About the Role:

CrowdStrike is looking for an Executive Assistant to support three VP-level leaders across our global Engineering organization. This role provides administrative and operational support in a fast-paced environment, partnering closely with Engineering teams and cross-functional groups to keep leaders and their organizations running smoothly.

This is a hybrid role based in Sunnyvale, CA or Redmond, WA. Onsite presence of 2 days per week is required, with additional in-office attendance to support executive meetings, onsites, and team events.

What You'll Do:

Calendar and Meeting Management

• Manage complex, high-volume calendars in Google calendar  across multiple time zones, resolving conflicts and reprioritizing as business needs shift sometimes without direction. 

• Coordinate leadership team meetings, staff meetings, and department all-hands — including agenda distribution, materials prep, notes, and action-item follow-up

• Follow up to ensure commitments and deliverables are met by others across the org

Travel and Expense

• Book and manage domestic and international travel, proactively adjusting for schedule changes and disruptions

• Brief leaders on relevant travel considerations — visas, currency, weather, and local logistics — and coordinate with Global Security on advisories where applicable

• Complete accurate, timely expense reconciliation and reporting in line with company policy

• Serve as an approval delegate for travel requests and expense reports on behalf of supported executives, applying company travel and expense policy and escalating exceptions or out-of-policy items to the executive or manager

Events and Program Coordination

• Plan and organize group activities and events for up to ~60 attendees without additional support, identifying who will do what and when, and monitoring progress and resource use

• Track meeting budgets, following approval workflows and coordinating with procurement teams, catering, activities, and travel logistics

• Coordinate logistics for recurring talent programs — annual performance review and mid-year promotion cycles — including scheduling review sessions, communicating deadlines, and tracking documentation completeness in partnership with HR and Talent Acquisition

Operational Support and Partnership

• Take personal responsibility, with guidance from your manager, for well-defined recurring projects such as weekly status reporting and onsite planning

• Identify and act on issues within your area of responsibility rather than waiting for escalation; try varied approaches and persist when difficulties arise

• Surface process friction points and improvement ideas to your manager and the broader EA team

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with EA peers, Engineering leaders, and cross-functional partners; navigate ambiguity and help resolve scheduling and prioritization conflicts across teams

• Handle confidential and sensitive information with consistent discretion and sound judgment

What You'll Need:

• 2+ years of executive administrative support experience, including direct support of senior leaders (Director level or above), or equivalent combination of experience and education

• Demonstrated experience booking and managing complex domestic and international travel, including multi-leg itineraries, visa and documentation requirements, and real-time rebooking during disruptions

• Demonstrated experience managing complex, high-volume calendars across multiple time zones for multiple stakeholders

• Proficiency with Google Workspace — Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive — is required

• Proficiency with Zoom and Slack is required

• Daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your workflow — for example, drafting and editing communications, summarizing meetings and documents, researching travel and logistics, or preparing briefing materials — and enthusiasm for adopting new AI tooling as it becomes available

• Experience acting as an approval delegate for travel and expense workflows, with working knowledge of T&E policy

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization

• Exceptional attention to detail — reviews all relevant information before acting and proactively seeks review of your own work

• Proven ability to plan and coordinate group events and meetings independently

• Demonstrated discretion in handling confidential and proprietary information

• Ability to work onsite in Sunnyvale, CA or Redmond, WA on a hybrid schedule

• Willingness and ability to travel domestically with advance notice to support leadership meetings, onsites, and conferences

• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points

• Experience with Workday, Expensify, Confluence, Navan, and Coupa

• Experience supporting Product or Engineering leadership

• Experience at a high-growth technology company, SaaS company, or startup

• Cybersecurity industry knowledge

• Experience supporting distributed or globally dispersed teams
