- The Executive Assistant will partner with the executive to craft messages to key stakeholders
- It is important for the EA to take time to understand the business, the key stakeholders, and the goals of the Marketing organization, and use all available resources to gather context when details are ambiguous
- Align the leaders’ time with their priorities
- Own the planning and execution of projects, but delegate when needed
- Increase the leaders’ bandwidth and productivity by proactively taking things off their plate and driving projects to completion
- Lead the agenda planning, communication and recaps of the marketing and talent leadership team meetings and summits, including event planning on behalf of the leaders

Seismic leverages machine learning to automate key parts of the sales and marketing cycle and to personalize documents for individual sales reps.
With substantial rounds of funding behind it, Seismic has been living up to its name by being announced as a Global Leader in its sector in late 2022 by Forrester Research.
