Devices and Services PXT is seeking a dedicated, self-motivated Executive Assistant to provide in-office support to two directors in Bellevue, Washington. This role will initially be based in Seattle (Day 1) and will transition to Bellevue in Q1 2027.
The individual in this role will be detail oriented, have strong organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines while juggling multiple requests across global teams.

This person will have a high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with senior executives.
As a community, the EAs work together to deliver large scale events and to share workload when priorities demand additional support - commitment to teamwork is essential. That includes sharing what's working: the AI workflows, prompts, and shortcuts that make the whole team faster.
