About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

We are seeking a Senior Executive Assistant who thrives in a dynamic, high-growth environment and excels at managing the multifaceted demands of executive-level leadership. This individual will provide strategic and high-touch administrative support to two senior leaders, enabling them to focus on business-critical initiatives by ensuring seamless operations across scheduling, communications, and stakeholder engagement.

This position is much more than calendar management—it requires business acumen, discretion, cross-functional coordination, and high emotional intelligence. You will be a trusted partner and a key contributor to the executives’ productivity, organisational alignment, and overall effectiveness.

Your Impact

The Senior Executive Assistant will serve as a trusted partner to the executives, playing an integral role in ensuring their time, energy, and focus are aligned with top business priorities. You will act as a liaison between the executives and internal/external stakeholders and help shape how the executive office functions.

• Ensure all travel complies with company policy and maximises productivity on the road.
• Maintain a seamless experience while the executive is traveling by coordinating with relevant parties across time zones.

• Provide support for cross-functional initiatives, planning sessions, off-sites, team building, and strategic events.
