Executive Assistant

Salesforce · Metro Manila, National Capital Region (Manila), Philippines

Salesforce is seeking a bright, self-motivated, and energetic Executive Assistant with a strong history of high performance to support senior sales executives in Manila, Singapore, and across our ASEAN region. This role is designed for someone who thrives in highly complex, matrixed environments and can navigate the nuances of a large, global organization with ease. You will act as a vital cultural ambassador and bridge between leadership and the wider ASEAN team, fostering a sense of community while working closely with other EAs to synchronize operations across diverse time zones.

The successful candidate will be a master of orchestration—highly organized, detail-oriented, and a proactive team player. You must demonstrate the ability to respond effectively to changing workloads, prioritize shifting demands of the sales cycle, and manage multiple stakeholders simultaneously through high-touch collaboration. As the "right hand" to our sales leadership and a trusted partner to the broader team, you will maintain the highest levels of integrity, discretion, and professionalism while ensuring collective goals are met.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Support: Partner closely with Senior Sales Executives and their leadership teams to provide seamless support and ensure the smooth operation of their business and organizations.

  • Complex Calendar Management: Orchestrate intricate calendars and prioritize meetings across multiple international time zones, ensuring leaders are focused on high-impact sales activities.

  • Event & Engagement Management: Lead the organization of medium to large-scale activities, including staff meeting agendas, All-Hands, and QBRs. You will also coordinate local employee engagements, such as town halls, holiday celebrations, team-building events, etc.

  • Global/ Regional Logistics: Coordinate cost-effective and efficient international and domestic travel, creating detailed itineraries that account for time zone transitions and local logistics.

  • Various Onsite Support: Partner closely with the Philippines Country Leader and ESBP (HRBP) to align on and execute as-required administrative needs locally. This includes overseeing occasional Manila office operations and needs, while ensuring the environment remains professional, organized, and fully operational for all employees.

  • Matrix Collaboration: Navigate our highly matrixed organization by building effective working relationships with internal stakeholders (Space Planning, ES (HR), Finance) and external partners.

  • Operational Excellence: Track and drive the completion of key deliverables, follow up on action items, manage expense reports, and handle procurement for the team.

  • Confidentiality & Discretion: Act as a gatekeeper and trusted advisor, handling sensitive sales data and confidential organizational information with absolute professionalism.

  • Team Player: Act as a proactive collaborator and "connective tissue" within the organization. You will build and maintain strong, supportive relationships with the EA team in ASEAN and the broader global Salesforce EA community, sharing best practices and stepping in to assist colleagues to ensure collective success.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Location: Must be based in Manila, Philippines with a solid understanding of local and regional business culture.

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience assisting senior executives (CXO level) within a fast-paced technology or SaaS environment.

  • Matrix Navigation: Proven ability to work successfully within a complex, global matrixed organization, understanding how to influence and get things done across different departments and regions.

  • Sales Support Acumen: Demonstrated experience supporting Senior Sales Executives, with an understanding of the urgency and rhythm of sales cycles and quarterly targets.

  • Adaptability: Ability to take effective action and solve complex problems without always having the "total picture"—thriving in an ambiguous, high-growth environment.

  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Google Workspace (preferred) or Microsoft Outlook/Office, and a quick aptitude for learning internal Salesforce tools.

  • Communication: Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with a bias for action and a professional presence when dealing with senior professionals inside and outside the company.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience preferred.

The Salesforce Advantage: This isn't just a support role; it's an opportunity to be at the heart of the world’s #1 CRM. We value "Ohana" (family) and look for team players who bring a positive energy to our mission of driving customer success.
