About the Role

You'll work closely with Sales, GTM Operations, Marketing, and the broader EA team in our San Francisco office. This role is based on-site and requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and can juggle competing priorities across multiple executives without dropping a thread.

- Manage complex, ever-changing calendars across multiple Sales VPs, proactively resolving conflicts and prioritizing based on business impact.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel, including itineraries, visas, and last-minute changes.
- Own logistics for sales leadership meetings, QBRs, offsites, and customer/prospect visits, from scheduling to room setup to follow-up.
- Act as a gatekeeper and first point of contact for the executives you support, exercising sound judgment on prioritization and confidentiality.
- Prepare and edit correspondence, presentations, and internal communications on behalf of the Sales VPs.
- Partner with GTM Operations, Recruiting, and Marketing to coordinate cross-functional initiatives and events.
- Process expense reports and manage budgets related to travel, events, and team activities.
- Anticipate needs before they arise and proactively solve problems with minimal oversight.
- Handle sensitive and confidential information with the highest level of discretion.
