About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Our Executive Assistants are experienced professionals supporting top executives across the globe and locally across the ANZ region. These critical team members are viewed as strategic partners who keep executives and their teams focused on company goals while embracing the Salesforce Ohana.

About the Role

This is a senior EA role reporting into our VP, Strategy, Programs & Enablement, a fast-moving, high-impact leader at the centre of ANZ's business strategy, people programs, and enablement agenda. This role will support the aforementioned VP, as well as the leader driving our Alliance & Channels business. 

This isn't a role for someone who needs a detailed brief before they act. It's for someone who reads a room instantly, builds trust quickly, moves at pace, and thrives in the complexity of a matrixed global organisation. You'll be the extension of the VP across a large extended team across multiple departments and roles. Success will mean building relationships and connecting authentically with all of them.

If you're a brilliant human who can hold competing priorities with a light but critical touch, keep things moving without needing to be across every detail, and pivot at speed,  this role was made for you.

Your Impact

You'll be the connective tissue between the VP and everything around him, his team, stakeholders, customers, and the broader Salesforce organisation. The success of this partnership will be a direct reflection of the trust, speed, and judgement you bring every day.

Core Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day scheduling in a way that keeps the executive organised, productive, and focused on his highest-impact priorities,  often making calls on competing priorities without needing to ask.

• Coordinate internal and external meetings including team meetings, all-hands, off-sites, one-on-ones, customer meetings, and cross-functional sessions across time zones (particularly APAC and US working hours).

• Proactively manage calendar priorities aligned to ANZ business rhythms, fiscal calendars, release cycles, customer commitments, Dreamforce, and local events such as World Tour Sydney.

• Book appropriate domestic and international travel within Salesforce's travel policy, including trans-Tasman (AU/NZ), APAC regional, and global travel,  managing visas, costs, and documentation.

• Navigate complex, matrixed organisations with confidence,  building strong relationships across ANZ, APAC, and global teams, and recognising key stakeholders at all levels.

• Act as a true extension of the VP,  connecting with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy sales leaders to analytically-driven strategists, and knowing instinctively how to work with each.

• Assist with event logistics, team offsites, luncheons, and business-related functions.

• Support project coordination across strategy and enablement programs as needed.

• Other administrative and project duties as required.

What we are looking for:

• Must be located in Sydney, Australia and willing to work on a hybrid basis (3 days/week in office).

• Minimum 5+ years of relevant administrative experience, ideally within a global technology or software organisation.

• Exceptional interpersonal skills,  a warm, confident communicator who builds relationships fast and earns trust at every level.

• Proven ability to operate at speed in a dynamic environment,  someone who doesn't wait to be told, anticipates needs, and acts decisively.

• Experience coordinating across APAC time zones including New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and US time zones.

• Experience setting up and managing virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex.

• Strong relationship management skills with the ability to flex communication style across diverse personalities and working styles.

• Project coordination experience at an intermediate level of complexity.

• Strong verbal and written communication; confident engaging with senior leaders and external partners.

• Working proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Google Meet). Experience with Quip, Slack, Salesforce, and Tableau is a plus.

• Right to work in Australia (required).

It's a bonus if you are:

• A natural chameleon, someone who reads people well and adapts their style instinctively across big personalities, analytical minds, and everything in between.

• Ability to apply critical judgement to competing priorities and complex situations without needing to be across every detail.

• Agility and comfort with ambiguity, you pivot without fuss and find clarity in the chaos.

• Genuine curiosity about the business, you want to understand the ANZ landscape, the strategy, and the broader Salesforce mission, not just the calendar.

• A passion for culture and connection, someone who helps make the team feel the energy.

• Ability to handle confidential information with the utmost professionalism and discretion.

• Clear, thorough communicator with strong follow-through, you close loops and don't let things fall.

Why Salesforce?

At Salesforce, we believe business is the greatest platform for change. When you join us, you're not just joining a company,  you're joining a community committed to doing well and doing good.

• Health, life, and income insurance, wellness support, paid volunteer days, and flexible leave policies.

• Access to world-class enablement, leadership support, and opportunities to work on high-impact initiatives.

• Participate in our Pledge 1% model and contribute to meaningful community impact through volunteering and philanthropy.

• Join a collaborative, values-led culture built on trust, customer success, innovation, and equality.
