The successful candidate will possess the ability to complete complex tasks and projects quickly with little guidance, react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround.

· Ability to react with appropriate levels of urgency to situations and events that require quick response or turnaround.
· Coordinate closely with Finance, Recruiting, Facilities, HR, and other Executive Assistants within the Alexa community.
· High level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and dealing with professionals inside and outside the company.
