Description:
This position currently reports to an Assistant General Counsel and supports a team of attorneys.

You would be responsible for the day-to-day workings of the leader(s) you support. Our highly collaborative and energetic team operates from the corporate center, and works with all business segments across all regions, as well as other corporate subject matter experts. It goes without saying that there will be expense reports, travel planning, hundreds of phone messages and endless calendar jockeying, but this job is very much about people. The relationship you form with the executive(s) you support is absolutely critical, because that's what enables you to become a true partner. In addition to understanding your executive's business -- and business needs -- inside and out, you'll also need deep knowledge of the leadership and workings of all departments across the enterprise.
As the "face” of your executive(s) within The Company, your professionalism, loyalty and attitude are a reflection of the office, and as such, are a key component to its success.

Every day as an Executive Support Professional is different! On any given day you might:
• Conduct research, fact-check existing work, and prepare regular reports and summaries – you'll have tasks that you "own” completely and will provide regular assistance on others;
• Create a multi-city travel itinerary, taking into account time zones, weather delays, traffic and fatigue levels;
• Interface directly with other senior executives and their support teams – your ability to work well with people on all levels and build relationships is a very important part of your job;
• Review your leader's schedule to build-in time for things like thinking and traveling to their next meeting;
• Understand the day's priorities so you can be strategic about how you direct phone calls;
• Schedule conference rooms, meetings and video chats;
• Be ready to throw the entire schedule out the door when an emergency comes up, then pick it up again when the dust settles;
• Handle extremely confidential, sensitive information, remembering that Disney is a publicly traded company;
• Draft letters, emails, and slide decks on behalf of your leaders and proofread documents created by others;
• Assist with on-boarding new employees – you'll be the "friendly face” that newbies count on to answer all their questions, including some who are extremely senior in the organization;
• Manage large purchase orders and vendor contracts; and
• Plan large, high-profile events like off-sites and team-building activities.

Basic Qualifications:
• 3-4 years supporting a Vice President and/or equivalent experience;
• Sharp written and verbal communication skills, including flawless grammar and a rich vocabulary;
• Desire to immerse yourself fully and learn all aspects of your executive's business;
• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced and constantly changing environment while prioritizing deadlines/deliverables;
• Strong proficiency with all types of computers, phones and office equipment, as well as mastery of Microsoft Office programs, SAP, Confluence, Concur, and working in a Windows environment
• A calm head and steady hand to deal with the unexpected;
• "EQ” skills to build bridges, forge alliances and encourage people to want to work with you;
• Complete reliability handling confidential, often highly sensitive information;
• Desire to truly be helpful to your leaders and co-workers and to go the extra mile without being asked;
• Some flexibility in your schedule – we value work/life balance, but in a pinch, a bit more time is needed;
• Very strong organizational skills and extreme attention to detail; and
• A highly professional demeanor, positive outlook and a can-do attitude.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience at The Walt Disney Company (this will be very helpful for calendaring)
