Who we’re looking for:

An experienced and seasoned Executive Assistant with strong project management experience to support our Chief People Officer (CPO). You’ll support him and our fellow Watopians (what we call our people of Zwift) with daily operations and project work. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-paced fitness gaming and tech company. This isn’t a stepping stone or foot in the door role. It’s a partner to our CPO for the long term.

You’ll need to be a strong team player who has an innate ability to build effective working relationships. You have excellent analytical skills, are very organized and able to think 10 steps ahead. We are a fast paced, collaborative environment so if you’ve been recognized for your strong, and proactive, communication skills, you'll fit right in.

About Zwift:

Zwift is the fitness company born from gaming, and we’re on a mission to make more people, more active, more often. The Zwift platform delivers an at-home training game that connects cyclists and runners in over 195 countries and counting! Launched from the sunny beaches of Long Beach, California in 2014, we’ve grown to over 200 Watopians ( that’s what we call our employees ) and have added locations in Rio, New York, and London. Together, we are disrupting the fitness industry! 

About Watopia:

If you’re looking for an encouraging, innovative, and passionate team, Zwift is just that. We like bikes. We like running. We also like local ice cream shops, game nights, and we take our foosball VERY seriously. Most importantly, our "Pets of Zwift" Slack channel brings you daily fuzzy, furry, heartwarming paws and noses straight to your screen. You'll be surrounded by awe inspiring people in a playful and colorful environment. That being said, we don't want you to be intimidated by the former Olympians, pro cyclists, and other amazing athletes that work here; our team consists of people from all walks of life. Even if you're at the very beginning of your fitness journey, there is a place for you here! Who knows, you may surprise yourself and complete your first triathlon if you hang out with us for too long.

• Independently seeking out information in a timely manner, applying initiative and making appropriate decisions to keep things moving, delegate items and escalate as appropriate.

• Complex calendar management, including different time zones and regions, international travel & expenses, work-related and personal items.

You’ll have these skills and experiences:

• Uncompromised integrity, trustworthiness and reliability; and a wholly inclusive mind-set.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a high EQ. Able to gracefully navigate diverse personalities.
• Meticulous attention to detail, excellent comprehension and ability to draw insights from detail.
• Able to use data to support commentary and represent information in a visually compelling way.
• Superuser of Google Suite (gmail, docs, sheets, slides, drive), Slack and Zoom.
• Ability to manage multiple competing priorities (calendaring, projects, emergent work).
• About 6+ years as an EA supporting C-Suite, executives or high profile individuals with incredibly busy schedules - ideally supporting People or HR function leaders and definitely in fast-paced, hi-tech or gaming environments.

Bonus Points:

• Project management qualifications.
• Writing, communication, and/or people-related study.
• Passion for fitness or active living, healthy lifestyle.

Some Reasons We Think You'll Love It Here:

• Fast growing, collaborative environment. Your job will never get boring!
• Awesome team of talented individuals who love what we do.

• Amazing Ocean front newly remodelled offices with killer water and city views & facilities.
