This Executive Assistant role will support two AWS SMGS EMEA-based Directors, and will act as a seamless extension of the Director's function by supporting and will be working closely with other Executive Assistants throughout the team and broader AWS organization. The ideal candidate will be a detail oriented, experienced planner with the demonstrated ability to respond effectively and efficiently while maintaining flexibility, composure and a good sense of humor.
