Company-specific questions
- Conflict of Interest If hired, do you expect that you will engage in any outside employment, consulting, freelance or advisory work, board service, trade or industry group, teaching role, personally owned business, financial interest, or other outside professional or business activity that could reasonably conflict with CrowdStrike’s business or interfere with the responsibilities of the position for which you are applying (excluding non-competing personal hobbies, passive investments, or uncompensated civic activities that do not impact your work)? This may include an activity or interest that overlaps with your role or expected duties at CrowdStrike; overlaps with CrowdStrike’s business or offerings; creates a significant competing time or loyalty commitment; or could involve CrowdStrike confidential information, resources, or business opportunities. You do not need to disclose an activity that will end before your start date and will leave no continuing interest, obligation, or restriction relevant to cybersecurity or your work at CrowdStrike. A “Yes” response will not automatically disqualify you from consideration. It will allow CrowdStrike to determine whether a potential conflict exists and, if so, whether it can be avoided or appropriately managed. This question applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Acknowledgment As an AI-native company, CrowdStrike embraces the thoughtful use of AI tools in our work. During our interview process, some assessments may expressly permit the use of AI and other tools — we will make this clear upfront when that is the case. I acknowledge that unless explicitly told otherwise by my interviewer(s), I will complete all interviews and assessments through my own independent work, without assistance from generative AI, automated tools, or other external resources. Where AI use is permitted, I understand that my interviewer(s) will specify which tools are authorized and how they may be used. I understand that using unauthorized tools or resources during any stage of the interview process may result in my disqualification from consideration.

About the Role
CrowdStrike is looking for an Executive Assistant to support three VP-level leaders across our global Engineering organization. This role provides administrative and operational support in a fast-paced environment, partnering closely with Engineering teams and cross-functional groups to keep leaders and their organizations running smoothly.
This is a hybrid role based in Sunnyvale, CA or Redmond, WA. Onsite presence of 2 days per week is required, with additional in-office attendance to support executive meetings, onsites, and team events.
What You'll Do
Calendar and Meeting Management
- Manage complex, high-volume calendars in Google calendar across multiple time zones, resolving conflicts and reprioritizing as business needs shift sometimes without direction.
- Coordinate leadership team meetings, staff meetings, and department all-hands — including agenda distribution, materials prep, notes, and action-item follow-up
- Follow up to ensure commitments and deliverables are met by others across the org
Travel and Expense
- Book and manage domestic and international travel, proactively adjusting for schedule changes and disruptions
- Brief leaders on relevant travel considerations — visas, currency, weather, and local logistics — and coordinate with Global Security on advisories where applicable
- Complete accurate, timely expense reconciliation and reporting in line with company policy
- Serve as an approval delegate for travel requests and expense reports on behalf of supported executives, applying company travel and expense policy and escalating exceptions or out-of-policy items to the executive or manager
Events and Program Coordination
- Plan and organize group activities and events for up to ~60 attendees without additional support, identifying who will do what and when, and monitoring progress and resource use
- Track meeting budgets, following approval workflows and coordinating with procurement teams, catering, activities, and travel logistics
- Coordinate logistics for recurring talent programs — annual performance review and mid-year promotion cycles — including scheduling review sessions, communicating deadlines, and tracking documentation completeness in partnership with HR and Talent Acquisition
Operational Support and Partnership
- Take personal responsibility, with guidance from your manager, for well-defined recurring projects such as weekly status reporting and onsite planning
- Identify and act on issues within your area of responsibility rather than waiting for escalation; try varied approaches and persist when difficulties arise
- Surface process friction points and improvement ideas to your manager and the broader EA team
- Build and maintain effective working relationships with EA peers, Engineering leaders, and cross-functional partners; navigate ambiguity and help resolve scheduling and prioritization conflicts across teams
- Handle confidential and sensitive information with consistent discretion and sound judgment
What You'll Need:
- 2+ years of executive administrative support experience, including direct support of senior leaders (Director level or above), or equivalent combination of experience and education
- Demonstrated experience booking and managing complex domestic and international travel, including multi-leg itineraries, visa and documentation requirements, and real-time rebooking during disruptions
- Demonstrated experience managing complex, high-volume calendars across multiple time zones for multiple stakeholders
- Proficiency with Google Workspace — Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive — is required
- Proficiency with Zoom and Slack is required
- Daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your workflow — for example, drafting and editing communications, summarizing meetings and documents, researching travel and logistics, or preparing briefing materials — and enthusiasm for adopting new AI tooling as it becomes available
- Experience acting as an approval delegate for travel and expense workflows, with working knowledge of T&E policy
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization
- Exceptional attention to detail — reviews all relevant information before acting and proactively seeks review of your own work
- Proven ability to plan and coordinate group events and meetings independently
- Demonstrated discretion in handling confidential and proprietary information
- Ability to work onsite in Sunnyvale, CA or Redmond, WA on a hybrid schedule
- Willingness and ability to travel domestically with advance notice to support leadership meetings, onsites, and conferences
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Bonus Points
- Experience with Workday, Expensify, Confluence, Navan, and Coupa
- Experience supporting Product or Engineering leadership
- Experience at a high-growth technology company, SaaS company, or startup
- Cybersecurity industry knowledge
- Experience supporting distributed or globally dispersed teams
