What you'll do
Cloudflare is looking for a bright, proactive, and detail-oriented Senior Administrative Assistant who can support three VPs: our VP, Chief Privacy Officer; our VP of Risk, Litigation, and Employment; and our VP of Trust & Safety. The ideal candidate must be comfortable with a significant volume of tasks and prioritization in a fast-paced environment with close attention to detail, accuracy, and timeliness. The position requires the ability to apply a good deal of common sense and a growing understanding of work habits and priorities to keep everything working smoothly. The candidate will have to work with team members at all levels, sometimes under pressure. A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with executives both inside and outside the company is important, as is a positive attitude and sense of humor.
The responsibilities of the Executive Assistant will be to provide administrative and substantive support, including:

• Proactively own and flawlessly execute on very active, fluid calendars, prioritizing with purpose, deflecting with tact, and understanding both the short and long-term impacts of each confirmed, declined, and rescheduled meeting. Scheduling needs range from external meetings with outside counsel, industry meetings, internal cross-functional meetings, interviews with candidates, 1:1s with direct reports, and regular team meetings with a dozen or more attendees, as well as balancing work calendars with personal commitments.
• Coordinate participation in external and company events. Help book domestic and international travel, ensure timely submission of expense reports.
• Track and draft communications with tact, substance, and accuracy. Vet and provide confidential requested information to appropriate stakeholders.
• Help organize internal and well as external events and other collaborative opportunities for the three VPs, including event planning, assistance with scheduling, catering, working with the internal cross-functional teams (e.g., the Cloudflare Places and IT teams, and other Legal team EAs) to ensure a smooth and seamless experience.
• Coordinate on ad hoc projects to support the VPs as requested.
• Develop and foster relationships across the company, from the Admins of each team to senior members of the various orgs to become a helpful bridge and representative of the LPT Team. Problem solve where pain points can be eliminated and efficiencies can be attained.
