Administrative Assistant

Administrative Assistant

“We make magic happen.” And it permeates everything we do.  At Disney Central, you will help support that magic by enabling our teams to challenge the limits and build new and exciting experiences.

About the Role & Team

In this role, you will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day administrative function that will ensure smooth operations while providing essential support for the leaders.  This role is often cross-functional, providing support for two or more departments, with responsibilities that are specific to the line of business and may vary over time.  The teams are leaders who require assistance with calendar management, internal and external Cast and Guest requests, as well as work-related processes and deliverables.  The nature of these requests may differ depending on the department and seasonality.  They may be scheduled in advance or arise unexpectedly, sometimes with short notice. 

Success in this role requires strong technical, organizational, and communication skills.  Leaders will rely on the individual’s ability to prioritize effectively, manage multiple responsibilities, and communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing.  While core duties include calendaring, preparing memos, managing expense reports, and maintaining spreadsheets, this position is fundamentally centered on people and relationships.

The ideal candidate will build strong partnerships with leaders and colleagues, provide thoughtful and responsive support, and develop a strong understanding of the structure and operation.
