Job Description
We are looking for a freelance Administrative Assistant for a top entertainment company at their Buena Vista, FL offices!
Responsibilities:
- You would be responsible for the day-to-day workings of the leaders you support who provide Human Resources leadership to a variety of our US-based business units.
- In this role, you would interface directly with senior executives and their support teams.
- You would also handle extremely confidential, sensitive information, answer phone calls directing them as appropriate, schedule in-person and virtual meetings, prepare presentations, and draft emails and letters on behalf of your leader(s).
- Most importantly, this job is very much about people. The relationship you form with the executive(s) you support is absolutely critical because that is what enables you to become a true partner. In addition to understanding your executive’s business -- and business needs -- inside and out, you will also need deep knowledge of the leadership and workings of our Experiences segment, and of related departments across the company enterprise.
On any given day you might:
- Interface directly with other senior executives and their support teams – your ability to work well with people on all levels is a very important part of your job.
- Manage multiple calendars to enable efficient scheduling of requested meetings across multiple time zones.
- Schedule conference rooms, meetings, and video chats.
- Understand the day’s events so you can be strategic about how you direct competing priorities.
- Be ready to throw the entire schedule out the door when an emergency comes up, then pick it up again when the dust settles.
- Handle extremely confidential, sensitive information, remembering that Disney is a publicly traded company.
- Prepare regular reports and summaries including time reporting and financial accounts – you will have tasks that you “own” completely.
- Assist with preparation of presentations and other client-facing communications.
- Collaborate on projects / Cast requests by conducting research, writing and fact-checking.
- Create a multi-city travel itinerary, considering time zones and other critical factors.
- Assist with on-boarding new employees – you will be the “friendly face” that newbies count on to answer all their questions, including those who are extremely senior in the organization.
- Mentor and train other support professionals in hard skills like computer programs, and soft skills like teamwork.
- Act as “casual buyer” of all office supplies for the department and manage purchase orders and vendor contracts.
- Manage external inquiries for products and services (e.g., sales calls from external vendors and organizations).
- Flexibility to back up other departments when needed.
Qualifications:
- The ideal candidate would not only have strong administrative knowledge and skills, but would also have a positive attitude, be solution oriented and enjoy working every day to exceed the expectations of Cast Members.
