About the role:
Maximize the effectiveness of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) by providing high-trust executive support to a US-based executive leader, protecting leadership capacity and ensuring the executive office operates with pace, discipline and discretion.
This role coordinates complex priorities, executive calendar management, travel, leadership meetings, stakeholder communications and follow-through across a global network. The position enables the CDO to focus on enterprise leadership, strategic decision-making and stakeholder engagement while effectively managing priorities across multiple geographies and time zones.
Note: This role does not own DA&I strategy, portfolio governance, or transformation delivery responsibilities, which remain under the accountability of the Chief of Staff/CDO Operations Manager and relevant functional leaders.
Key Responsibilities
• Orchestrate the CDO agenda and priorities: Own complex diary, meeting and travel coordination across time zones; actively protect focus time, resolve conflicts and ensure the CDO is prepared for the highest-value decisions and stakeholder interactions.
• Enable leadership meetings and governance cadence: Coordinate DA&I Leadership Team meetings and priority executive forums, including scheduling, agendas, pre-reads, logistics, minutes and action follow-up, working closely with the Chief of Staff / CDO Operations Manager on content and priorities.
• Coordinate senior stakeholder engagement: Act as a trusted point of coordination for senior business, GBS, D&T, market, function and external stakeholders; manage meeting requests, correspondence and follow-ups with professionalism, judgement and appropriate escalation.
• Run disciplined executive-office operations: Manage travel, expenses, correspondence, records, events and administrative workflows; maintain accurate and accessible executive information while handling highly confidential people, organisational and business matters with discretion.
• Anticipate needs and drive follow-through: Stay ahead of deadlines, dependencies and commitments; surface clashes or risks early, maintain action visibility and ensure agreed follow-ups are progressed without taking accountability away from the responsible leader.
Key Competencies
• Executive judgement and discretion: Handles sensitive information, competing priorities and senior stakeholders with sound judgement, confidentiality and calm professionalism.
• Exceptional organisation and anticipation: Manages a complex, fast-moving executive agenda with precision, proactively identifying what is needed before issues become blockers.
• Stakeholder communication and service mindset: Communicates clearly and confidently across levels and cultures, building trusted relationships while protecting the CDO's time and priorities.
Requirements:
• Completed Bachelor's Degree
• Advanced fluency in English and Spanish (Native or advanced)
• Strong experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant or senior executive-office professional supporting a C-suite, Executive Committee or equivalent senior leader in a complex global organisation.
• Demonstrated ability to manage highly complex calendars, international travel, leadership meetings and competing priorities across multiple time zones.
• Excellent English written and verbal communication, with the judgement to interact confidently with senior executives and external stakeholders.
• Proven discretion handling confidential organisational, people and business information, with strong attention to detail and dependable follow-through.
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft 365 collaboration and productivity tools and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
Desirable (Nice to have)
• Experience supporting a senior leader in technology, data, digital, transformation or global business services.
• Experience coordinating leadership-team cadences, executive events, governance forums or large-scale transformation activities from a remote location.
• Experience working across multiple countries and cultures in a global enterprise.
