Executive Assistant

Job Title: Executive Assistant

THE OPPORTUNITY: 

Although we’re proud of our history, we’re just as excited about the future.  We want to create a world-class culture and company that attracts, develops, engages and retains elite talent.  

At Salesloft, our Executive Assistants are pivotal to our company’s success.  You will be a key member of our fast-growing and high-performing People Operations team and will be the one behind the scenes “making it all happen” for our Executive Leadership Team. 

On a day-to-day basis, you will serve as a gatekeeper and trusted partner to the executives you support. Specifically, you will:

• Manage multiple executive calendars – prioritize inquiries and requests while troubleshooting conflicts; make judgments and recommendations to ensure smooth day-to-day flow

• Plan and execute events ranging from intimate leadership offsites to department-wide happy hours and planning meetings

• Coordinate travel (both domestic and international) including flights, lodging, and ground transportation 

• Develop and deepen relationships within your department and cross-functionally to drive projects and initiatives forward 

• Manage sensitive matters with a high level of confidentiality and discretion

In addition to working with amazing colleagues who exemplify our ‘team over self’ core value, you will also have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with our leaders and be a part of critical decision making within the business.  You will have an opportunity to make a difference. 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking a goal-oriented, motivated and strategic thinker who is laser-focused on making the best use of our ELT’s time.

You must be able to think ahead and understand the upcoming needs of our executives. To thrive in this role, you will always be two steps ahead of the leaders and be ready for a change that could alter plans that have already been made.  You’re highly organized, love a good calendar challenge, can prioritize competing tasks with little guidance, and thrive off of being the “go-to” person. A fast paced environment is where you do your best work and no sudden change will throw you off track; in fact, it energizes you. You work successfully in a team environment, build strong working relationships inside and outside of Salesloft, and have a high level of integrity and discretion in managing confidential information.  

This role comes with an opportunity to establish processes and best practices and make a major impact in the organization. 

If you’re looking for an opportunity to learn more, do more, and become more than previously possible… if you’re passionate about innovation, growth and serving customers and thrive in a fast-paced, developmental environment, then becoming an Executive Assistant is the career path for you!
