Executive Assistant (L5) For AWS Security Team

We are looking for an exceptionally bright, well-organized, and self-motivated Executive Assistant (L5) to join the AWS Security Team. We are seeking a motivated individual with a history of high performance to provide seamless support across two Director-level organizations operating in distinct areas of the business.

This role requires great attention to detail, strong organization and prioritization skills, the ability to plan ahead and meet tight deadlines—all while juggling multiple critical requests across both organizations. A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information, combined with professionalism in dealing with senior leaders, is essential. The ability to earn trust quickly across different teams and stakeholders is paramount.

You will act as a seamless extension of two Directors, each leading separate organizations within AWS Security, and will work closely with other Executive Assistants throughout the broader organization. You will be comfortable navigating a fast-paced, goal-focused environment that spans multiple business areas, while maintaining flexibility, a sense of humor, and composure under pressure.

This role requires five (5) days a week in office. Key job responsibilities include:

• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to adapt messaging across different teams and audiences
• The ability to complete complex tasks and projects with minimal guidance, operating effectively across organizational boundaries
• Sound judgment to react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround and take action without needing the total picture
• The confidence to ask for guidance and insight when necessary
• A natural ability to build relationships and establish credibility across distinct teams and leadership structures
