Executive Assistant

At Avon, beauty is more than skin deep. We are inspired by our community of passionate women; yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Avon is all about celebrating each other and our achievements in business and in life, inviting others to join us, and committing to be a force for good.

We are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to work directly with our CEO, acting as their trusted right-hand person and strategic partner.

This is much more than a traditional Executive Assistant role. While the position will include responsibility for managing the CEO’s calendar, travel and day-to-day priorities, the successful candidate will play a critical role in helping the CEO operate effectively, make the best use of their time and drive the business forward.

You will act as an extension of the CEO, providing a combination of strategic, operational and administrative support. You will have visibility across the business, work closely with senior leadership and key stakeholders, and help ensure that priorities are translated into action.

The ideal candidate is highly intelligent, commercially minded, exceptionally organized and proactive. They have outstanding judgement, understand how to operate in a fast-paced executive environment and are confident making decisions, solving problems and managing sensitive situations with discretion.

We are looking for someone who combines exceptional executive support skills with commercial awareness, emotional intelligence and a strong sense of ownership.

• Significant experience supporting a CEO, Founder, President or other senior executive in a complex, fast-paced business environment.
• Experience managing complex priorities, sensitive information and multiple competing demands.
• Demonstrable experience coordinating projects and driving actions through to completion.

• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of business priorities.
• Excellent judgement, discretion and decision-making ability.
• Highly proactive, resourceful and solutions oriented.
• Ability to synthesize complex information and communicate it clearly.
• Strong project management and stakeholder coordination skills.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and relevant business productivity tools.
• Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively and manage ambiguity.
