Keysight Global Services helps customers get more from their test instruments throughout their lifecycles, from calibration and repair to technology refresh, asset management, consulting, and training. As an Executive Assistant on this team, you'll help several leaders stay organized and keep important work moving. You'll coordinate busy calendars and travel, prepare polished materials, support meetings and events, and follow through on the details that make a difference. You'll work closely with colleagues across Global Services, use technology and AI tools to improve everyday workflows, and bring sound judgment, discretion, and initiative to a role where your contributions are visible every day.

This role offers a flexible hybrid work arrangement. Candidates must live within commuting distance of Keysight's Santa Rosa office and be able to work on site as business needs arise, sometimes with little or no advance notice.
