Sr. Executive Business Partner Raleigh, NC | San Francisco, CA | Remote

About the role

Pendo's Executive Business Partners are embedded directly with senior leadership, operating as trusted partners across the business. You own the operating rhythm for one or more of Pendo's senior executives, including calendar strategy, travel logistics, executive communications, and meeting prep. You extend your executive's capacity by anticipating what they need, making the calls they should not have to make, and keeping their organization moving without being asked. You think and operate at the intersection of execution and strategy: close enough to the work to handle it, and sharp enough to inform it. You partner across functions and serve as a trusted proxy in situations that require discretion, speed, and judgment.

Responsibilities

• Own the full operating rhythm for your executive: calendar strategy, travel logistics, executive communications, and meeting prep.
• Drive prep for all high-stakes touchpoints including leadership offsites, board reviews, QBRs, and cross-functional alignment sessions.
• Act as the connective tissue between your executive and the broader organization, aligning stakeholders, tracking commitments, and closing action items without being chased.
• Take on discrete workstreams on behalf of your executive, tracking follow-through on org-wide priorities, connecting dots across teams, and helping move initiatives forward when things stall or need a push.
• Build and maintain AI-assisted processes for briefing prep, research synthesis, communication drafts, and scheduling.
• Maintain a current understanding of your executive's organization, identifying risks and surfacing patterns before they become problems.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion across compensation, personnel, and strategic planning.

Requirements

• 7+ years supporting senior executives in a fast-moving, high-growth tech environment, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of executive operations and strategic work, not just task execution.
• Proven ability to operate at the intersection of execution and strategy: you handle the day-to-day and contribute meaningfully to the bigger picture.
• Track record of operating independently: you manage competing priorities, make judgment calls without escalating every decision, and close the loop without being chased.
• Proven discretion with sensitive information across compensation, personnel decisions, and strategic planning.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft clearly and accurately on behalf of senior leaders and represent their voice in cross-functional settings.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: you do not need a complete picture to take the next step, and you do not go quiet when the path is unclear.

Qualifications

• Active AI fluency: you are using AI tools in your daily work today, can describe how your workflows have changed, and are willing to share what you have learned with teammates.

• Bias to Act (Judgment).
• Maniacal Focus (EBP Velocity).
