Job Description
Microsoft seeks a proactive Executive Assistant in Redmond, WA, to support senior executives with scheduling, communications, and operations. This critical role ensures seamless executive productivity and drives organizational success in a dynamic tech environment.
Full Description
Join Microsoft as an Executive Assistant and become the backbone of executive operations at one of the world's leading technology companies. This pivotal role supports high-level executives by managing complex schedules, facilitating strategic communications, and coordinating cross-functional initiatives, directly impacting the company's ability to innovate and deliver groundbreaking products to billions of users worldwide.
In this dynamic position, you will handle daily calendar management for multiple executives, prioritizing meetings and resolving conflicts to optimize their time. Weekly, you will prepare detailed briefing materials, coordinate travel logistics for domestic and international trips, and organize team events or offsites. Monthly responsibilities include tracking project deliverables, generating executive reports on key metrics such as budget adherence and initiative progress, and liaising with departments like engineering, product, and legal to ensure alignment on priorities. You will also manage confidential correspondence, process expense reimbursements, and serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, fostering smooth collaboration. Expect to oversee office supplies, vendor relations, and special projects like executive presentations or board meeting preparations, all while maintaining the highest standards of discretion and efficiency.
To succeed, you need a bachelor's degree in business administration, communications, or a related field, plus at least 5-7 years of executive support experience in a fast-paced tech or corporate environment. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams, is essential, along with experience using enterprise tools like SAP for expenses or Concur for travel. Strong organizational skills with proven ability to manage multiple calendars and virtual meeting platforms are required, as is familiarity with executive-level protocol and data privacy regulations like GDPR. Prior experience supporting C-suite leaders in the technology industry is highly preferred.
Beyond technical expertise, you must excel in soft skills such as exceptional verbal and written communication, the ability to anticipate needs proactively, and impeccable judgment in handling sensitive information. Strong interpersonal abilities will help you build relationships across all levels, while adaptability and a solutions-oriented mindset ensure you thrive amid shifting priorities. Time management and multitasking competencies are crucial, complemented by a customer-service focus that treats every interaction as an opportunity to enhance executive effectiveness.
