Executive Assistant To Chief Content Officer

Job Description

Wondery is seeking an Executive Assistant to support Wondery's Chief Content Officer (CCO) and one other senior executive. This is an exciting time to join a fast-growing company in a role with the potential to make a meaningful impact. The CCO you will be supporting is shaping the creative direction of the podcast industry through Wondery's content, TV and film business, video production, and its global content expansion. Wondery is an audio-first content company, and in this role you will have the opportunity to work closely with the content team and across the senior leadership team. We are looking for someone whose EA experience encompasses both traditional media and entertainment, and entertainment within tech, as this role will require interacting with a mix of external high-talent and high-level creative partners. This role is for someone who enjoys ''context-switching'' between creative and business orgs, who is organized and personable, and who can handle a high scheduling volume.

The EA's primary responsibility will be to act as a seamless extension of the executives you support and to help them be more effective leaders. You will have a support network of other similar roles across Wondery and Amazon. Great EAs understand business priorities, proactively anticipate needs, are capable of completing complex tasks with little guidance, and drive process improvements that continue to improve capacity for themselves and their managers over time. The right candidate will be enthusiastic, have great judgment, an entrepreneurial mindset, be comfortable with the uncomfortable, rigorously maintain composure and confidentiality, and adapt to change. This person will be able to demonstrate outstanding planning abilities, strong communication skills, superior attention to detail, an obsession for organization, and the ability to juggle competing priorities. While we work hard and move fast, we like to have a good time, too -- the ability to foster a fun and positive team environment is a must!

You will be part of Wondery's fast-growing New York office located in Hudson Yards. If you're an avid podcast listener, that's even better!

- Manage complex calendars and scheduling across multiple locations and time zones and help ensure executives are where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there

- Organize, execute, and/or assist with internal and external meeting and events (i.e., off-sites, pitch meetings, team gatherings, happy hours, content seminars and trainings, and other events)
- Be the main point of contact for all space management and office logistics for Wondery's NYC-based employees
- Be a Wondery ambassador and culture leader, help make Wondery fun
