  • Help push forward various projects (e.g. cross functional SteerCos, information cascades, inputs and outputs of meetings, coordinating office space, by bringing the right people together and gently but powerfully reminding them what the SVP needs to succeed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills in English, as well as confidence to communicate with and convince multiple stakeholders and senior management.
  • Expertise in Google Apps for Business (Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms, Calendar, etc.) and the knowledge of how to leverage these tools for effective collaborative work.
