About X:
X is Alphabet’s moonshot factory with a mission of inventing and launching “moonshot” technologies that could someday make the world a radically better place. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup. As an innovation engine, X focuses on repeatedly turning breakthrough-technology ideas into the foundations for large, sustainable businesses.
About the role:
As an Administrative Business Partner (ABP), you are at the heart of your team’s operations and culture.

You are flexible and proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and you possess strong judgement and communication skills. You are able to interact with a variety of people and job functions internally and externally and you are a thoughtful representative of X, and its leaders.
Our team of Executive and Administrative Business Partners at X is a tight knit community that supports one another and values collaboration among each other and across the portfolio of teams each of us support. Our ideal candidate will be able to act independently and proactively, while also contributing to and continuing to build our ABP team.

- Serve as a team player and program manager of various small and medium projects as required.
What you should have:
- BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 2+ years of direct executive support or a combination of executive support and program management experience.
It’d be great if you had these:
- At least two years of experience managing day-to-day tasks while also juggling and completing longer-term program manager duties and project(s).
- Ability to read situations and bring a balance of previous expertise to the table, while also knowing when to seek new answers or quickly learn new tools and technologies.
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse range of people and job functions.
- Strong strategic- and critical-thinking skills that are constantly employed when decision-making, problem-solving, and communicating.
