About the role

Executive Assistant to support a group of 3 Sales VPs in Cognition's go-to-market organization. High-trust, high-visibility role providing calendar, travel, logistics, and cross-functional coordination to keep sales leadership focused on revenue and team growth.

Responsibilities

  • Manage complex, ever-changing calendars across multiple Sales VPs, proactively resolving conflicts and prioritizing based on business impact.
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel, including itineraries, visas, and last-minute changes.
  • Own logistics for sales leadership meetings, QBRs, offsites, and customer/prospect visits, from scheduling to room setup to follow-up.
  • Act as a gatekeeper and first point of contact for the executives you support, exercising sound judgment on prioritization and confidentiality.
  • Prepare and edit correspondence, presentations, and internal communications on behalf of the Sales VPs.
  • Partner with GTM Operations, Recruiting, and Marketing to coordinate cross-functional initiatives and events.
  • Process expense reports and manage budgets related to travel, events, and team activities.
  • Anticipate needs before they arise and proactively solve problems with minimal oversight.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, ideally supporting multiple executives or a sales/GTM leadership team in tech.

  • Exceptional organizational skills and an ability to context-switch across multiple executives' priorities without losing detail.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interfacing with senior leaders, customers, and external partners.
  • Sound judgment and discretion when handling confidential or sensitive information.
  • Proficiency with calendar, travel, and productivity tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Ramp, Salesforce).
