Heart of the Action at Global Leader

This position offers you the opportunity to provide high-level executive support for the new CEO at the largest data center provider in the world. Combining your sense of urgency and calm competence, you will help the CEO stay organized and on task, including scheduling meetings, gatekeeping, planning travel and handling changes that arise, supporting special projects, and more. Here in our global headquarters you'll find an entrepreneurial, high-energy environment driven by innovation at the intersection of real estate and high tech. Working directly for the CEO will also allow you to spotlight your talent as you make a wide and visible impact.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. supports the data center and colocation strategies of more than 600 firms across its secure, network-rich portfolio of data centers located throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Digital Realty's clients include domestic and international companies of all sizes, ranging from financial services, cloud and information technology services, to manufacturing, energy, gaming, life sciences and consumer products.

With the acquisition of Telx in October 2015, Digital Realty is uniquely positioned to provide a complete range of data center solutions on a global scale that best fit our customers' needs. At the same time, we can now connect them to the cloud and their critical partners on an open platform that includes 135 properties and 198 buildings in 32 markets around the globe.

To meet the basic qualifications for this role you will have legal authorization to work permanently in the United States for any employer without requiring a visa transfer or visa sponsorship. To be a good fit for the Executive Assistant to the CEO opportunity, you also should have:
  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Administrative Assistant supporting C-Level executives  Quick question for you - click here

In addition, you will need the following core characteristics and competencies:
  • An appropriate sense of urgency as well as the ability to maintain a level-headed approach to coordinating multiple activities and priorities
  • The ability not only to coordinate travel, but also to respond to last-minute itinerary changes effectively
  • Excellent gatekeeping, calendaring and planning skills
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills with strict attention to detail

The Role

In this critical role, you will directly support and serve as the right hand of the CEO, keeping him organized, managing his calendar, supporting projects and presentations, acting as gatekeeper -- doing whatever is needed to allow him to optimally perform his role.

The CEO travels quite a bit, mostly domestically but also to Europe and Asia, and if you're the person we're looking for, you know that things come up: flight delays, changes in plans, etc. You'll need to be effective at staying "one step ahead" of the CEO as he travels, ready to change a flight, order a car, or book a room at the last minute. Quick question for you - click here

Specifically, you will be responsible for:
  • Coordinating the CEO's calendar, including working with multiple parties to set up face-to-face meetings and conference calls. This may include ensuring refreshments are available
  • Gatekeeping
  • Working with spreadsheets and developing reports
  • Tracking and managing expenses
  • Supporting projects with prep work, research, etc.
  • Creating PowerPoints, Word docs and other presentation collateral  Quick question for you - click here

Why Digital Realty

Professional Development -- in this multi-faceted role, you're bound to gain experience in a variety of areas that are new to you. For example, you'll learn about both the data center and real estate industries, if you don't already know them. The CEO places a strong emphasis on employee development and you'll have the opportunity to continuously learn new skills as you evolve and grow. We are committed to helping our people grow professionally, including providing training opportunities.

Career development -- this role can provide you with challenges and professional fulfillment well into the future. At the same time, if you have the aptitude and ambition, our ongoing growth -- here in San Francisco and in other locations -- will create advancement opportunities for strong performers.

Exciting time to join -- with the acquisition of Telx, Digital Realty adds robust colocation, strategic network dense connectivity, a vast and open partner ecosystem and unmatched freedom of choice to one of the world's largest data center footprints.

The "best of both worlds" -- you'll find that working for our company may be a little bit different. We are small enough, with only 1200 employees across our global portfolio, that your hard work will be visible throughout the organization, yet our extensive offering of services and solutions and proven track record of growth; stability and industry-leading innovation give you the resources and tools you need to take your career to the next level.

Unique culture -- we are a collaborative, people-focused company dedicated to quality and continuous improvement. When you become a member of our team, you receive our commitment to your continued development and support. 

Strong foundation -- our financial strength and stability provide our customers with the assurance that Digital Realty and Telx will be their partner for current data center needs and those in the future, and our investment credit ratings provide us access to paths for more capital. We view each of our customers as a long-term partner.

Green standard for sustainability -- we are committed to improving the performance and energy efficiency of our data centers through the creation, adoption and promotion of industry-leading best data center practices and experience. We are pioneers in thinking about green data centers and are also a Contributing Member of The Green Grid.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and discretionary bonus program, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision plans; flexible spending plans for multiple purposes; a health savings account; a 401(k) plan with company match and much more.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will be flexible and adaptable; there will be a lot going on, and priorities and deadlines will change frequently. You may start the day with a well laid out to-do list, but you can expect that list to change more than once! You'll need to understand the CEO's priorities, recognize what is most urgent, and handle it with unruffled confidence. To fit in well with the team you will be down-to-earth and take direction with a "can do" attitude. You'll be resourceful, learn quickly, and accomplish tasks autonomously, but you also should know when to ask for help or clarification. We want you to "find your groove" and truly enjoy the role.

As always, patience will be a virtue. The CEO's meeting schedule is heavy, and getting several busy executives in the same place at the same time is never easy. Also, the CEO will send an email when an idea or thought comes to him, even on weekends. He won't expect you to respond immediately to each one, but you should keep track of all the ideas, instructions, and reminders he sends.

To be an outstanding Executive Assistant, you will be a go-getter, ready to jump in and take ownership of your assignment. There will be tasks that you haven't done before, but you should be fearless about learning and managing new responsibilities. Fearless, however, is not careless. You'll take a logical approach and always rely on your strong judgment.
