Your Mission:
Medidata Executive Assistants (EAs) are skilled professionals responsible for performing administrative duties of advanced degrees of complexity for the assigned Executive. The EAs have customary responsibilities such as managing correspondence which is often of a confidential nature, communication on behalf of the Executive, and acting as a gatekeeper, in addition to handling special projects such as coordination of complex meetings. In keeping with these duties, EAs are to develop an acute understanding of their Executives’ work style and requirements, and to utilize this understanding to decide which scheduled events, meetings, and requests are most appropriate for the allocation of the Executive’s time. EAs are expected to accept the delegation of less consequential executive tasks, to perform those tasks with minimal disruption to the Executive, to actively listen and resolve problems, and to anticipate and meet the challenges of a fast-paced environment. In summary, Medidata EAs are expected to conform to the highest standards of performance, dependability, and professionalism.
