Company mission
The leading composable commerce platform that arms you with the essential tools to evolve, build, and scale at your own pace
Role
Who you are
- Proven experience supporting C-level executives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You understand how to partner effectively with leadership and navigate executive priorities
- You don't wait for a to-do list. You are a self-starter who looks ahead, anticipates potential roadblocks, asks clarifying questions early, and takes pride in driving successful outcomes
- You welcome feedback as a tool for continuous improvement (especially regarding complex scheduling and travel logistics) and adapt gracefully to evolving priorities
- High cognitive bandwidth with the ability to switch gears smoothly, manage multiple priorities in parallel, and keep projects moving forward
- You genuinely care about the craftsmanship of your work, the success of the executives you support, and the overarching mission of the company
What the job involves
- In this role, you will serve as a trusted strategic partner and right hand to our Chief Customer Officer (CCO) and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
- We are looking for a C-level EA who understands the flow of the executive suite and thrives on keeping things moving smoothly
- You will be the internal champion who helps drive momentum—someone who naturally anticipates needs, connects the dots, and ensures key initiatives stay on track
- While your primary focus is keeping our executives aligned and moving forward, you will also help maintain the vibrant heartbeat and culture of our Boston hub
- Manage complex, fast-moving calendars with a proactive approach, optimizing the executives' time and ensuring key projects progress smoothly
- Maintain open, clear communication loops with the CCO and CMO, keeping leadership effortlessly informed and aligned in real time
- Oversee intricate domestic and international travel logistics, ensuring seamless itineraries from start to finish
- Join key leadership meetings to capture action items, organize all-hands and onsite events, and help facilitate quarterly business cadences
- Engage with relevant Slack channels to help maintain team organization, share reminders, and keep regional teams connected
- Partner with our Europe-based Workplace Experience team to keep the Boston office welcoming and functional, while organizing engaging local events that bring our Boston team together
Our take
eCommerce software simplifies complex processes and helps companies effectively manage their inventory, calculate taxes and perform other business-related functions. While companies like Shopify have addressed the needs of smaller retailers, commercetools has built its business around catering to enterprises' specific needs and large investment budgets.
The company provides APIs that can be used to build customised payment, check-out, social commerce, marketplace and other services. It powers billions of sales annually for its customers, which have included Audi, AT&T, Danone, Tiffany & Co., and John Lewis.
In 2021, commercetools acquired the frontend platform, Frontastic, to build a broader portfolio of commerce technology services. In 2023, commercetools scaled the availability of its tools in mainland China, marking the first cloud-native commerce solution to ever expand into the country, a significant expansion, seeing as the nation is the largest single eCommerce market worldwide. Though it now faces more competition in the form of Shopify and other growing competitors - as well as the threats of international tariffs, commercetools continues to innovate in the headless commerce space.
