MongoDB is seeking a Senior Executive Assistant to support our Chief Technology Officer, Mark Porter, based out of the NYC Office. US remote applicants will also be considered. This position is ideal for a dynamic, intelligent, highly-organized individual who takes ownership over the details and loves to get things done. In this role, your day will consist of managing and prioritizing a steady stream of requests, meetings and trips, and working closely with Mark and the other members of the Office of the CTO team to identify and effectively manage priorities. To succeed, you’ll have to balance the needs of multiple parties thoughtfully and diplomatically, and be ready to pitch-in wherever necessary. You should feel comfortable interacting with high-level executives, and know how and when to manage in any direction in the organization, independent of role, title, or level. You know Google apps for business like the back of your hand, and thrive in a fast-paced environment without getting frazzled. You have excellent writing skills and verbal skills - and enjoy using them. We have a team-based collaborative culture, and the successful candidate will enjoy building relationships and teamwork just as much as the challenges posed by the role.
