Manager, Executive Assistant

Asana is looking for a strategic, supportive, and business-savvy leader to manage our global Administrative Business Partner (ABP) community. This is a people-first leadership position designed to bring stability, clarity, and growth to a team that is the backbone of our executive leadership. You will lead our full-time, global ABPs and oversee our offshore ABP support program. This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule.

• Bridge Strategy & Execution: Act as a high-level partner to the Head of RE & Workplace, ensuring the ABP function aligns with Asana’s broader business goals.
• Evaluate & Optimize: Conduct comprehensive strategic audits of internal programs, determining their long-term viability, impact on executive productivity, and whether to scale, pivot, or maintain the current model.
• Development of Team: Coach the high-performing team of ABPs, ensuring they are accountable for the overall quality and consistency of their work, grounded in business context and aligned to company priorities.
• Standardize Excellence: Develop a standard of excellence based on the Asana Operating Principles for executive support—creating playbooks for calendar management, global travel, and meeting rhythms.
• Resource Management: Manage headcount planning, budgeting, and workload balancing, ensuring the ABP team is not over-leveraged and every executive has the right level of support.
• Foster Culture: Build a sense of community and team among a group often siloed within different functional departments.
• Lead with Empathy: Act as a stable, empathetic, and supportive coach for the ABP team, helping them navigate fast-paced and high-stress roles and charting clear pathways for professional development.

• 8+ years of people management experience and a proven track record of leading through change with grace and transparency and leading high performing teams.
• Experience in leading remote teams and building relationships with Executive leaders.
• Strategic Business Acumen: Understand business drivers, look at a program and see the ROI through data and stakeholder feedback.
• Systems Thinking: Love using tools (big plus if that's Asana!) and proficient in using AI tools to create clarity out of chaos. Think in terms of scalable processes, not just one-off fixes.
• Executive Presence: Comfortable interacting with executive leaders, possessing professional polish and discretion.
• Resilience & Stability: Navigate ambiguity and high-stakes environments without passing stress down to your team.
• Technical Savvy: Expert-level knowledge of Google Workspace and a passion for mastering Asana to streamline global coordination. Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies.
