Amazon is seeking a proactive, customer service obsessed and team-oriented Executive Assistant to join our team. This role requires attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines and juggle multiple critical requests across internal and external stakeholders. The Executive Assistant will act as a seamless extension of the supported Directors within Accounting and will work closely with other Executive Assistants throughout the organization. You will be comfortable in a fast-paced, goal-focused environment, while maintaining great flexibility, a sense of humor and composure. You will work autonomously on many projects and possess the ability to complete a high volume of tasks with minimal guidance or supervision.
Key to the position is the ability to be organized, understand business priorities, and to anticipate needs proactively while also serving as another "go to" for all members on this team. In addition, the ability to have a high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with senior professionals inside and outside the company is critical. The successful candidate will possess the ability to complete complex tasks quickly with little guidance, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, and take effective action without having to know the whole picture. You must be able to work successfully in a team environment and build effective working relationships inside and outside the group.
