
The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of people, process, and technology. You are someone who doesn't just manage calendars — you architect them. You don't just handle information — you synthesize it. And when a new AI tool or automation can eliminate friction, you're the first to find it, test it, and put it to work. You bring strong organizational instincts, sound judgment under pressure, and the ability to anticipate what leadership needs before they ask. You operate with the highest level of integrity, discretion, and professionalism when engaging with senior executives both inside and outside of Amazon.
A successful candidate will be an expert at completing complex tasks quickly with limited guidance, reacting with appropriate urgency to fast-moving situations, and driving effective action across the organization.
Key job responsibilities
- Proactively manage complex executive calendars, prioritizing and allocating time effectively while adapting quickly as business needs shift.
- Plan, organize, and execute team events, offsites, and leadership meetings, coordinating logistics and managing stakeholder communications throughout the process.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel arrangements and prepare accurate expense reports in compliance with company policies and guidelines.
- Identify opportunities to streamline cross-team processes and procedures, driving improvements that increase efficiency across the organization.
- Prepare, curate, and edit content and written communications on behalf of leaders, partnering with key stakeholders to ensure accuracy and alignment with organizational priorities.
A day in the life
Your morning might begin by reviewing your executives' schedules for the week, adjusting priorities based on newly emerging business needs. By midday, you could be coordinating logistics for an upcoming leadership offsite while fielding requests from cross-functional partners. Throughout it all, you will use your judgment to anticipate what your leaders need before they ask, keeping operations running smoothly and making a real impact on organizational goals.
About the team
Our team values collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning. We are building an inclusive environment where knowledge sharing is encouraged and every team member has the opportunity to grow. You will work alongside experienced professionals who are committed to supporting your development and helping you take on increasingly complex challenges. If you are excited about making a meaningful contribution while expanding your skills, we would love to hear from you.
