Amazon’s Stores Security (StoresSec) organization is looking for a resourceful, innovative and driven Executive Assistant (EA) to partner closely with 2 Directors in our dynamic, customer-facing Privacy organization. We are looking for a true strategic partner, who will provide proactive and collaborative assistance to our executives by anticipating problems, creating contingency plans and taking effective action with appropriate urgency in response to situations that require quick turnaround. This role will work from our Seattle Office and report to the Director of Security and Privacy Compliance. Our team drives urgent, high impact compliance programs across Amazon’s consumer businesses. We often engage with multiple Director, VP and S-team leaders so we need someone who can partner effectively with several other executive offices in parallel.
