Senior Executive Assistant to CTO

Position Title:

Senior Executive Assistant to the CTO Your role

This is not your traditional Executive Assistant role! You will sit at the center of Digital Realty’s AI, infrastructure, and technology strategy, supporting the CTO of a global platform that underpins hyperscale cloud, enterprise AI, and next-generation digital infrastructure. The pace is fast, the context shifts daily, and the exposure is unmatched.

If you are energized by complexity, motivated by learning, and want to grow alongside senior leaders shaping the future of AI and data infrastructure, this role is designed for you. You will act as a force multiplier for the CTO, anticipating needs, managing signal through noise, and enabling high-velocity decision-making across a global organization.

This role requires judgment, stamina, adaptability, and curiosity. You will operate independently, manage competing priorities, and engage daily with executives, board-level stakeholders, partners, media, and internal teams worldwide.

• Own and manage a complex, high-volume calendar spanning global time zones, senior leaders, board interactions, and external partners.
• Proactively anticipate conflicts, dependencies, and priorities, resolving issues before they surface.
• Coordinate logistics for leadership meetings, executive offsites, board‑adjacent events, and major industry conferences.
• Track commitments, follow‑ups, and action items to keep strategic initiatives moving forward.

• Serve as a trusted first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.
• Triage inbound communication with speed, clarity, and sound judgment.
• Handle sensitive, confidential information with absolute discretion.
