Overview of the Role

Salesforce is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to operate at the highest levels of executive support, acting as a trusted partner to senior leadership in Italy. This role goes beyond traditional administrative responsibilities: it sits at the intersection of executive operations, high-level stakeholder engagement, and strategic event orchestration.
The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, anticipates needs before they arise, and navigates complexity with composure and precision. You will be a key enabler of leadership effectiveness, managing urgency, orchestrating high-profile engagements, and representing the executive office with credibility and polish in both internal and external contexts.
This is a role for someone with strong executive presence, outstanding interpersonal instincts, and the ability to seamlessly manage critical situations, high-visibility events, and relationships with senior stakeholders across institutions, partners, and customers.

• Manage all aspects of event delivery: concept, agenda, stakeholder coordination, logistics, and on-site execution with a strong attention to detail.

• Ensure events reflect Salesforce’s brand, quality standards, and executive positioning.

High-Level Meetings & Representation

• Coordinate and manage meetings involving C-level executives, public sector leaders, strategic partners, and key customers.

• Act as an ambassador of the executive office, demonstrating professionalism, discretion, and strong executive presence in all interactions.

• Support preparation and follow-up of high-representation meetings, ensuring continuity and impact.

Public Relations & Stakeholder Engagement

• Support executives in managing relationships with external stakeholders, including institutions, partners, and senior clients.

• Facilitate communications and interactions that require diplomacy, confidentiality, and strong interpersonal awareness.

• Contribute to the planning and execution of public-facing engagements and initiatives.

Operational Excellence

• Manage complex calendars across multiple time zones, ensuring prioritisation aligns with strategic objectives.

• Coordinate detailed domestic and international travel, often under tight timelines and changing conditions.

• Track key deliverables, manage expenses, and support procurement processes with accuracy and timeliness.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience supporting C-level or senior executives, ideally within a fast-paced technology, SaaS, or multinational environment.

• Proven ability to manage high-pressure situations, urgent requests, and rapidly changing priorities with professionalism and efficiency.

• Strong experience in organizing executive-level events and managing high-visibility engagements.

• Demonstrated capability in interacting with senior stakeholders, including external and institutional counterparts.

• Exceptional organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail and discretion.

• Business fluency in Italian and English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong executive presence and confidence in high-level professional environments.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly across diverse stakeholders.
