About The Position

SPS Commerce is a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, serving a global network of retail trading partners. We foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment where innovation and continuous improvement are highly valued. Join SPS Commerce and be part of a dynamic team that's transforming the global retail supply chain! Position Summary: Senior Executive Assistant to the Chief Marketing Officer Marketing at SPS Commerce is evolving — and this is your chance to be part of something big. As our business scales and our global reach expands, we’re building a marketing organization that does more than create awareness — we drive demand, deepen relationships, and deliver measurable impact across every stage of the customer journey. We’ve reimagined how we work, combining functional expertise with deep customer insight. Our team is structured around key areas like Brand, Demand Generation, and Product Marketing, and we collaborate through cross-functional pods aligned to distinct customer segments. The Role This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role. As the Senior Executive Assistant to the Chief Marketing Officer, you will operate as a strategic partner and force multiplier — ensuring the CMO’s time, focus, and energy are aligned to the highest-impact work. You’ll serve as an extension of the CMO, acting as the connective tissue across the marketing organization and broader leadership team. You are the eyes and ears of the office — stepping in with confidence, driving alignment, and moving work forward even when direction is limited. This role requires sound judgment, strong presence, and the ability to influence outcomes in a fast-paced, highly dynamic environment. You are also highly tech-forward — constantly looking for ways to leverage AI and modern tools to simplify workflows, increase efficiency, and elevate how the business operates.

Exceptional organizational skills paired with the ability to prioritize what truly matters
Demonstrated ability to influence without authority and drive outcomes across teams
High level of technical fluency, with curiosity and hands-on experience using AI tools, automation, and modern workplace technologies
A mindset of continuous improvement — always looking for smarter, more efficient ways to work
A calm, steady, and solutions-oriented mindset

Responsibilities

Own and strategically manage a complex, ever-changing executive calendar — making trade-offs that reflect business priorities
Anticipate needs, remove friction, and proactively solve problems before they surface

Drive follow-through on key initiatives by tracking commitments, pushing stakeholders, and ensuring accountability
Prepare high-quality materials, briefings, and communications that enable effective decision-making
Coordinate leadership meetings, offsites, and travel with precision and intention
