Executive Business Partner

About the role

Wherever Waymo works, Business Support teams are on the job. We're the partners who plan events, work with external partners, and orchestrate the daily activities of our teams and leaders, the real estate specialists who find and build amazing workspaces and research facilities; the systems experts who develop and run our intuitive IT and business tools. Together, we do everything it takes to keep Waymo rolling.

• Independently execute high-level, complex administrative functions, including executive travel, expenses, highly confidential calendar management, and facilities coordination with full autonomy
• Exercise independent judgment and discretion to solve complex problems, proactively proposing and prescribing operational improvements and processes when possible
• Collaborate seamlessly and build exemplary trust with executives, senior leadership, cross-functional partners (e.g., HR, Finance, Chief of Staff), and teams across the organization to achieve strategic objectives
• Utilize outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport, influence collaboration, and engage effectively with diverse, high-level internal and external stakeholders
• Lead and deliver large-scale, organization-wide projects or events from initiation through completion, serving as a leader and mentor to ABPs within the function
• Drive cross-functional collaboration and champion company culture, positively impacting team velocity and organizational effectiveness

You have

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

• 8+ years of experience providing direct executive support, project management, or event planning to senior leaders (VP and above) within a fast-paced technology or startup environment
• Deep expertise managing complex scheduling and logistics with senior external partners, demonstrating exceptional responsiveness, flexibility, and sound judgment with confidentiality
• Exceptional organizational, time management, and prioritization skills with the ability to navigate ambiguity and manage multiple complex initiatives in a dynamic setting
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills: Proven ability to build executive-level relationships, collaborate effectively across diverse teams/functions, and maintain the highest standards of confidentiality
• Advanced business acumen, analytical problem-solving skills, and the ability to adapt seamlessly to different leadership styles and high-stakes partnership dynamics

We prefer

• Tech Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to pioneer new technologies for increased operational efficiency and rapidly champion new tools across the team.
• Project Leadership & Operational Innovation: Proven ability to lead organization-wide and/or company-wide projects, prescribe new processes, and independently resolve high-level operational issues through strategic thinking, leadership, and data analysis.
