We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to support Directors within the AWS Telco EMEA organization in Rome. The role requires managing complex calendars across time zones, coordinating international travel, and driving operational efficiency across multiple leaders — all with a high degree of autonomy and discretion in a fast-paced environment.

Key job responsibilities
Manage complex calendars for two Directors across time zones, proactively resolving conflicts
Coordinate domestic and international travel, including visas, itineraries, and expense reports
Organize team meetings, offsites, and events end-to-end (logistics, agendas, follow-ups)
Process purchase orders, invoices, and track team budgets
Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
Act as liaison between leaders, internal teams, and external stakeholders
Identify and implement process improvements to increase team efficiency
Support new hire onboarding and maintain team documentation

A day in the life
No two days look alike. You might start by aligning calendars across three time zones for a leadership review, pivot to rebooking a last-minute flight to London, then pull together a deck for an internal - all before lunch. In the afternoon, you could be processing POs, chasing approvals, or briefing a new hire on team norms. You'll work across Slack, Chime, email, and in-person — connecting the dots so your leaders can focus on customers. If you love variety, moving fast, and being the person who makes everything run smoothly, this role is for you.
