This role is vital to the company's leadership team, enabling executives to focus on driving innovation in financial services, travel, and customer experiences that impact millions worldwide. Your organizational prowess and proactive approach will directly contribute to American Express's reputation as a leader in premium services and global commerce. In this dynamic position, you will manage complex executive calendars, scheduling meetings, appointments, and travel arrangements across multiple time zones while resolving conflicts efficiently on a daily basis. Weekly, you will prepare detailed briefing materials, agendas, and reports for high-stakes meetings with internal teams and external stakeholders, including C-suite leaders and global partners. You will handle confidential correspondence, draft communications, and coordinate logistics for executive events and offsites, tracking deliverables to meet tight deadlines. Monthly responsibilities include expense reporting, budget reconciliation, and generating performance metrics for executive review. Collaboration is key—you will liaise with departments like finance, legal, marketing, and travel operations, often leading small cross-functional projects. If needed, you may supervise junior administrative staff, providing guidance and ensuring team alignment with company goals.

Familiarity with CRM systems and travel booking platforms is highly desired. Industry knowledge of financial services regulations and premium travel logistics is a plus, though not mandatory. Success demands exceptional organizational and time-management skills to juggle competing priorities seamlessly. Strong written and verbal communication abilities are crucial for interacting with all levels, from executives to vendors. Discretion with sensitive information, adaptability to urgent changes, and a proactive problem-solving mindset set top performers apart. Proficiency in multitasking, attention to detail, and customer service orientation align perfectly with American Express's client-centric values. American Express, a global powerhouse in financial services and travel, is driven by a mission to provide unparalleled customer experiences through innovative payment solutions and premium rewards programs. With a collaborative team structure that spans creative marketers, tech innovators, and risk experts, our New York office fosters a vibrant, inclusive culture emphasizing work-life balance, diversity, and professional growth.
