Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Amazon is seeking a dedicated, multitasking, and customer obsessed individual to support 2-3 Directors across the Database Services team within the Utility Computing org at AWS.
This role requires superior attention to detail, the ability to meet tight deadlines, great organizational skills, and the ability to juggle multiple critical requests. A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information, and professionalism in dealing with senior professionals inside and outside the company is important, as is a good sense of humor. The candidate will possess the ability to complete complex tasks and projects quickly with little to no guidance, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, and take effective action without having to know the total picture.

Proactively coordinate and engage with leadership in planning and organizing events, activities and calendars
Management of multiple complex calendars and scheduling requirements
Acting as a liaison for direct reports
Driving key team activities (such as staff meeting agendas, all-hands meetings, supply ordering)
Tracking and helping drive completion of key deliverables and following up on not completed items
Travel coordination for executives
Participating in planning of events
Having fun at work and helping others do the same
This position will work with other assistants throughout the Database Services and across the rest of the company
A day in the life
Working in a highly ambiguous environment, you will demonstrate initiative, complete tasks and projects quickly, and proactively take action without having to know the total picture. You will learn organizational structures and objectives of the teams you support, as well as build a strong internal network. You will apply a superior attention to detail, great organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines and juggle multiple critical requests while maintaining flexibility, a sense of humor, and most importantly, grace under pressure. Over time, you will build deep and trusting professional relationships with the leaders and their teams, which will blossom into strong partnerships that provide opportunity for special projects with increased responsibility and long-term career growth.
