As the Executive Assistant to the President and CRO, you will have a front-row view to the operational planning, strategy, and execution of the Go-to-Market team.

- Work with the Go-to-Market leaders to streamline executive requests
- Expertly arrange travel and review for accuracy
- Complete details of expense reports on behalf of the CRO
- Communicate changes with empathy and respect
- Strong ability to read the room and adjust as needed
