Executive Assistant - VP GM Energy Americas

Job Overview

TE Connectivity is a global industrial technology leader — NYSE-listed, operating in over 130 countries, with 90,000+ people connecting power, signal, and data across the industries that shape the future. Our Energy Business Unit sits at the intersection of grid modernization, renewable energy, and industrial power: markets that are accelerating, not slowing down.

Energy Americas is one of the BU's most active regions — spanning the United States, Mexico, and Latin America, with a major manufacturing and leadership hub right here in Raleigh. The region is on a deliberate growth path, pursuing both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, with a leadership team that moves quickly and expects the same.

This role sits at the centre of that engine. You will be the only Executive Assistant based in Raleigh supporting the VP & GM — which means you are the person who makes the office work. Not a title, not a task list: a genuine partner to a senior executive who travels extensively and depends on someone exceptional holding the fort, keeping everything moving, and knowing when to call it and when to handle it.

If you are the kind of EA who thrives on ownership, earns trust fast, and takes quiet pride in being the person a leader genuinely cannot do without — this role was written for you.

• Serve as the first point of contact for the executive office: triage inbound requests, filter with judgment, and ensure nothing important falls through the cracks while the leader is on the road.
• Prepare the VP & GM for every engagement — briefing packs, pre-reads, background research, and talking points assembled proactively, without being asked.

Drive the Leadership Rhythm

• Design and own the annual Americas leadership calendar — Quarterly Business Reviews, strategy sessions, leadership team off-sites, town halls, and all-hands events — coordinated across US, Mexico, and Latin American sites.
• Run all meeting logistics end-to-end: agendas, materials, logistics, minutes, and action tracking so follow-through actually happens.
• Maintain accountability on open items from key leadership meetings; keep the leadership team honest on commitments without being asked to.
• Partner with the global Energy BU EA community to align Americas cadence with global operating rhythms.

Communicate with Impact

• Draft and finalise executive communications for the VP & GM — employee messages, town hall scripts, business updates, milestone announcements — in a voice that is clear, direct, and human.
• Build polished, executive-ready PowerPoint presentations for reviews, strategy sessions, and leadership forums, consistent with TE brand standards.
• Own the Americas communications calendar and ensure content, cadence, and tone are consistent across all channels.

• Support logistics for confidential executive meetings and sensitive stakeholder engagements, coordinating with Legal and Finance as required.
• Maintain secure document governance and file management aligned with TE information security policies.

Make Raleigh the Place People Want to Come
