Senior Executive Assistant, Research & Analytics

Join to apply for the Senior Executive Assistant, Research & Analytics role at The Walt Disney Studios. Overview

You will serve as an information and organizational hub for a department of around 60 professionals, partnering closely with the EVP, Research & Analytics. Your professionalism, hard work, and attitude reflect the office and are key to its success. Responsibilities

Conduct research, fact‑check existing work, and prepare regular reports and summaries – you’ll have tasks that you “own” completely and will provide regular assistance on others. Interface directly with other senior executives and their support teams – your ability to work well with people on all levels is a very important part of your job. 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. Qualifications

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. Education

Required – Bachelor’s degree and/or equivalent experience.
