Department Description:
The International Government Affairs team is a diverse, high-impact cohort of professionals managing the company’s strategic engagement with government officials, legislators, and regulators throughout EMEA, APAC, and ASEAN.

Role Description:
You will serve as the strategic partner to the Vice President of International Government Affairs (EMEA, APAC, ASEAN) and Global Public Policy. Your mission is to maximize leadership impact by navigating complex internal ecosystems, orchestrating global logistics, and ensuring a distributed 20-person team remains synchronized across three continents. Beyond traditional calendar management, you will own the operational rhythm of a high-velocity global department.

4. Team Coordination
Team Pulse: Organise team meetings and offsites that actually work for a distributed group.
