Executive Assistant Business Partner

This is a strategic partner role supporting the VP leading PayPal's Enterprise Systems and Employee Technology organization, which is building an AI-native enterprise across finance, HR, legal, sales and IT. The role supports a fast-moving, data-driven technology executive with a broad, matrixed portfolio. This is a high-judgment role for someone who has supported a CIO, CTO or senior technology leader before and is comfortable in the language of IT and enterprise systems. You will understand the organization's priorities, manage the executive's calendar independently, and exercise judgment about when to involve them - operating as the operational right hand across a wide set of stakeholders.

Your way to impact:

• Own and defend the executive's calendar, making fast trade-off decisions on priorities, conflicts and travel.
• Act as a trusted gatekeeper and first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, from the executive leadership team to major technology vendors.
• Keep the executive ahead of what matters: meeting prep, follow-ups tracked, decisions and actions not dropped.
• Bring enough fluency in IT and enterprise systems to read context - who matters, what's urgent, what a meeting is really about - rather than handling logistics blind.
• Operate with discretion on confidential and sensitive information.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Manages calendar of the executive and daily work with some instruction from others.
• Performs general administrative duties such as travel, expenses, department distribution list, purchase orders, ordering supplies in accordance with standard procedures and practices.

• 8+ years as an executive assistant, including direct support of senior executives or technology leaders in large, global organizations.
• Prior experience supporting a CIO, CTO or senior technology executive - or working inside a technology organization.
• Working familiarity with IT and enterprise systems, for example SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday, and the vocabulary of enterprise technology.
• Excellent calendar, travel and inbox management under constant change.
• Strong written and verbal communication, and the judgment to represent a senior executive well.
• High discretion with confidential information.
• Fluency with Microsoft 365 and Outlook, SharePoint, Google Workspace, Slack and collaboration tools.
• Comfortable with a fast, candid, data-driven operating style; proactive rather than reactive.
• Experience in executive operations or a strategic administrative business-partner role in a large, matrixed technology or financial-services company.
