DESCRIPTION

The Central Science Team within Amazon’s People Experience and Technology org (PXTCS) uses economics, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning to proactively identify mechanisms and process improvements which simultaneously improve Amazon and the lives, well-being, and the value of work to Amazonians. We are an interdisciplinary team, which combines the talents of science and engineering to develop and deliver solutions that measurably achieve this goal.

We are looking for a well-organized and self-motivated Executive Assistant to support the VP and lead the Central Science EA team. As part of a fun and highly collaborative team, you will be comfortable working independently as well as actively engaging in shaping and nurturing our team culture. You will be an experienced and proactive planner with exceptional verbal and written communication skills, the agility to switch gears at a moment’s notice, and the capability to complete a high volume of tasks with minimal guidance in a fast-paced, goal-focused environment.

A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information, and professionalism in dealing with leaders (in and outside Amazon) is important, as is the ability to be flexible and change direction seamlessly all while having fun. You will possess the ability to complete complex tasks and projects quickly with little guidance, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, and want to take on varied and exciting new projects and learn new skills. You will need to take effective action without having to know the total picture, and efficiently and proactively solve difficult or complex problems that affect people within the department or other related groups.

Key job responsibilities
Responsibilities for this position include complex calendar management and scheduling of internal and external meetings across multiple time zones, handling expenses, multi-tasking during ad hoc projects, preparing documentation for meetings; assisting with presentations and a variety of other day-to-day administrative tasks on behalf of the VP.
