About the role
Grafana is looking for a highly motivated Senior Executive Assistant to support our SVP, Global Customer Solutions. This is not a traditional EA role. While you will bring strong executive support skills to the table, the primary differentiator here is your ability to think and operate as a program manager - owning the coordination, organization, and forward momentum of a broad portfolio of strategic initiatives across our global Customer Solutions organization. Working closely with the SVP, you will serve as an operational hub for the team - ensuring programs move forward, decisions get made, and nothing falls through the cracks. You are someone who sees coordination as a strategic function, not an administrative one. You are energized by complexity, thrive in fast-moving environments, and take pride in bringing structure to ambiguity. You bring excellent verbal, written, and organizational skills along with a consistent track record of supporting senior executives and driving programs in a dynamic, high-growth tech environment. You are high energy with a fun-loving, empathetic attitude, yet you are a mature professional gifted with the ability to handle challenging situations with grace and tact. You are not just eager to learn - you are proactive about leveraging AI tools and automation to make yourself and the people around you more effective.
