About this role
<p><strong>At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. </strong></p> <p></p><div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><b>Job Overview</b></H2> </div><div><p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><b>Job Requirements</b></H2> </div><div><p><strong>Be the Anchor of the Executive Office</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own the VP & GM's calendar end-to-end — protecting strategic time, resolving conflicts across time zones, and keeping the day structured even when plans change mid-flight.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Prepare the VP & GM for every engagement — briefing packs, pre-reads, background research, and talking points assembled proactively, without being asked.</li> <li>Manage domestic and international travel with precision: multi-leg itineraries, visas, ground logistics, contingency plans, and on-the-go adjustments when things inevitably shift.</li> <li>Handle expense management, internal approvals, and administrative workflows smoothly and on time.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Drive the Leadership Rhythm</strong></p> <ul> <li>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.</li> <li>Run all meeting logistics end-to-end: agendas, materials, logistics, minutes, and action tracking so follow-through actually happens.</li> <li>Maintain accountability on open items from key leadership meetings; keep the leadership team honest on commitments without being asked to.</li> <li>Partner with the global Energy BU EA community to align Americas cadence with global operating rhythms.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Communicate with Impact</strong></p> <ul> <li>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.</li> <li>Build polished, executive-ready PowerPoint presentations for reviews, strategy sessions, and leadership forums, consistent with TE brand standards.</li> <li>Own the Americas communications calendar and ensure content, cadence, and tone are consistent across all channels.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Handle Sensitive Matters with Absolute Discretion</strong></p> <ul> <li>Manage confidential information — including matters related to strategic transactions, personnel, and financial planning — with the discretion expected in a publicly listed company.</li> <li>Support logistics for confidential executive meetings and sensitive stakeholder engagements, coordinating with Legal and Finance as required.</li> <li>Maintain secure document governance and file management aligned with TE information security policies.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Make Raleigh the Place People Want to Come</strong></p> <ul> <li>Serve as executive host for visiting leaders, customers, and key stakeholders at the Raleigh site — ensuring a seamless, professional experience from arrival to departure.</li> <li>Coordinate site visits across Americas manufacturing locations, including agenda, safety protocols, and employee engagement elements.</li> <li>Partner with Raleigh facilities and the Americas office manager network to maintain a sharp, well-run executive environment.</li> <li>Manage onboarding logistics for new Americas leadership team members joining the Raleigh site.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Work Smarter, Not Just Harder</strong></p> <ul> <li>Use AI-enabled tools (Microsoft Copilot and TE-approved platforms) to automate, summarise, and accelerate the administrative load so more time goes to the work that actually matters.</li> <li>Champion excellent use of Microsoft 365 — Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel — to keep the team connected and informed.</li> </ul></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><b>What your background should look like</b></H2> </div><div><div> <ul> <li>8+ years supporting a C-suite or senior Vice President-level executive, ideally in a publicly traded, multinational, or industrial company.</li> <li>A track record of supporting a leader who travels heavily — you have operated independently, made good calls, and kept things running without daily check-ins.</li> <li>Experience handling confidential business matters with zero missteps: M&A activity, personnel decisions, financial information, or board-level communications.</li> <li>Exposure to multi-country or multi-site operations is a strong plus; prior work in manufacturing, energy, or industrial sectors is an advantage.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Skills</strong></p> <ul> <li>Outstanding written communication — you can draft a board-quality message or a warm all-hands note with equal confidence.</li> <li>Advanced Microsoft 365 skills: PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Excel, SharePoint. You do not need training — you improve the way others use them.</li> <li>Genuine project management instinct — you track many things simultaneously, you do not drop balls, and you drive completion without being chased.</li> <li>Bilingual English/Spanish is a meaningful advantage given regular engagement with Mexico and Latin American teams.</li> <li>Comfortable navigating financial summaries, operational dashboards, and executive KPI reports — not to own them, but to work with them fluently.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Education</strong></p> <ul> <li>Bachelor's degree preferred; relevant field not prescribed.</li> <li>Professional EA credentials (CAP, PACE, or equivalent) are a welcome plus.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>WHO YOU ARE</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li><strong>Trusted without question</strong>- People share sensitive information with you because you have never given them a reason not to. Confidentiality is instinct, not policy.</li> <li><strong>A step ahead</strong> - You anticipate what the executive needs before they know they need it. Your preparation makes their decisions look effortless.</li> <li><strong>Calm when it counts</strong> - When priorities collide and the calendar catches fire, you stay composed, reprioritise clearly, and keep everyone around you steady.</li> <li><strong>Energised by growth</strong> - An organisation that is changing fast and getting bigger is exciting to you, not exhausting. You build the plane as it flies — and enjoy it</li> <li><strong>Fluent across cultures</strong> - You move naturally between conversations with plant operators in Monterrey and senior leaders in Raleigh. Hierarchy does not faze you — people do.</li> <li><strong>Accountable to the detail</strong> - You consider accuracy non-negotiable. The right number, the right name, the right time. Every time — because in this role, the details are the product.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>WHAT WE OFFER</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Real access</strong>- You work directly with a senior executive who values great support. No layers, no bureaucracy between you and the person you serve.</li> <li><strong>Front Row Seat</strong>- You will see the strategy as it forms, sit in rooms most people do not, and understand the business at a level that few support roles offer.</li> <li><strong>Global Reach</strong>- A role that spans the Americas — regular engagement with teams in the US, Mexico, and Latin America, with travel to match</li> <li><strong>A Growing Business </strong>- Energy Americas is on an active growth trajectory. As the business scales, so does this role — in scope, visibility, and responsibility.</li> <li><strong>Flexibility Where It Fits </strong>- We expect strong on-site presence at Raleigh — the executive depends on it. Within that, we offer flexibility where the role genuinely allows.</li> <li><strong>A Team That Invests</strong> - Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and a leadership team that understands great EA support is a strategic asset, not overhead.</li> </ul> </div> <p> </p></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><b>Competencies</b></H2> </div><div><div>SET : Strategy, Execution, Talent (for managers)</div></div></div></div><p><strong>ABOUT TE CONNECTIVITY</strong></p> <p>TE Connectivity plc (NYSE: TEL) is a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future.
