This position will report to the EVP, Research & Analytics.

For the Studio, Corporate, and Disney+ Insights team, the consumer is at the heart of everything we do. We are charged with finding the best methods to understand our customers’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We do this in pursuit of making our products and services the best they can be and shaping marketing campaigns that will surprise and delight audiences around the world.

This position certainly involves expense reports, travel planning, lots of phone messages and calendar jockeying, but this job is very much about people. The relationship you form with the executive you support is absolutely critical, because that’s what enables you to become a true partner. In addition to understanding your executive’s business needs, inside and out, you’ll also need deep knowledge of the leadership and workings across the Disney enterprise. As the “face” of your executive within The Walt Disney Company, your professionalism, hard work, and attitude are a reflection of the office, and as such, are a key component to its success. Lastly, you will serve as an information and organizational hub for a department of around 60 professionals. Every day as an Executive Assistant is different! On any given day you might:

  • Juggle a fast-moving and ever-changing schedule for your leader, constantly communicating to design a productive week
  • 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 and emails on behalf of your leader
  • Assist with on-boarding new employees – you’ll be the “friendly face” that new hires count on to answer all their questions
  • Manage large purchase orders and vendor contracts
  • Plan events such as business summits, off-sites and team-building activities

Here’s what you will need to be successful in this role:

  • At least 2 years supporting a Vice President or higher-level executive and/or equivalent experience;
  • Sharp written and verbal communication skills, including flawless grammar
  • Desire to immerse yourself fully and learn all aspects of your executive’s business
  • Ability to multi-task and prioritize 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, 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
  • A highly professional demeanor, positive outlook and a can-do attitude

It would be great if you also had these skills:

  • Experience at The Walt Disney Company
  • Experience working in a large public corporation; and
