• Track follow ups, deadlines, and deliverables, and help keep momentum across stakeholders.
• Maintain strong coordination with cross functional partners to keep work moving.

Administrative Support

• Handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
• Draft and edit correspondence, presentations, and business documents.
• Complete expense reporting and reconciliation in a timely manner, ensuring policy compliance.
• Take initiative on administrative needs without waiting to be asked, adapting quickly when priorities shift.

Special Projects and Team Collaboration

• Support ad hoc projects that improve team execution, leader effectiveness, and operational clarity.
• Partner with other admins to share best practices, streamline workflows, and provide coverage when needed.

• Comfortable supporting leaders and stakeholders across multiple time zones, with strong asynchronous work habits.

• Exceptional organization, prioritization, and time management.

• Strong written and verbal communication, with confidence interacting across levels.

• High attention to detail, with consistent follow through.

• High proficiency with Google Workspace and Slack, including Google Calendar, and familiarity with Workday, Gemini, and travel and expense tools such as Navan, Concur, or similar.

• Baseline proficiency using AI tools, for example Gemini, to support drafting, summarization, and organization, with strong judgment around confidentiality and accuracy.

• Sound judgment, ability to anticipate needs, and ability to independently drive work to completion.

• Attributes: 

• Discreet and professional, trusted with sensitive information.

• Calm under pressure, flexible, and solutions oriented.

• Collaborative and team oriented, while also highly independent and self directed.

Work Hours: 

• This position will require you to work during scheduled hours from 8am-5pm MT in our San Francisco office. This role also requires working with stakeholders across multiple time zones, with strong asynchronous work habits.
