You will serve as a key liaison across various departments—including Sales, Marketing, IT, and other critical functions—to ensure alignment and execution. Additionally, you will drive strategic initiatives and community events that foster collaboration across the Engineering and Product organizations. While deeply rooted in supporting a massive internal engineering footprint, this high-visibility, fast-paced role sits at a unique intersection. You will also manage the rhythm of a deal-driven corporate development environment, triaging incoming requests from startups, founders, and investors, and handling highly sensitive, confidential information with absolute discretion.

COMPETENCIES & QUALIFICATIONS * Minimum of 7+ years of applicable executive administrative experience, ideally from a global software organization. * Proven track record working with VPs/SVPs in Engineering and Product in large organizations. * Experience working with VPs managing over 2000+ people in engineering, customer-facing, and/or technical roles. * Ability to work at a fast pace with shifting priorities in a hyper-scaling, high-growth company, with experience directly supporting an executive staff member. * High attention to detail, organization, and process abilities; structured thinking with an operational mindset that can bring order to chaos. * Strong calendaring skills (Gmail and Google Calendar experience mandatory). * Strong relationship management skills and the ability to build a personal network throughout the company; you earn trust quickly and know how to work through organizational complexity. * Strong teamwork skills, and a confident ability to offer suggestions and improvements to the process, and work very collaboratively with others. * Strong oral and written communication with the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with senior leaders, developers, and external partners. * Technology Fluency: A genuine curiosity about technology, high-growth companies, and the AI/data landscape.
