Administrative Assistant, Product Leadership

We believe that when passionate people are able to spend less time struggling with technology, they can spend more time on what matters—like teaching students, running businesses, keeping airports safe, and connecting disaster victims with relief. That’s the real power of simplicity. Cisco Meraki is the leader in cloud-managed IT, thanks to our creative, inclusive, adventurous team that is driven to simplify technology so the world can simply work.

We are seeking an Administrative Assistant to provide support for three of our Product Management leaders and their teams. All three leaders are based on the west coast, both at our headquarters in San Francisco and in one remote location.
