Executive Assistant

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

The role

We are looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to support the Vice President, Europe. Based in London, you will be a trusted partner who helps the VP focus on the most important priorities and turn them into action across the UK and Europe.

You thrive in a fast-paced, international and matrixed environment. Organised, analytical and resourceful, you bring strong business acumen and communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with people across a range of teams and functions. Beyond executive coordination, you anticipate needs, shape priorities, connect teams and take ownership of key initiatives. You exercise sound judgement, work with a high degree of autonomy and accountability, and bring enthusiasm, discretion and professional integrity to everything you do.

What you’ll do

• Anticipate and prepare: Stay ahead of the VP’s needs, prepare for key discussions and decisions, spot potential blockers early and recommend options before issues become urgent.
• Enable effective execution: Support the VP’s priorities and operating rhythm; manage a complex calendar, protect focus time and assess requests with sound judgement.
• Drive selected initiatives: from planning through delivery, check milestones, coordinate stakeholders and ensure commitments are followed through.
• Connect teams and keep work aligned: Build trusted relationships across the UK and Europe, facilitate communication across a matrixed organisation, and raise risks or decisions at the right time.
• Develop decision-ready materials: Gather information, conduct targeted research, synthesise key issues and prepare clear reports, presentations and meeting notes.
• Coordinate executive engagements: Arrange domestic and international travel, sensitive meetings, professional events, team gatherings and on-sites.
• Improve ways of working: Identify friction, simplify processes and introduce practical tools and approaches that make coordination more effective.
• Use discretion and sound judgement: Handle confidential information with care and integrity, particularly when managing sensitive matters.

What we’re looking for

• Significant experience supporting senior leaders and the ability to operate as a trusted partner in a demanding environment.
• A naturally proactive approach: you spot what needs attention, identify opportunities to move work forward and act without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Strong autonomy and reliability, with the judgement to involve the right people or escalate at the right time.
• Excellent operational judgement and prioritisation skills, including the ability to stay effective when plans change at short notice.
• A track record of organising and driving multiple workstreams, maintaining momentum and following through to resolution.
• Clear, thoughtful and confident communication with stakeholders at all levels, both in writing and in person.
• Comfort working in an international, matrixed organisation with stakeholders across time zones.
• High integrity, discretion and attention to detail.
• The ability to learn new tools quickly and use technology to improve efficiency; familiarity with Google Workspace and AI is an advantage.
• A genuine interest in dynamic, evolving environments and in Snap’s energy, creativity and products.

Experience and qualifications

• Significant years of relevant experience in executive support, business operations, project leadership or a similarly high-responsibility role.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex priorities and driving cross-functional initiatives with senior stakeholders.
• Experience preparing leadership materials and coordinating events, off-sites and complex travel.
• Experience in technology, media or a high-growth company is an advantage.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
