About Executive Assistant, Public Policy

  Description

  Amazon is seeking a bright and self-motivated individual to support the VP, Americas Public Policy and VP, U.S. State & Local Policy.

  This role will report directly to the Chief of Staff, Public Policy, and provide administrative and substantive policy support for these VPs, including background research, briefing material preparation, policy writing, calendaring, budget planning, expense reconciliation, and travel booking. The role will also support the growing Public Policy team on project-based matters related to external policy engagement and internal/external-facing projects and initiatives. Finally, this role will assist Public Policy leadership on specific day-to-day deliverables and big picture projects.

  The position requires superior attention to detail, writing/proofreading proficiency, the ability to meet tight deadlines, great organizational skills, and the ability to juggle multiple critical requests. A high level of discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with senior professionals inside and outside of the company is important. The candidate will demonstrate an 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 knowing the total picture.

  This position will work with other assistants throughout the team and across the rest of the company.
